I do think that some media look at Democratic Underground for leads, then whoever sees a story will do more research on a problem and report it..Perhaps Thom Hartman, Ed Shultz, or Rachael sees this (or their staff) and does a report. Perhaps then it will get wider coverage......

.. So, that is how the reasonably healthy prisoner Freddy Gray became the dead person Freddy Gray ....and some of the rioters probably or perhaps are survivors of such rides..sounds like a terrorizing experience..meant to be by the cops..

The cops decided to give their captor...a rough ride..turned bad...and the cops who drove that car knew what they were doing..murder.
