Anybody get the feeling they slammed on brakes because they wanted him to slam into the wall?!?! Maybe they didn’t mean for him to die but it was probably deliberate. Because cops you know need to know how to drive.

I learned the term "rough ride" from what the Baltimore PD did to Freddie Grey. It's when you cuff somebody in the back and don't strap them in, all cops know this is illegal.

IIRC learning about this incident. The cop driving was observed playing with his cell, driving aggressively, road raging, etc. Everything is on cameras in the police van, body cams and jail cams. Its why they hate the cameras.

The Baltimore police had a little bit of a learning curve when it came to body cams. The prerecord buffer caught them planting evidence a few times

Baltimore cops did this to Freddie Gray. Handcuffed him in the back, intentionally didn't buckle him up and drove a circuitous route to the station and doubtlessly drove needlessly agressive. Freddie died in the back of the van as a result of their cruelty and sadism.

All officers involved got off, the one or two pigs who went to trial were shamefully qcquitted. Meanwhile the BPD went on a wildcat work stoppage and let crime run rampant to show their displeasure at even the idea they could be held accountable for police brutality.

Money is a big motivator right? It seems like a cop with a story of systemic abuse would have published a book by now. Granted they would be totally fucked as far as being a cop but for a big payday? Well I guess they might have to implicate themselves in the process. Any thoughts?!

Oh they show you how they drive, alright. Like children with keys to an unsupervised ATV in the middle of the night
