1. Am not sure what this clarifies beyond snitch status.

4. It clarifies what was reported as fact from the assumption of what this man meant...

This man told police, "He must have been banging his head" prior to any knowledge of Freddie's treatment by the police. He then overhead from police regarding Freddie, "We gave him a run for his money."

9. "We gave him a run for his money."

That would be 5 cents, wouldn't it?

11. Holy crap...

No, I never had heard it referred to that way until now.

2. How does the Coroner say he died? Is there any record of how long Gray was in the van?

Mr. Allen is difficult to understand as far as what he says he heard, in this interview at least.

One thing is quite clear, if Mr. Allen is an example of how worked up people feel about this Baltimore has much yet to answer for.

3. He couldn't walk to the van..

They dragged him to the van as he screamed in agony. The media keep saying he was injured in the van what happened before the clip we keep seeing..

[Enthusiast]

6. It looked to me like he couldn't hold his head up. He might have been partially paralyzed.

Just as with 9/11 they are expecting us to believe the unbelievable. Pay no attention to building # 7. Nothing to see here. Move along.

10. Exactly

He was subsequently tortured to death. This is heinous.

5. Anybody who says or believes the man who was in fucking agony

before they threw him in that death van
was going to try to bring himself even more agony
by banging his anything against anything
can burn in motherfucking hell.

7. +1

If they say that, they have an ulterior motive.
