Black suspect dies after Baltimore cops break his spine in ‘brutal’ police beating
Freddie Gray had to undergo a double surgery on three broken vertebrae and an injured voice box on Tuesday, after he was released by the police. He died today after days of remaining in a coma.
The 27-year old was arrested last week for an undisclosed violation. The police said that he was restrained on the ground by an officer during the arrest, but appeared to be fine when he was taken to the district station. However, a cell phone video shows that the arresting officers used force that some may seen as “brutal.”
So, to summarize, cops beat a black man until his spine was broken and he died in a coma.
I think there's little else to add.
Oh... get this:
The case is pending a review by a “blue-ribbon” panel commissioned by the police.
I wonder how this will turn out......
The alleged offending officers have been given cushy desk jobs while 'justice' is pursued by this blue-ribbon collective of impartial law enforcement entities.
Meanwhile, please be assured that cops aren't out of control or focusing on black men.
No siree-bob.
