No, the tapes do not show that medical assistance was requested at the arrest location. The Conservative Treehouse report with the transcripts is here. It shows that an ambulance was requested at 9:22 am, at 1600 W. North Ave. Gray was arrested at 8:40 am, on the 1700 block of Presbury street. The stop at 1600 W. North street was (as I noted in my previous post), the van's fourth stop, and took place 40 minutes after Gray's arrest (I said an hour above, because I mistakenly thought Gray had been arrested at 8:20, not 8:40).
Sorry for the confusion. I listened to the actual tapes when they were first posted. All of the dispatches being transmitted at the time were still on the tape. When I heard the officers call for medical assistance they were at the exact location that they had reported eye contact with Freddie Gray, at 1600 W. North. That was why I thought the EMT’s were called where the arrest was made. At any rate, Mosby’s claim that “at no time was medical assistance requested for Mr. Gray” is false. Medical assistance was requested when they picked up the next prisoner and an officer was left behind to redirect EMT’s. There was already a prisoner in the van when they picked up Gray, an his identity has not been released. The third prisoner was Donta Allen. Most of the media has not picked up on this fact yet.
