Or he was so completely wasted/high he didn’t know any better. People jump off buildings when they’re high. They freak out and head butt things when they have the DTs. There’s any number of things this guy could have been doing.
To: Jan_Sobieski
Stupid thug. He didn’t mean to off himself, he just wanted to look like he had been beaten up by police.
I wish they would all to this to themselves.

They freak out and head butt things when they have the DTs. Having watched many episodes of "World's Dumbest Partiers" and "World's Dumbest Criminals," I can confirm this.

will be interesting to see what kind of “foreign substance” he had in his system....not that it will matter to the rioters and the race baitors.

He was “putting on his makeup” for his booking photo. He just misjudged the amount of bruising that would allow him to cash in.
He was a felon, and graduate of the prison system, he know how to work brutality lawsuits.

Contrary to popular belief it’s not that hard to break your neck.
I’ve worked around people that cracked their necks when they raised up and hit their heads.
A hard hat might keep you from knocking your brains out but if your neck is bent wrong when you hit it can crack/break your neck.

A prisoner sharing a police transport van with Freddie Gray told investigators that he could hear Gray banging against the walls of the vehicle and believed that he was intentionally trying to injure himself, according to a police document obtained by The Washington Post.The poor bastard thought he was headed for a 7 figure payout from the city and lost his life in the process.

This story might have been given a little more serious consideration if the authorities released it sooner.
And a timely release of information might have helped avoid the rioting, arson and looting that followed.
The original incident took place on April 12 and Freddie Gray died on April 19.
Five officers were suspended on April 21.
Why did it talk 10 days after his death to release this information?
The reasons for the delay are just as important as the story itself - maybe moreso at this juncture.

The left is now reporting this as news because Freddie Gray is no longer of any use to them. They achieved their riot, but the GOP governor had to send in the Maryland National Guard to achieve what Baltimore's idiot major refuse to let her PD achieve.
Time to throw Freddie under the bus and move on in search of the next riot they can inspire.

People run because they have something to hide and do not want to be incarcerated. The report will show why the police deemed it necessary to pursue him. I speculate that the report will show that he was on some type of drugs were in his system. When he was caught, he either out of control and flailing in anger, or he was trying to hurt himself to get a payout.
Unless this is a complete fabrication by the witness, it puts the police in a very difficult situation. Restraining someone who is drugged up is very difficult...

The left is now reporting this as news because Freddie Gray is no longer of any use to them. They achieved their riot, Yep. They burned down the stores. Now they can get back to wailing about "food deserts".

Mark Levin says this is all a RAT ploy to create a race war in the minds of blacks in order to get them to the polls.

Now the report that was due out tomorrow to the public will NOT be made public. I wonder if this is to give officials time to prepare for the almost-certain onslaught of more looting and stealing? Just sayin’......

"Theres any number of things this guy could have been doing."More than likely he was doing one thing, performing a "self tune-up" to bolster his excessive force civil suit against the police.
To: Jan_Sobieski
I doubt seriously the police broke his neck.
I’ve never seen anyone right after a neck injury screaming and flopping around, they are for the most part stunned, disoriented, and almost unable to move.
It’s not a complete knockout/blackout but close to it.
