Today brings us new revelations. It seems that Kevin Moore, one of the two people who offered video evidence documenting police wrongdoings had a bit more to share.
Per Mr. Moore in the Baltimore Sun paper, police were a bit more hands on then originally revealed.

When a person uses a phrase like "folded him up like origami" this person may understand what transpired. Not what he THOUGHT happened, but what he Saw happen.
The FOP (Fraternal Order of Police) aka cops without sheets called the mostly peaceful protesters a lynch mob. Guess they would know, since lynching was and is the tool of the Klan. He stated that the public was in a rush to justice, that the police are innocent until proven guilty.
Yet, for every black body that is dead in the street, the judicial system has been replaced by those who lynch, by those who believe if you are black, by God they have the right to take your life.
For all the defenders - you are useless and brain dead. If every person with a record was killed by police, seems a lot of white bodies would be in the street. Yet, when dealing with white people with guns, white students rioting over a fucking sports game, white people in general, POLICE show an awful lot of restraint.
I wonder why?
Getting back to Freddie Gray. The more evidence we hear, it seems like a lot of force was used. It appears the damage was then excerbated by the ride in the cruiser. No doubt a rough ride. Bravo and well done, BCPD! You have officially hit the big times. As a writer, I would have thought that they could have come up with a better story. Guess creativity is not what they are paid for. Terrorizing and brutalizing is how their salaries are calculated.
I hope they enjoy their paid vacations. Not betting a single one of them will leave this debacle unscathed. Pay they will - one way or another.
To add more fuel to this fire, police in West Baltimore have terrorized the citizens there for decades. Note: I said CITIZENS.
I have witnessed police walking down an entire block, in broad daylight telling people they cannot sit outside on their steps. How would you feel if this happened to you? "Go inside your home or you will be arrested" the police ordered. Sitting, on your steps, while black has been determined to be a criminal activity in the eyes of the Western District. Like many disbelievers, just being black is enough reason for a person to be suspected of criminal activity.
Since this is the hot topic, I am sure this won't be the last post. And, like everything I write, this is my opinion, based on what I have actually seen. Not on Fox, MSNBC or any other "TV" station. Just living life - while black in Baltimore.
Thanks for reading!
Peace out...
