Is it illegal to make eye contact with a cop?
Do you consider them to be that far above you?
“The citizen failed to properly avert his eyes in the presence of his superior”...
You are out of character and defending an asshole.
It isn't even illegal to run away from a cop - although foolish.
Gray asked for medical help. Because he was "just a criminal" he was ignored. He died as a result. These officers have, justly in my opinion, been charged.
Being a cop does not excuse inhumanity.
