Prisoner Was Wrong: Freddie Gray Didn’t Kill Himself

Someone leaked a police document to the Washington Post claiming Gray was trying to hurt himself inside a police van—minutes after he asked for medical assistance.

Before the second prisoner was even in the police van, Freddie Gray asked the police for medical assistance.

So you have to wonder why on earth a man who had just asked for help would then try to hurt himself—as the second prisoner supposedly concluded after he was picked up at the next stop a few minutes later.

The opinion of the second prisoner is reportedly contained in a search-warrant application prepared by a police investigator and now leaked to The Washington Post.

Somebody leaked the sealed document for a reason, just as the police were preparing to turn over the results of their investigation to the Baltimore state’s attorney. There is nothing to stop the Baltimore Police Department from also publicly disclosing its major findings, as it largely did after its initial investigation soon after Gray’s death. The only significant detail the BPD added on Thursday while announcing its probe was complete was that private security video indicated the van had made an additional, previously unreported stop.

But what the police have already disclosed is enough to suggest why the second prisoner might have believed Gray was trying to hurt himself—and why he was almost certainly mistaken. After the stop where he asked for medical assistance and medical assistance was denied to him, Gray seems to have resumed signaling his need for help by the only means available—by banging on the inside of the van.

1. Police departments are known to spread FUD or Disinfo that is quickly picked up and regurgitated

by RW blogs, facebook pages and media who take everything that the Police say (especially when it comes to abuse against Blacks) as gospel.

2. Batts confirmed that the van stopped twice along the way..

this lying asshole. we already know there was another stop, captured on a privately owned camera, that the police failed to report.

3. A bunch of horse crap

"So you have to wonder why on earth a man who had just asked for help would then try to hurt himself"

Because the police are full of it and are doing everything they can to paint a picture that a man had his spine 80% severed and his voicebox destroyed somehow did it to himself while handcuffed.

You would have to be born under a rock to believe that story!
