Grey has 25 prior arrests for drug possession..let me repeat that; 25 PRIOR ARRESTS FOR DRUG POSSESSION!!!! Why the hell is this guy walking around free on the strret?
Maybe none of his crimes warranted life behind bars or the death penalty...
Know what else would have prevented all this? if the police had followed the laws themselves instead of tossing him into a van head first and unrestrained while shackled at his hands and feet so he could roll around all over the place until his spine breaks. The majority of people aren't allowed to ride anyone even sitting upright unrestrained in a car, let alone the way this man was treated. It matters not one bit what he had in his system, there is no drug that can sever your spinal cord, lol.
Know what else could have prevented this? If the cops had done what the law requires of them and gotten the man medical help when he said he needed it rather than 45 minutes later.
I don't get why so many seem to hold cops to a lower standard than so-called "thugs"...it's okay for cops to break the law if it helps them take down people who are breaking the law..is that about it?
When that van picked up Freddie..he was a SHORT trip down the Street to the Police Station..But nope..That van took a zig baggy trip which took 45 minutes to complete with 5 stops in between....The driver knew Freddie was NOT secured in the back of his van and asked repeated for officers to secure him..Rather than leg shackles which got video taped at first stop..he was thrown into compartment onto his stop totally vulnerable during that 40 + minute van ride!
The plot isn't thickening; the wheels in the head of a certain type of person is just working overtime in an attempt to undervalue a lost black life. We've seen white supremacy attempt to justify the unjustifiable time after time. It's not going to work this time...

All lives matter.
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.

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.
You know what would've prevented all of this? If he had lived like a law abiding citizen like the majority of people.
And plenty of law abiding citizens can be suspected of crimes they didn't commit. And that could very well be you one day. What if your car matches a description? Or your height/weight/hair color, etc?
It doesn't matter if you're law abiding at that point or not, because they will do anything they can to build a case against you including lying their blue butts off both to you and about you.
I thought the van GPS' has been reported and shows no excessive speeding or abrupt braking to indicate the passengers would have been jostled about. There is a lot still to this case. Folks riot for other reasons. There usually are long simmering issues which on incident, right or wrong, erupts.
We had loads of police shootings of blacks in Miami a few years ago but there were no disturbances. Even the FBI stepped in and two officers were fired.

Wait until trial, that's when the evidence that matters will come out. The stories spun by the S.A. are not the whole truth and nothing but the truth either..... I'd bet there's nuggets of truth to all the stuff coming out right now.
So there...
How could a convicted felon legally carry a knife? Maybe Maryland laws are different.
