It sounds like the cops threw Gray into the back of the police van and
took him for a wild ride without benefit of
a seat belt. During the ride Gray was bounced around and struck his
head on a bolt in the truck which may be the cause of his broken neck.
The preliminary autopsy report says his injuries are like those of being
in a car wreck.
That "wild ride" stuff is just bull****. He was injured when he was
taken down.
I thought so also initially based on the video that has been shown over
and over. However, if you watch closely at the end of it when he enters
the van, he appears to do so under his own power. He couldn't do that
with a broken neck.
Then, the cops stopped and checked on Gray finding him unconsciousness
and injured. Instead of calling for medical help right away, they
picked up another guy, put him in the van and drove normally, setting up
a possible alibi.
If the above is proven, indeed those responsible should be charged with
murder.
Those cops won't get convicted of anything beyond negligence, unless one
or more cop a plea, or the trial is held in Baltimore, which is
unlikely.
As usual, the media is jumping the gun and misrepresenting the process.
The six cops have only been charged so far. They have not been
indited. That will happen after
they are arraigned and after a grand jury reviews the evidence.
My guess is that the charges will stick and most, if not all, will spend
the next 10-30 years in prison.
