Pravda, huh?
That publication that put out mis-information?
A little ironic.
Your ‘understanding’ that the ‘severity of the arrest’ led to a broken neck may be found in Pravda, but not the charging document:
“Following transport from Baker Street, Mr. Gray suffered a severe and critical neck injury as a result of being handcuffed, shackled by his feet and unrestrained inside of the BPD wagon.”
I hope you understand that not even the DA who charged these men thinks what your ‘understanding’ is. The charging document (quoted verbatim above) absolutely DOES NOT equate anything dealing with the arrest with the neck injury.
IOW your ‘understanding’ is false (and quite suitable for Pravda).
These are real people and very important matters. Why go with your ‘understanding’ when the real information is so easily accessible?
So I ask again - what was this guy’s crime? What little nugget have I left out of my narrative that is so damning?
Because DAs and cops lie. That's why the founders set up a country where stupid little people like me could ask questions about real people and very important matters, and condescending mockery like yours, about obvious flaws in charging documents that declare themselves to be easily accessible real information.
FYI, those charging documents you find so irresistibly satisfying ARE Pravda. But don't let it bother you - cops who break people's necks taking them down, or driving them around, or whatever, are heroes. The only people with a problem about such things are punks anyway. When a cop speaks, that is the truth. Questions prove the questioner needs an attitude adjustment.
Besides, everyone knows that it's more likely that the perp deliberately broke his own neck in the van, rather than having it broken in the take-down. And that his inability to walk in the video with the cops holding his head up after it flopped to the side was just him passively resisting arrest.
Jeez, what do you think - they broke his neck taking him down, tackling him, stomping on his neck, and then tried to HIDE it?! What part of that's completely impossible don't you get? Perps deliberately break their necks in police vans every day - check the FBI stats. So just shut your pie-hole, with that anti-American crap, you friggin communist.
