Freddie Gray case: Charges dropped against remaining officers

Baltimore prosecutors on Wednesday dropped all charges against the three remaining officers facing trial in connection with Freddie Gray's death.

Gray, 25, died after sustaining a neck injury while in police custody in April 2015. Three of the six officers charged in the case had already been acquitted.

Gray's death became a symbol of the black community's mistrust of police and triggered days of protests and riots in Baltimore. The city became a focal point of the Black Lives Matter movement and the nationwide debate on excessive police force.

I knew none of these officers were going to be found guilty. I do not hold Ms. Mosby at fault like this but I'm tired of seeing cops like these guys get off scott free
