What about the misconduct that led to the victims demise? Everyone of these so called victims had lengthy records of criminal behavior prior to their end.......fix the problem of their lawlessness and none of this comes to this ending, you can't blame the ending while allowing and condoning what brought them there to begin with, their desire to continually break the law's without reprocussions.......and here we are blaming the police for thugs breaking the law.
What about their misconduct? That is for the courts to decide not from officer's doing the arrest. You love the constitution I take it, what happened to innocent until proven guilty? I guess you don't support that, because as far as I know there wasn't a warrant out for his arrest, he just ran, which many black people do knowing our justice system.
But that isn't the point, what these officers did, was not only with the extreme physical abuse by severely damaging his spinal cord and dragging him to the van, but they continued to feel justified in their actions, to cause more punishment by throwing him into the wagon while he was screaming and wincing in pain.
To make matters worse he was than loaded into a police wagon that made
six stops in West Baltimore before it arrived at the Western District police station, where Mr. Gray was found unresponsive and not breathing, with a devastating spinal cord injury.
He finally made it to the hospital, only to die at 25, an entire life ahead of him, do you think people don't make mistakes and correct their lives, because they do. My question to you, how do you justify this behavior, and don't expect more from our officers, to do their job and not be judge and jury to a person who's only crime at that time was that he ran away and if he had done something there were correct protocol and procedures for them to follow.
When the police are allowed to do whatever they want and are vigilante's in uniform, we've lost all control.
