Discussion: Conflicting Reports Emerge About Freddie Gray's Van Ride And Injury

Discussion for article #235866

You know, it’s incredibly hard to sever one’s own spine. I mean, incredibly difficult. However, the fact that the police ignored him being in pain just shows that it doesn’t matter. They were going to let him die anyway.

The extended torture of Gray by Baltimore police is just despicable.

He should have been transported to a hospital in an ambulance. But then police would have had to take responsibility for his injury.

There is a criminal coverup underway, it seems.

And crush their own larynx. It’s boggling to me that they are even trying to push this story. Who the hell is capable of doing that to themselves in an contained environment outside of a Marvel movie?

“The arrestee, whose name has not been publicly released, told investigators that he could hear…”

The arrestee, who was offered a deal on his charges if he said what he was told to say, told police investigators what they wanted to hear…

FIFY

Must be from the same cop that said this in an earlier case: “Stupid n*****! Stole more chain than he could swim with!”

Wonder if he fractured his own orbital bone too?

Surely our intrepid conservative reporters are on the case!

I am shocked, shocked and appalled, that TPM would be reporting on reporting that suggests that you can’t trust an anonymously sourced story that could only have come from a cop asserting the existence of an affidavit, handwritten by a cop, from an unidentified jailhouse informant claiming a man somehow managed to break his own neck and crush multiple vertebrae while in police custody, even though the jailhouse informant couldn’t possibly have seen the man, in question.

I ask you, if you can’t trust a jailhouse informant’s affidavit handwritten by a cop that purportedly exonerates a cop of criminal wrongdoing, what in this lonely, fallen world can you trust? Is nothing sacred? Is there nothing so obviously true that it is beyond the boundless cynicism of the liberal media? I mean, this affidavit was reported to exist in the pages of The Liberal Washington Post, for pete’s sake!

It makes me sad, very sad, to contemplate. I feel the need to be alone and weep bitter Brooksian tears of regret over our national loss of character.

Wait, his larynx was crushed too? I hadn’t heard that yet. That truly puts this whole attempt to claim he committed “suicide by van” into the realm of theater of the absurd. And the fact that I hadn’t heard that part yet is about as disgusting of an indictment of the MSM as could possibly exist.

I’m sticking with this: Kid mouthed off and was kicking at the walls or whatever, so they made an unscheduled stop, strangled the shit out of him in a fit of rage to shut him up and put him in his place, and in the process “accidentally” severed his spinal cord. They should be walking the Green Mile.

Ya THINK?

Oh, for those bygone days of yore when police were at least competent enough to concoct a remotely plausible lie.

Sadly yes. Although, I’ve seen a few claims that , that particular injury was the result of a previous accident as well. Apparently this man was only being held together by band-aids before he ran into BPD.

If Gray wanted to commit suicide why would he ask for medical assistance? Also, I don’t see how he strangled himself and than hit his head to break his spine. Did he break his spine before he strangled himself or strangled himself than broke his spine? Wow it amazes me how a person that was as small as this man looks could have done so much damage to himself in less than 5 minutes which was the time the other prisoner got into the van until they pulled up at the final stop.

This is the most obvious lie I have ever seen pushed on the American Public. Its amazing how little the TV news is pushing back on this. Which makes the chance of them getting away with it all the better.

Interesting because whenever I hear someone banging on a wall, the first thing I think is, “Gosh, they MUST be trying to injure themselves!” I pretty much never think, “Hmm, knocking. Maybe that knocking person wants out of that room?” Nope, much more logical that all wall-banging be interpreted as attempts at self-injury. Yep.
