Freddie Gray among many suspects who do not get medical care from Baltimore police

[UglyGreed]

When Baltimore State's Attorney Maryliyn Mosby charged six police officers in the death of Freddie Gray, she said they had ignored Gray's pleas for medical care during his arrest and a 45-minute transport van ride.

Records obtained by The Baltimore Sun show that city police often disregard or are oblivious to injuries and illnesses among people they apprehend — in fact, such cases occur by the thousands.

From June 2012 through April 2015, correctional officers at the Baltimore City Detention Center have refused to admit nearly 2,600 detainees who were in police custody, according to state records obtained through a Maryland Public Information Act request.

In those records, intake officers in Central Booking noted a wide variety of injuries, including fractured bones, facial trauma and hypertension. Of the detainees denied entry, 123 had visible head injuries, the third most common medical problem cited by jail officials, records show.

1. Justice

Police are to arrest those who break the law and then allow the courts to decide punishment. When the accused are imprisoned they become the responsibility of the state and should be treated with care. I find it appalling that some people think it OK to murder those who may or may not have a record. That is not Justice that is murder.
