Thank you for the response.
On another thread, we were discussing this and I think his larynx got injured during the initial arrest when one of the cops had him pinned to the ground with a knee on the neck.
The spinal injury (IMHO) appears to have occurred because Mr. Gray would NOT STAY SEATED. I don’t believe the cops injured his spine, nor took him on a ‘nickel ride’.
Try standing up in the bed of a pickup truck with your shoelaces tied together. Have the driver gently take off.
Bet you fall. The laws of physics guarantee it.
I think Mr. Gray is responsible for his own injuries by not staying seated, and that the cops are ultimately responsible for the passenger in their vehicle, no matter how it happened or who it was.
The larynx injury...and much of the rest too, makes me wonder what the autopsy looks like.
How much can be firmly established that doesn't rely upon anyone's opinion?
The man is dead...of that we can be certain enough(?)
