You're joking right? Or, you decided to pick and choose? There were many instances where he was charged with the intent to distribute. The majority of the 'controlled dangerous substance' listings never elaborated on 'what' type of substance it was, only two listings report marijuana. One listing showed "intent to manufacture"--just guessing, but the substance that he was intending to manufacture was probably not pot (meth, or something similar, maybe?)

so what? As far as I know none of those carry a death penalty...
From one cop: The toxicology report shows Freddie had Heroine and Pot in his system when arrested. This is important given what is now being said about the reason Freddie was arrested which was that officers saw him doing a suspected drug deal (exchanging a small package for cash) in an area known for drug sales and when they went to confront both Freddie and the buyer they both ran in different directions.
When Freddie was caught he didn't have any drugs on him (surprise,surprise) so they listed other reasons for probable cause.
The officer went on to say that in that area when drug dealers are confronted they either run and toss the drugs or swallow the drugs.
Now if you look back to what Freddie (alleged) was found to have in his system at the time that lends credence to the idea he ate his own drugs to avoid a drug arrest and this alone could have led to his death.
Skinny, frail, sickly black guy makes eye contact with a cop, takes off running, pursued by three cops, while running removes the heroin AND weed from their respective baggies (or whatever), and swallows it all whole, again while running. Manages to discard the baggies without any of the three pursuing cops seeing him do so, else they would have retrieved them as evidence.

Don't forget he had Spine surgery a couple of weeks ago too, and has "fell off the wagon" on top of that.

Guess what? I was responding to someone who had said "mainly charges for possession Marijuana.....None of his charges were possession with intent pf dealing". I never stated in my post that any of it mattered in the way you describe, I was simply showing that poster where he was wrong.
And you do realize that 3 of the 6 officers are black? Including the one driving the van that Gray was bounced around in due to not being seat belted in as he should have been.
That would matter only if the argument was that white people were abusing black people. It's not, it's that the police as an institution seem to abuse black people, and that sadly enough includes black cops.
I just need to correct your bolded screaming...He was 25 years old...He did not have 25 drug arrests....he had 18 arrests and only a handful of actual charges sticking...Be that as it may..listening to the likes of Rush Limbic and Faux News will only fill your head with Police Union Spin machine running about 100 miles an hour to exonerate their union paying officers~~

Freddie Gray, the 25-year-old Baltimore man who died after being injured while in police custody, had a lengthy criminal record before his fatal run-in with police on April 12, 2015. He had previously been arrested at least 18 times and had been in and out of prison since 2008, court records show. According to the Washington Post, Gray was caught up in the drug trade, and many of the arrests were related to heroin or marijuana sales. Many of the arrests were what his attorney called "typical" for Baltimore, the Post reported, where police sweep in, arrest everybody and sort it out later.
Aside from the fact Rush himself is a drug addict who abused prescription drugs...yet that "white" collar crime doesn't seem to be considered a crime, as opposed to having relatively harmless pot in a black neighborhood is treated as a crime.

Who are supervised by a Black mayor,a Black police chief,and a Black District attorney.
Wait until pretrial discovery when the leaks will be flying fast and furious and then trial which I'm sure will be televised so the world can see either the prosecution go down in flames (and then the city....again) or a conviction is gained.
If the prosecution fails what will be the claim then?
Hmmmm?
