Freddie Gray not injured during arrest, head struck bolt in back of van
BALTIMORE: The Baltimore man whose death in police custody sparked protests and riots was killed when his head slammed into a bolt in the back of a police van he was riding in – and he was not injured during the arrest itself, a new report said Thursday. SOURCE
Well, I wonder how this is going to work out for those Ghetto Rats that want Freddie Gray to be given instant sainthood?
Violent protests, rioting, burning and destruction of personal and public property in Baltimore, New York City, Philadelphia and of course in Ferguson, Missouri, all to show their *love and support* for Gray and to express their anger at Police Officers that, as it turns out, were only doing their job by arresting a *street thug* drug dealer with a LONG rap sheet. The way I see it, they owe Baltimore one FREE pass on another riot.

Freddie Gray was NOT a good man; he was not an upstanding citizen or a community leader that was working hard to change things for the better or to help children avoid the life choices that he, Freddie Gray, had made, life choices that ultimately caused his death, Freddie Gray was a 2-bit street hustler, dope head and dope dealer.
As it stands right now there *may* be some *civil* responsibility that could come into play; was Gray secured in the transport wagon, why was there a *bolt* protruding from said vehicle that could cause serious bodily injury or death, things of that nature.
I’m sure that an ACLU attorney will find some culpability to use as grounds to sue the Baltimore Police Department, but I am also pretty sure that charges of murder or negligent homicide are OFF the table.
Some will say, ‘why didn’t the Baltimore PD know that the bolt was sticking out and do something to fix it?’
Well, most Cops never see the INSIDE of the Paddy Wagon.
I wonder if the *air head* Mayor of Baltimore, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake will be held accountable for her lack of ANY early response and her “give them a space to destroy” stupidity?
The truth shall set you free…..so they say except in Ferguson Mo as we all witnessed.. The truth in Baltimore will no doubt go down as it did in Ferguson….
The truth will go down as a Police Cover-up. Race-baitor Sharpton will see to that.
So again the truth will mean zilch… It’s unfortunate but it seems no one cares about the truth Officers are now judged on perception…
Education plus the lack of education equals chaos. The obviously liberal/progressive mayor of Baltimore is a product of Marxist university professors. She stood by rev. Al and together they made a press conference into a bash the police argument about the injustice department taking over the rights of the states. How anarchist is that? WE THE PEOPLE are just now seeing what a mob with a voice in the media can do. Isn’t it great to know that Jade Helm 15 is happening at such a convenient time. Pre planned or coincidence?
Just another “gentle giant” whose JV resume is even filled with more of his Eagle Scout behavior.
I was driving to work listening to the radio where a woman was reading the charges against the police officers. I figured she was some “protest” leader as she had glee in her voice as she read the charges and how she was going to get justice for Freddie and promised his family justice. They they announced she was the State’s Attorney for Baltimore. I then thought there’s no way they’re going to allow a fair trial for these officers.
With all this evidence that shows Freddie Gray was likely culpable in his own death, why are the police officers being charged with murder?
The short answer is because the liberal black community needs someone to blame besides Freddie Gray and the officers are the easiest to target.
About the bolt. I knew a stevedore, black fellow, at a port city on the Gulf Coast in the ’50’s. His name was Charlie (know last name but leave off). In a barroom fight he got shot in the head with a .38 special. The slug traveled around his skull underneath the scalp and exited the entre hole. He was fine.
Guess they don’t make them that way no more.
(That’s the short story of it. Longer story interesting, but Charlie been long gone now and not available for Al Sharpton interview.)
