Two very old white guys. One brother in law white guy. And one token black.

The way Gray was treated every white person in Baltimore should be protesting with the blacks. When a man is screaming in pain and can’t move his legs it’s time to lay him down and get a medical professional to determine if he’s faking it.

I don’t understand why cops think they should continue to beat a suspect once five cops have him on the ground. Nor do I understand why cops think they should taze a man once five cops have him on the ground. What if one of the cops mistook his pistol for his tazer and shot him? Oh, wait, that already happened.

FLAME AWAY.

Your post #52 has merit. Something is evidently very wrong with the Baltimore police department. As I noted in my post #50, this sort of thing has happened before. In that incident (2005), a jury awarded the family $200,000. That's a small sum for police malfeasance, but it was the maximum allowed by law (rather convenient law, that).

Some folks will take your post #52 as excusing the rioters. Of course, that's not what you're doing.

There are two sides to this story. Both are very ugly, and neither can be ignored.

Night sticks used to get the job done.. the paddy wagons were never padded either.. or had seat belts..

sounds like he got a rough ride .. he was not secured and probably hit some potholes or who knows and ended up either jamming his neck or ??

No Flames Here!

Even police are human, some inhumane as a few get portrayed.. emotions run hot when it comes to noncompliant detainees.
