Now I better understand your reply to my post. To clarify, I wasn't agreeing with the characterization of non-malice, simply agreeing that the cops let him bounce around in the van intentionally.

how do you not see malice? notadmblnd Apr 2015 #1
The malice is where they broke his neck and then left him unstrapped to rough ride him. bravenak Apr 2015 #2
I'm thinking the neck fracture was hairline intially.... FarPoint Apr 2015 #4
So, you see no malice in that? bravenak Apr 2015 #7
I think the rough ride was passive-aggressive. FarPoint Apr 2015 #10
No intent to harm through a violent drive, handcuffed with a broken neck? bravenak Apr 2015 #11
They didn't realize he had a neck injury. FarPoint Apr 2015 #15
So they ignore his pleas for medical assistance, then rough ride him. bravenak Apr 2015 #21
You seem hung up on the malice intent....I realize that is your position. FarPoint Apr 2015 #24
Malice was the word used in your op. bravenak Apr 2015 #25
