Six members of the proletariat are being sacrificed at the altar of ONLY BLACK LIVES MATTER based on an inconclusive cause of death. The only reason they are being sacrificed is because (a) Mr. Gray was black and (b) criminal Baltimore rioted. If Mr. Gray had been white no one would ever have heard of the arrest. He would only been a statistic in the Baltimore County Vital Records office.
So & 3 of them were white. So what's the point? They all deserve punishment.
The point is, all the violence and looting was because the cops were supposed to have been white, killing another black guy.
Also, they deserve punishment only if they are guilty. They have been charged without any evidence, which is not the way our system is supposed to work. But the Mayor refused to call for a grand jury investigation. They are assumed guilty, with no evidence whatsoever! But, that doesn't seem to bother anybody.
That someone can't see that what you just wrote illustrates exactly why this isn't about the race of the officers is certainly an illustration of complete stupidity.
Imagine that each time there was an arrest, where the arrestee sustained an injury, black people destroyed a city. That's not only stupid, it's nuts.
I think you mean, "what would be tragic is if an arrested person were just left to the police lynch mob to have their way with him/her, facts or due process be damned!"
Another example of why what you think is without merit, at least on this subject.
That is what the black prosecuting attorney said in the charges that were filed. One cop, Caesar R. Goodson Jr., was charged with murder. Here is his picture:
There is something wrong with this whole scenario. Something is fishy. Why would cops become involved with such a thing, after Ferguson, and the other case (I'm having a memory lapse here). It just doesn't seem possible that they would be so stupid.

How about the fact that Gray died and the Baltimore PD has a history of giving "rough rides", resulting in millions of dollars in lawsuit settlements?
If this is about "only black lives matter", what about the lives of the three black officers charged?
Presumably the facts will come out in court and the guilty, if there are any, will be identified and the innocent will be exonerated.
Is there a perception that a detained person who sustains any type of injury while in custody has an opportunity to win the I'm a victim lottery?
"But now a prisoner who allegedly witnessed Mr Gray’s ride to a Baltimore police station claims he “was intentionally trying to injure himself” in the van."
