The truth about Freddie Gray's 'pre-existing injury from car accident' [FR mentioned]
The Baltimore Sun ^ | April 29, 2015 | Mark Puente and Doug Donovan

Online reports are swirling that Freddie Gray had spinal surgery shortly before he died in police custody, and had collected a payout in a settlement from a car accident. Those reports — which raise questions about the injury that led to his death in April 19 — point to Howard County court records as proof.

But court records examined Wednesday by The Baltimore Sun show the case had nothing to do with a car accident or a spine injury. Instead, they are connected to a lawsuit alleging that Gray and his sister were injured by exposure to lead paint.

My email regarding the edit

Edit to remove Free Republic reference

I see that you have done this. But there is no mention, that I can see, that it IS edited - the time stamp is the same as when it was originally posted.

Man up.

That’s called propaganda you’re posting.

It’s a news story with cited facts. You need to reconsider your definition of propaganda.

No it’s not and yes there is. You didn’t even lift a finger to verify. Took me all but 3 minutes.

“Christine Abbot and her lawyer Stephen Norman discuss their lawsuit alleging Baltimore police drove aggressively during 2012 arrest.”

There, direct accusations from the plaintiff.

“that’s how former Baltimore police officer Charles J. Key described such long, slow rides to the police station five years ago in lawsuit by relatives of Dondi Johnson Sr., who was left a paraplegic after a 2005 police van ride and died two weeks later, according to the Baltimore Sun. The family won a $7.4 million verdict.

thers who have won judgments after similarly wild van rides, the Sun reports, included a man who was left paralyzed from the neck down, and a 27-year-old woman who worked as an assistant librarian at the Johns Hopkins University.

“Undue Force,” a special Sun report last September found more than 100 people who have won court judgments or settlements totaling about $5.7 million since 2011 related to allegations of false arrests, false imprisonment and excessive force.”

Oh, when called out and proven wrong you’re just going to resort to dissembling?

Where is my proof? You must have missed the part when the Baltimore Police Chief admitted on television that Gray was not wearing seat restraints when given his ride.

Why are you even posting about it? You’re too lazy to go research the subject for yourself so obviously you don’t care enough for a thoughtful discussion.
