UNARMED BLACK MAN KILLED IN POLICE CUSTODY
On April 12, Freddie Gray, healthy and whole, was arrested by the Baltimore Police.
According to his family and attorney Billy Murphy, when Freddie arrived at the hospital he had three broken vertebrae, his spinal cord was severed 80 percent, his voice box damaged, and his brain was swollen.
He died a week later from a “significant spinal injury”, police confirmed on Monday, while claiming it remained unknown how he was hurt. Chiefs said Gray appeared to have been injured while locked alone in a compartment of their transportation wagon.“When Mr Gray was put in that van, he could talk, he was upset. And when he was taken out of that van, he could not talk and he could not breathe,” deputy police commissioner Jerry Rodriguez said at a press conference.“It’s clear that what happened happened inside the van,” said mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake. “We don’t have any procedure that would have an officer riding in the back of the van with the suspect.”
The police thus far have refused to give any reasonable explanation of how Gray went from healthy to dead in their custody. New incident reports that were just released state that Gray “was arrested without force or incident” and that he “suffered a medical emergency” in the back of the police van after his arrest. However there was also a video taken of the arrest by a bystander which appears to show the police were lying because they did in fact use excessive amount of force to the point that you can see Freddie limping while being dragged to the police van.
Here’s the thing: spines don’t sever themselves.
So, whatever the case, the police report is grossly inaccurate. Either Gray suffered those catastrophic injuries during his arrest or he suffered them in the van.
We need answers.
