There is always people defending these thugs. I remember the Ferguson shooting where the usual handful on here would want the cop to be put away for life while they ignore the rioting, the thugs, and the big baby boy who just put his hands up and pleaded don’t shoot.
You're missing the point. No one is "defending" Freddie Gray (heck, what is there even to defend him against? It's not like the officers have claimed that he was resisting arrest or anything like that). I and others are simply saying that the police officers here should be held accountable--as any of us would be held accountable--for engaging in a course of conduct that ultimately resulted in a man's death.
