How is any of this relevant to the (still-unanswered) question of how and why he died in police custody?
Perhaps to show that he was a dangerous repeat offender and not an innocent cherub? Just like Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin and hundreds of others.
•March 13, 2015: Malicious destruction of property, second-degree assault
•September 28, 2013: ...unlawful possession of a controlled dangerous substance, second-degree assault, second-degree escape
Could potentially support the case that he was resisting arrest, trying to escape, or attacking police officers.
That was my first thought
Unless his arrest record was for beating up cops this is barely relevant
It plays into usual freeper logic of law breakers sorta have it coming
