The Freddie Gray Myth Lives On

..(Inside the article)..
What Happened on April 12, 2015
The Justice Department report documents that while patrolling an area notorious for its high volume of illegal drug sales, BPD bicycle patrol officers observed Gray, a known drug dealer and career criminal, standing on a corner. Gray made eye contact with the police and immediately fled on foot. Officers chased Gray, quickly apprehending him without incident. They handcuffed Gray, conducted a protective patdown search for weapons, and found an illegal switchblade knife in his pocket. Gray was placed under arrest.
The officers escorted Gray to a prisoner transport wagon and placed him inside to be taken to the Western District police station for processing. Gray was uncooperative. He had deliberately gone limp to impede the officers escorting him to the wagon. Now, he actively resisted and effectively prevented attempts to seat and secure him with a seatbelt. Once alone inside the vehicle, Gray started banging himself against the interior walls with such force that the wagon rocked.

The Same Lies, Then and Now.
Nevertheless, the “rough ride” narrative took hold, as did the story that officers brutalized and tased Gray in the back of the wagon. So Maryland’s governor and lt. governor perpetuate the lie that Gray “unjustly lost his life at the hands of police brutality.”
The Justice Department report determined, “The evidence in this matter overwhelmingly contradicted reports from some civilian witnesses that Gray was either tased or beaten by the officers.” It states: “The doctor who performed Gray’s autopsy and testified for the state concluded that there was no medical evidence indicating that Gray’s injuries were caused by excessive force during the arrest, and no medical evidence showing that Gray had been tased” (emphasis added).
BPD analyzed the tasers of every officer who had been on the scene and found that none had been deployed that day. One of the witnesses who originally claimed to have seen the police tase Gray, recanted that accusation during the trial. The Justice Department revealed that “. . . at least two civilian witnesses reported that they did not see any officer strike, punch, or kick Gray, and at least one such witness denied that officers placed Gray into the wagon forcefully.”
