How often is this an outright lie I wonder?

The media tried to contact ____ and they would not return their calls.

I don’t see anywhere that they dispute little Freddie’s extensive rap sheet postings.

Kristinn, as everyone at this site knows ... liberals and the rest of the web hate Free Republic because Free Republic gets to the truth and prints the truth ... liberals and the web hate us because of the skills, seeking truth, of those at the site known as Free Republic .... Kudos Kristinn!

I commented on that post but, we don’t have any real idea what happened to the guy or who is responsible.

News and speculation in the case, as in many others, is running rampant, with no corroboration.

But, we may rightly comment on on scenarios, without evidence, as speculation only.

We won’t know until city, states and feds reach some conclussion...

Yes, saw that in the Sun yesterday; disgraceful. The truth always comes out, no matter how much the O’Briens of the world try to suppress it.

FR was VERY quick to debunk it and I was too quick to believe it. Serves me right. An even though he had a HUGH and SERIES rap sheet (I’ve been dying to use that) many freepers are right. That doesn’t warrant brutality. I try to change my thinking. Not going to lie and say we lost a great American. But I guess that’s not what its about.

Two leading newspapers have posted incorrect reports LIED regarding the role of Free Republic

Much more accurate. Kristinn, the meme is out, and there's no getting the toothpaste back in the tube.

Well, at least the media got the memo that they are to demonize, discredit, and basically Alinsky-ize Free Republic whenever given the opportunity. Well done!

I will say that I was surprised that the mods left the posts - it was posted more than once - up and running. The source was very dubious and it was all somebody’s suppositions.

Unfortunately, I saw people on other threads even today citing the post as truth, so the damage has been done.

Personally, I think Freddie Gray had a very severe asthma attack and possibly a seizure as a result, and the police either ignored it or didn’t check him closely enough when they stopped the van. The thumping and even the broken back is consistent with the type of injuries sustained by people in the course of a major seizure. He wasn’t belted down, but his arms and legs were restrained, and bucking his body against them may well have resulted in a broken back.

So the police were at least negligent, possibly even criminally negligent, but it’s a long way from that to “police brutality” or even intentional injury.

But that’s just my theory, and that’s all I’m offering it as! One theory among many...

Kind of in sync with the storyline in the movie Absence of Malice.
