BALTIMORE — A prisoner sharing a police transport van with Freddie Gray told investigators that he could hear Gray “banging against the walls” of the vehicle and believed that he “was intentionally trying to injure himself,” according to a police document obtained by The Washington Post.

If the police crushed his windpipe, he would have died on the spot. He didn’t. He was in the hospital for a week.

Sounds like St Gray is another thug who got himself killed. One less thug to feed.

“Prisoner in van says Freddie was trying to injure himself.”

Sure he was. And you are marked, Mr. Prisoner, to say what you’re told. Or else.

You mean, wait until the toxicology report is *fixed*, don’t you.

Ahh, no, six cops at risk? Fixing would never happen.

I've seen no evidence from the preliminary autopsy that said he had a crushed larynx.

The Baltimore PD is controlled by a black police chief who answers to a black mayor who seems to take stand-down orders from a black AG and a black president.

Yet you think the police officers are powerful enough to cover up.

according to multiple news sources, he was treated for a crushed larynx and neck fracture/spinal cord injury. There is no definitive final autopsy report at this time that I am aware of and I just heard that, ultimately, the final autopsy report would not be released to the public. If you don’t want to believe, that’s fine but that is what has been reported.

I had only seen that statement from a “Family lawyer”. He probably had his hand up too. Sigh.

No. I am guaranteeing the lab results will show drugs in the system of the victim. How else does this convenient revelation stay afloat? After all, six cops are at risk. The mayor is under fire. The police commissioner, also.

They don’t need a lab report that shows *no drugs* in Freddie Gray. This revelation by Mr. Prisoner Man is plugging one hole in a leaking dike.

If the only source is the family lawyer, whose statements are repeated endlessly by different media, then it is only one source.

The was a preliminary autopsy report and it was reported by multiple sources that this preliminary report only mentioned the neck injury.

according to multiple news sources, he was treated for a crushed larynx and neck fracture/spinal cord injury.

When you can reasonably demonstrate that he had a crushed larynx, such as a quote from an autopsy report or a quote from a doctor, please give me a ping.

If you don’t want to believe...

No, it's you who wants to believe.

Just curious...what’s the slogan for this one?

You know like “hands up don’t shoot” or “black lives matter”....

Come on, they better have a slogan in the next few days otherwise, how will LIVs know what narrative to follow and tweet out?

Well, as near as I can tell, the source that reported the neck fracture(s) and spinal cord injury is the same source that reported the crushed larynx-the family. None of it is straight from the medical records (which would be a HIPPA violation), or from a coroner's report or autopsy report as these haven't been finalized yet (to my knowledge).

And like I said, I just heard on Fox that they aren't even going to release the final autopsy report to the public.

Okay RitaOK.

In a city that is overwhelmingly black, in a PD that is a majority black, and is controlled by a black police chief, who answers to a black mayor, who seems to take stand-down orders from a black AG and a black president, you think that the fix is in for some white officers who killed Freddie the hero.

Sure...

they aren't going to release a final autopsy report and the doctors are not authorized to discuss Freddy's case due to health care privacy laws.

The source that asserted he had a fractured neck is the same source that asserts he has a crushed larynx. You are picking and choosing what you want to believe.

Where did I even consider race? Did I say anything linking color to the CYA going on? This isn’t really that hard, is it? No one else is having trouble getting the drift, here.

It is not a revolutionary event for those with influence to to want to color the evidence favoring a drug finding when your cops are in a predicament six deep, your mayor and police commissioner are under fire for incompetence. Do they need this to come out on the side of Freddie Gray? I think not.
