Does anyone jave the raw video without the stupid media commentary?

I had trouble once this week understanding what someone said, so after that I decided I had to be more careful in the event I might have a misunderstanding with someone that I actually agree with.

So now I think it`s safe to say we are on opposing sides..and that`s fine. I am keeping an open mind with benefit going to the police at this point, as in innocent until proven guilty.

I am also wanting to know for sure if Freddie had recent surgery or not.

I don’t know why so many of my fellow conservatives are willing to accept the State’s propaganda when delivered by a badge.

You don’t have to support criminals to be skeptical of a militarized police force, or doubt that the man in custody deliberately broke his own spine.

From what I read now, the surgery thing was bogus. They are looking at a second stop made by the van that was not reported by the police, but a stop which was caught on a private camera.

Also, a report that the other prisoner who said Gray was banging his head against the side of the van, could not see Gray. They were divided by a partition. Reportedly this other prisoner was in the van for two minutes and out.

Also, the lead arresting officer, you have probably heard, had all his weapons taken from his possession with mental problems of his own, and going through a nasty divorce. No report on if this is old news or news or true news.
Weird news.

Obviously some insiders are leaking things unhelpful to the cops report. When one said and the other one is dead, and there are no cameras and no forthcoming witnesses but the cops and drivers who were there, we will never really know the truth.

Did you know that Freddie sold drugs to kids? And that he had a record, has done prison time, has a long list of arrests, had a number of serious cases pending?

I am for innocent until proven guilty.

I dont know what people expect from police? They are dealing with large percentage of black`s because they are the ones robbing the liquor stores etc

Maybe the answer is reduced sentences for blacks? Or make liquor store hold ups legal for blacks.

[RitaOK]

Yes, I knew he had a long record and used and sold. I didn’t hear about to kids, but that goes with selling I’m sure. The cops knew him by sight I understand.

It sounds like the cops have been cleared, finally, by the goofy mayor or whoever decided the people were owed a little more information. Thank God it came, and seems to vindicate the arresting cops. The driver is still in “possible trouble”, but will we ever know the truth in these cases with no cameras?

There are bad cops out there, and there are drugged up black anarchists in these neighborhoods, evidently. It’s a very bad mix and scary to me. It was just hard to believe anybody could kill themselves over a temper fit, sever there own spine. He will probably be found to have more drugs than blood in his system to do such self inflicted harm.
