Video Evidence Emerges Of Freddie Gray Running Into Building During Chase
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 5-6-2015 | sundance

Posted on 05/06/2015 5:22:18 PM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

Baltimore police have continually said their initial reasoning for suspecting Freddie Gray of suspicious activity was his immediate running from police when bicycle officers made eye contact. However, no-one has revealed he ran into a building.

State Attorney Marilyn Mosby referenced the chase in her charging details:

Mosby Said: “On April, 12 2015 between 8:45 and 9:15 a.m., near the corner of North Avenue and Mount Street. Lt. Brian Rice of the Baltimore Police Department while on bike patrol with Officer Garrett Miller and Edward Nero made eye contact with Freddie Carlos Gray Jr.”

“Having made eye contact with Mr. Gray, Mr. Gray subsequently ran from Lt. Rice”.

“Lt. Brian Rice then dispatched over departmental radio that he was involved in a foot pursuit at which time bike patrol officers Rice, Miller and Nero began to pursue Mr. Gray”.

So maybe his injury was due to the collision with the building he ran into.

“My right to associate should include fleeing from .gov when nothing more than eye contact is made.”

True; but if you are a known criminal; the cops have a right to follow at that point as well.

Did they detain him? Did they ask him to stop before he ran?

This story says they made eye contact and he ran, implying that he ran before any order was directed at him. It does not say they recognized him as a known felon or a known wanted man and wanted to do a parole check or had any reasonable suspicion to stop him. What reason, other than him running, did they have to chase him?

When I read the headline that is actually what I thought at first, too. LOL. Then my brain kicked in...

The cops surely knew him and he shouldn't have been out on the streets anyway.

Freddie Gray, already with a long rap sheet, was convicted in May 2013 and sentenced to over 7 years, suspended, 18 months probation. The conviction included violation of a previous probation, second time for him.

Before his probation was up, he was arrested two more times. Soon after the probation was over, he was arrested five more times. He was out on bail for the last two arrests from March 2015, when he was subject to "an illegal arrest" in April and subsequently died.

It's all online in Maryland's case records.

I agree with you. The government needs to have a good reason (and imo a better reason than they are currently lawfully given) to give chase or detain a person. I reserve the right to run away from anyone, and absent a direct and lawful order so should everyone else.

If he was lawfully out of jail and not subject to an arrest warrant then all that is irrelevant. He may have been under restriction that required him to subject himself to additional search/loss of rights. That would be something to intellectually explore. But as far as I am concerned just running - even running away - is not a good enough reason for the police to stop someone.

And you can bet your last dollar that the leaders of the African American community are going to say that these incidents give black people reason to fear being stopped by the police, and that they have good reason to go out of their way to avoid police.

OUR time is now? OUR? She should be disbarred immediately and arrested for causing to incite a riot. This woman has absolutely no intention of following the law, has no respect for the law, and is siding with CRIMINALS. Un-freakin-believable that this woman is state attorney, holy God, who the hell elected her to that job? No doubt the same THUGS who are destroying property and peoples lives. Can you imagine if someone white and conservative talked like that after a bunch of white people went around destroying property, looting, burning cars, burning houses, burning stores, attempting to murder police by throwing cement blocks at their head? “Oh I am not going to prosecute you thugs, no I’m going after police officers because it is OUR time!” WTF?

I looked up her bio and found this:

“Mosby was raised in the Boston neighborhood of Dorchester”

WHAT a surprise! Another lib from the bowels of liberalism: Assachussets. I was just talking the other day about how that state has produced so much crap that causes this country so many problems. No offense to Freepers from that state, but my God, something really bad is going on there. Just about every problem we face today, every politician who is a major F up has come from that state in one way or another, whether it be from Harvard, or growing up there, it’s amazing really. They all have ties to Assachussets.

You didn't ask the question, did they ask him to stop when he ran?

Freddie Gray was a "usual suspect," as in "round up the usual suspects." We pay the cops to "profile" the "usual suspects." It's their job.

The state failed Freddy Gray in not keeping him in prison. Sad factoid of American life: Negro males (about 5% of the overall population) are committing about 50% of the crimes.

I guess he forgot to drop of the knife he was carrying. Maybe he understood that it was legal; or maybe he thought he had broken contact by entering the building, and had avoided detention.

Going into the building is interesting, but it proves nothing.
