This is not good.

The clincher for me that the 'riots' were staged at least in part:
The deputy commissioner also revealed a new detail that raises still more questions about what the officers involved have told investigators: He said the van carrying Gray to the police station made a previously undisclosed stop that was captured on video by a "privately owned camera."
A grocery store owner told The Associated Press later Thursday that it was his closed-circuit security camera that provided the recording. Speaking in Korean, Jung Hyun Hwang said officers came in last week to make a copy, and that the only other copy was stolen, along with his video equipment, when looters destroyed his store Monday night.
He told the AP that he didn't see what the recording showed of the police van on April 12.
Pretty convenient that the cops have the only copy now......

I wonder if any of those businesses looted or destroyed happened to capture where that police van went or did when it was transporting freddie gray.

I dont think police started a riot, just to destroy a video that may or may not show anything.

I have a friend who has a blast explaining how we faked the moon landing. He doesn't believe a word of it, but he loves to tell it.

I don't think that the pigs started it either.....but take advantage of it, yes.
