There’s no doubt that the officers have been over-charged. But someone on the police force is responsible for the injuries that killed Gray and that person or persons shouldn’t be able to walk away scott-free.
How do you know that? Several witnesses have said that Mr. Gray was trying to injure himself, for whatever reason.
I watched an episode of ‘Cops’ last night. They had a car chase perp hop out of his car and start running on foot. 2 Cops caught up to him and took him down. One cop had his knee of the perp’s head, while the other cop had a knee on the guy’s neck. Did not look too pleasant for the perp. Gray’s neck could have easily been broken during the initial takedown. Who knows.
Maybe, maybe not. Can you rule out that medical personell injured Gray when they were trying to clear his airway and intubate him? Spinal cord injuries are not uncommon with intubation. What may have initially been a relatively minor fracture or no fracture can become major when the neck is not immobilized by a collar. That immobilzation did not occur until after he was treated in the hospital.
Is it possible if he had been standing in the van that when the van turned a corner he fell and hit his head or neck?
What about the man who just died in Mexico from falling off a treadmill and smashed his head and died if one can believe that then why not the other.
agree....I want to know what happened to him...and how...and why....
If folks would actually READ the Maryland statute on Second Degree Murder (with a depraved heart...or some such), they would likely not be so put off by that charge...and when it's shown, if it's shown, they took this guy on the "nickle ride"...they might agree with the charge.
The DA undermined the case by not taking her time.
But it LOOKS like the cops killed this guy.
