I have no idea how it happened. All we know for sure is that Gray's spine was in one piece when he took off running and then after less than an hour in police custody it wasn't. Somebody did something to him.
And you don’t think that falling down in the back of the van could have caused his injury?
“All we know for sure is that Gray’s spine was in one piece when he took off running and then after less than an hour in police custody it wasn’t. Somebody did something to him.”
The thing is, whoever may have done something to Gray may very well not even know it. In the heat of the takedown, which is obviously a physical event with force being used, any of the cops may have inadvertantly caused harm to the perp without even knowing it. Just as the perp could have caused harm to any of the Cops also, if he/she were struggling with them. It’s a two way street.
I err on the side of the Cops dealing with some pretty scummy characters, time and time again. And, as it is equally possible the perp intentionally tried to harm himself, and I doubt anyone will ever know the entire truth of the incident, I vote for release of all of the Cops because the charges against them are bogus, politically generated, and will not stand.
