3. I got a bridge and a couple of monuments for you if you believe that one.

That's even more unbelievable than Nixon's "I am not a crook"

[dixiegrrrrl]

17. Guess the other 3 guys who died of the same thing in a police van did to themselves.

But that would not explain why Baltimore paid out millions in the subsequent lawsuits.

6. The report:

Prisoner in van said Freddie Gray was ‘banging against the walls’ during ride

BALTIMORE — A prisoner sharing a police transport van with Freddie Gray told investigators that he could hear Gray “banging against the walls” of the vehicle and believed that he “was intentionally trying to injure himself,” according to an investigative document obtained by The Washington Post.

The prisoner, who is currently in jail, was separated from Gray by a metal partition and could not see him. His statement is contained in an application for a search warrant, which is sealed by the court. The Post was given the document under the condition that the prisoner not be named because the person who provided it feared for the inmate’s safety.

The document, written by a Baltimore police investigator, offers the first glimpse of what might have happened inside the van. It is not clear whether any additional evidence backs up the prisoner’s version.

Gray was found unconscious in the wagon when it arrived at a police station on April 12. The 25-year-old had suffered a spinal injury and died a week later, touching off waves of protests across Baltimore, capped by a riot Monday in which hundreds of angry residents torched buildings, looted stores and pelted police officers with rocks.

12. "A prisoner sharing a police transport van with Freddie Gray"...

Is Gonna Say ANYTHING The Police Want Him Too... If He Wants A Reduced Sentence.

Especially if he saw how they treated Gray.

[LiberalElite]

13. OF COURSE he was fucking banging against the walls

he wasn't strapped in with a seat belt! This is a violation of supposed department policy that nevertheless is done enough that it has a nickname - the Baltimore nickle ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who intentionally severs their own spine????

"What might have happened" Yeah what they're looking for is what we MIGHT believe.

P.S. Is that other prisoner looking for quid pro quo from the cops?

[riderinthestorm]

14. Getting thrown into the sides of the walls as they drove him unbuckled

[fadedrose]

7. OMFG - I can't believe that nt

8. It's probably wrong for me to post this in 2 threads within 5 minutes, but

it seems appropriate here.

11. Is it time to turn our backs on the uniform during the parades?

Or just forget about showing up all together?

[KMOD]

16. How are they going to explain his crushed larynx?

These people are freaking sickening.

18. who the hell is this Jane Miller on MSNBC' s

Lawrence o'donnell show? It sounded like she thinks the cellphone videos taken by bystanders, even their comments should be ignored(?) Because it doesn't tell the whole story?

Wow. Was anyone else watching and hear her say this?

I understand the need to investigate but to not give any validity to the videos?

21. After he threw himself from side to side crushing his spine, he grabbed his own throat and pressed

tightly. I can see how this is possible. Young black youth are inhumanly strong and vicious ...
