Look closely at the video. His limp frame was like that of a rag doll and he was artificially being propped up to look like he was both ambulent and able to stand or climb into the van on his own.
But, so far, I guess I'm the only one on FR to hold this opinion.

I agree with you.
Personally I think it's conspiracy to commit first degree murder after the initial injury. I think a knee to the spine was applied too hard, too close to the neck during the takedown and snapped it, probably accidentally. That would also explain the crushed larynx. But to cover it up, they decided they would be better off if he died, supposedly during a rough paddy wagon ride. So - no paramedics, dragging a guy propped up to the van who was in pain and entirely paralyzed from the neck down, leaving him on the floor unstrapped-in, and stopping three separate times on the way to jail to "check" on him, making sure he arrives dead.
Chillingly cold-blooded coverup murder - and I believe they're all going to get away with it. That's just the way things work these days - cops pay for nothing, ever. And history has many, many examples of where such policies inevitably lead. But that's where we are.
It has been said that he requested his asthma inhaler and medical assistance several times on the way to the station. It’s not possible to speak with a crushed larynx.
There is a picture in this thread of Grey standing up right in front of the van. His neck was clearly not broken before getting into the van.
