The Bullshit Squad is already on the case spreading false rumors on the internet about Freddie Gray.

This one popped up twice in my Facebook feed yesterday. It's so new that Snopes currently lists it as "Undetermined" but the facts are so preposterous that I believe it will likely be listed as "False" once the investigative report officially comes out.

Basically, whoever was spreading this rumor claimed that Gray had a pre-existing spinal injury and had spinal surgery a week (!) before his death.

Because people who just had major spinal surgery are able to run around freely and without pain, you see.

Idiots.

Does it even matter when there are videos out there that show that Mr. Gray's leg (s) were limp and dragging the pavement BEFORE he was tossed into the back of that van?

At least that's what my eyes saw watching that video.

Jeez.......

hideously long-standing, but now common video, experience.

And about those rioters...lookee there...lock 'em up, even after they were not allowed to go home on their school buses/Metro...all were Closed Down By Police.

also they trot out his record. It's almost all drug related so the problem here is he was being harassed by the law for something that in most cases should be legal. There were two instances of violence which was also probably related to drugs in some way so legal drugs would mean a lot less violence and he would have likely had a clean record.
