Freddie Gray was arrested for carrying a knife that turns out was legal to carry. Now he is dead.

You cannot arrest someone for something they were previously arrested for - something about double jeopardy.

Can you show us the arrest report? Can you show us the cops' statement as to why they pursued Gray?

Since Gray was on probation for other crimes, we also need to know what restrictions he may have been under as part of that probation. Was he also on bail for pending charges?

Is it possible that associating with other drug dealers is cause for arrest if it violates one's terms of probation?

So far we know next to nothing about the reasons for his arrest... this will eventually come out in trials, but by then the whole world has already made up it's mind... just like in the Trayvon Marton and Brown cases.

Sorry, but that’s not what double jeopardy means.

Not even close.

==============================
Double jeopardy applies to being tried for the same crime,
not being arrested.

You can own it but you can’t carry it on your person.

Not even remotely...

I think you better re-check the rule book there, slick; you can't be TRIED twice for the SAME offense, is what 'double jeopardy' is about. IOW, if you are accused of, say, kidnapping someone, and you are tried and acquitted, you can't be tried for that again; but if you are arrested for kidnapping a second person, double jeopardy has NOTHING to do with it. You can and will be prosecuted for the second offense.
