I understand what you're saying, but again I respectfully disagree. From what I understand (correct me if I'm wrong) he wasn't arrested for a warrant, he was arrested because he ran. sure, one could ask the question why run, but one could also ask the question why not just stop, frisk, and interview him to see what's going on. Also, perhaps the most important question of all, why was so much force used against him, and why the lack of medical attention? IMHO, those are the main contributing factors of this riot.

Look at all those smiles on their faces. Sickening. There goes all the claims that the looting/burning/rioting is being done in response to frustration with the police.

Guerrero, 2014.

Given it was more targeted. They stuck to burning government buildings. There's also a lot more corruption in Mexico and of course the cartels which drive a lot of the violence.

There is already an investigation. There's no "murder", you just made that up. The rioters are having fun, laughing, texting and taking selfies as they loot and fight.

If I had a kid who was a criminal thug fighting with police, and he died while in police custody, I would be devastated, but I would not be burning down my neighborhood.
"According to his family, Gray's spine was "80% severed" at his neck, he had three fractured vertebrae, and his larynx was injured. The police claimed that Gray had experienced a "medical emergency" during his transport, but the events that led to the injuries are unclear. Officer Garrett Miller claimed that Gray was arrested "without force or incident."

Despite extensive surgery in an attempt to save his life, Gray died on April 19, 2015. Pending an investigation, six Baltimore police officers were temporarily suspended with pay. Police Commissioner Anthony Batts reported that the officers "failed to get [Gray] medical attention in a timely manner multiple times", and did not buckle him in the van while he was being transported to the police station."


I took this off of Wikipedia, but could have easily gotten it off of CNN or any of the major news stations. Yes, Nola, I lied. There was NO murder whatsoever. This was all just one horrible coindidence. You are absolutely, 100% right! His spine twisted itself on his ride in the van with the police.

What if it were your son? Oh, I'm sorry, you answered that.

If his rap sheet that is currently making its rounds on C-D is real, he should of already been in jail and none of this would of happened. I would of been locked up for years with a sheet like that, but I don't live in a place with overcrowded prisons either.

Oh, ok, I get it. He had a rap sheet. Having a rap sheet justifies murder. I never knew that.

Just by reading that it sounds like he received a blow to the back of the neck.
