Gray suffered that injury after the officer driving his police transport van, Caesar Goodson, Jr., had placed him in leg shackles and put him on his stomach in the vehicle.

I think it is possible that Goodson could be found guilty of negligence for failing to properly secure Gray. None of the other officers have any responsibility.

The biggest problem is that Goodson is black, which totally destroys the narrative.

“It is police policy that all arrestees must be buckled in during transport. The policy, updated just nine days before Freddie Gray was injured, states “all passengers, regardless of age and location, shall be restrained by seat belts or other authorized restraining devices.””

“The biggest problem is that Goodson is black, which totally destroys the narrative. “

So this is just another example of Black on Black Crime? Actually, I agree with your assessment. Whomever had responsibility for Gray’s “safe transportation” is guilty of not providing same, but it wasn’t murder!
