I just heard on Larry Elder (black radio host in LA) an anonymous cop in Baltimore- even his voice was disguised.

He explained why Freddie Gray wasn’t belted in - the officer said combative prisoners are not belted in because they cause so many injuries to cops. Cops have to reach across the prisoner close to his body to belt them in and combative prisoners will bite or spit at the cop.

One of two people? I think not. If you’ll pardon me for saying so, this report that has been released IS one of those facts you say no one else is waiting on.

Don’t put yourself in a position to be loaded into a police car/van/wagon. You have screwed up by just being on the scene.
The loser screwed up and look what has become of his error.
We are racist, whether black or white. Avoid each other and we are better off. Maybe a free trip to Africa is in order for blacks.

Was he thrown against it or did he throw himself against it? Not that it’ll matter.

Another prisoner, i another compartment in the same van, said he heard the guy banging himself around. Evidently they are alone in the compartments and the other guy didn't have problems on the ride. Might be some mental issues with Freddie.

The other prisoner is not saying that at all. The police lied yet again.

Looks like we may never know exactly what happened - makes a case for mandatory body cams and to have cams in the "paddy wagons" too.

I try to give cops a fair shake, but the fact seems to be that there are more and more thugs on the force and many seem to have sadistic needs to maim/kill. They give the decent cops a bad name but cannot be ignored. Sad that they cause as much trouble as many of the perps.

Of course the liberal tolerance for thugs doesn't help - how many strikes does it take to put someone with his record away for a substantial time.

Progressive "liberalism" continues to take its toll on those it claims to champion (Hillary anyone?) and the victims seem to be pretty damn stupid and easily pointed in other directions.

FOX showed a clip where reporters were trying to ask madam mayor a few questions and Al "Sharlaton" was butting in and answering so she didn't have too - she looked like a deer in the headlights.

I don’t have a solution either. Depressing spectacle.
