Freddy should have been at home in bed resting and recovering from recent major operation instead of manufacturing and distributing drugs on the streets and resisting arrest. Freddy has a criminal record pages long for manufacturing and distributing controlled dangerous drugs that were cocaine crack heroine etc. along with many assault charges, gun charges, breaking and entering and the list goes on since he was 18 years old. (Juvenile records are sealed.) Look at some of this on www.mdjudiciarycasesearch. You will also see where he was trying to cash in his monthly structured settlement for his spinal injury payments to one lump sum through Peachtree Funding, He could have easily fallen in the paddy wagon from the slippery bench to the floor or twisted his fused spine to reopen his recently fused damaged spine. Also, the police that arrested him were also black, not white. Why are people destroying their own homes and revenue when they don't know the whole story? Mostly because it's a good reason and timing to loot and get new shoes and stolen goods? You got it! None of the police officers that arrested Freddy had a history of police brutality. Freddy was a dangerous career felon with a damaged spine and neck that was supposed to be healing a week and a half after surgery, not running the streets committing felonies and resisting arrest."

The website is a busted link. I've seen some blogs reporting this, but of course it hasn't been reported on CNN or any mainstream news outlet.

This is a game changer. If true, it proves the cops shouldn't be to blame for his death.

This would be another false narrative, like Michael Brown, where people blamed the police for the death of a black man.

I'd like to know, as the article reported, whether or not the arresting cops were black. Not that that would mean they intentionally hurt the man. But it will be interesting to see if the anti-white racist mob continues their "kill whitey" campaign if the arresting cops were black.

So no one wants to read the article I posted about a possible scenario for how is neck could be injured yet they wanna believe some blog post about a preexisting condition?

People are naturally skeptical because blacks so often cry wolf about non-existent racism. So naturally if and when they actually victims of racism, people ignore them.

They're both unproven. One is some fictional hypothesis shaded in bias against the police; the other is (at this time) an unproven claim shaded against Freddy Gray.

I read the fictional hypothesis. But it's just that. A guess. A scenario someone with an agenda made up to try and prove their preconceived, prejudiced bias against the police.

Snopes is saying the story isn't true.

They offer no definitive proof that it's not true. Basically they're saying that because these blogs are relying on sources, and there hasn't been a clear link or evidence to prove the claims, it's probably not true.

Well, you certainly can't say it is true without clear evidence. Anyway, more facts will come out and we will know more in time.

I agree.
