Okay, I missed the two assault charges. But in my original post I noted it wouldn’t matter if he was arrested for multiple homicides. Was it the job of the police to punish him before he was taken in? They were just making it easier for some lawyer to get him off, and endangering other people’s. (If that is what they did.)
Other than the original video of the arrest where one of the cops had his knee on Gray's neck, there is no evidence the police 'punished' him in any way.
They did have to stop and put him in leg cuffs because he wouldn't stay in the SEAT. The other person who was in the back of the van says that the ride was smooth, he wasn't jostled around, and he did not see the cops do anything to Gray other than put him in leg cuffs.
