The prudent thing would be to hold the speculation until all the facts are known. Saint Freddie might have had the injuries before he was even put into the van, and the rolling about was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

There are scores of other possibilities other than the prosecution theory that the mean racist police caused them either by beating or neglect.

The fact that Dr. Carson sees the need to even comment at this point shows he is not ready for prime time.

Agree. It doesn't matter what his qualifications are - he-wasn't-there and nothing good can come from guessing at this point.

Are you serious?

We are talking spinal cord. There was no straw that broke anything.

The facts are not going to sit well with anyone. I don’t think Carson would be commenting on the fly without some access to official records. Why should he not be allowed to comment? Just because he happens to be running for the highest office? Why does every damned word and action of every candidate have to be scrutinized as if it is a make-or-break deal? We do not know whether he has seen the autopsy or not. We accuse him of speculating, and then we ourselves speculate as to what he has or has not come to know through research. Bunch-o-chillins. LOL.

You are right on that. Unfortunately rampant speculation in these case has been common as of late. Obummer started it with his need to comment on the Trayvon incident. It only causes anger and unrest for everyone with a microphone to insert foot into mouth.
