1. Gray was arrested illegally, for no reason.
2. Knife found on him after he was handcuffed was a legal weapon
3. He repeatedly asked for inhaler, and medical help
4. He was unsecured at all times during the entire van ride
5. At the third stop he was face down, unresponsive to female officer's inquires (unconscious) and neither she or any other officer helped or rendered aid (so when 2nd prisoner was picked up Gray was already unconscious and the noises the 2nd prisoner heard was his body banging about un buckled)
6. Multiple officers are being charged with kidnapping, homicide etc. (have to listen again for exact names and charges)

News media are covering their a**es by saying so much information put out by police this last week was false.

The glare of the media is just a bit too bright now for them to get away with business as usual.

people are saying 'violence changes nothing', 'violence' is what kept the media's attention focused on Baltimore after decades of ignoring the problem.

and tell what really happened.

That's too many charged for the truth not to come out.

I posted a link to a segment Don Lemon did on a national talk show yesterday. SUpposedly, he had spoken with a relative of one of the officers. She mouthed the usual "don't rush to judgement" line. What was interesting was that she said that she didn't want to see 6 officers go to jail for something that maybe 3 of them did.

If that's the case..1-They should have opened their mouths and 2- we just might see the pleas you referenced

until they were charged. Mug shots go a long way to loosen lips.
