What the media is not telling folks is are the numerous drug trafficking arrests that Grey has had plus his medical history. He apparently sued an insurance company or two and had a structured settlement from Allstate.
Yes, I heard about some of that.
However, I don’t see how Gray’s jail time will matter in court. This particular arrest is reportedly without cause. He was apparently arrested by sight of him, without warrant. The leaks and stories keep changing.
This looks bad for the cops because there is an appalling and total lack of evidence that supports their account, so far. No cameras in the van. Film shows what looks like to me anyway, as agony for Gray in the scuffle during arrest. This before he was even inside the van.
What happened inside the van sounds worse. The arresting cops may not have even realized he was seriously injured, maybe, maybe, they thought he was pretending. They said it was rage. Didn’t look like rage to me. He appeared to be agonized.
A DJ for a black Pittsburgh radio station tweeted the list of Gray’s drug convictions, and was suspended. Apparently the station’s mostly black audience did not like the truth and came down on him like a ton of bricks.
