BALTIMORE Six police officers have been suspended and officials said
Monday that they were changing police procedures as they investigated the
death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man who was rushed to the
hospital with a severed spinal cord after being chased and tackled by
officers.
.
With the city on edge after days of protests that continued Monday
evening, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and Police Commissioner Anthony W.
Batts appeared at a news conference and appealed for continued calm. Mr.
Batts said the Police Department would wrap up its inquiry on May 1,
though investigators said they still do not understand precisely how or
when Mr. Gray was injured.
.
We have no evidence physical, video or statements of any use of force,
the deputy police commissioner, Jerry Rodriguez, said at the news
conference. He did suffer a very tragic injury to his spinal cord, which
resulted in his death. What we dont know, and what we need to get to, is
how that injury occurred.
.
Mr. Gray died Sunday, a week after his arrest. Witnesses captured parts of
his encounter with the police on a cellphone video, in which screams can
be heard as officers drag him into a transport van. An autopsy showed no
wounds, except for the severed spinal cord, and the videos do not show the
police acting forcefully.
.
Mr. Batts, however, conceded that officers had been slow to recognize that
Mr. Gray, who apparently had asthma, needed medical attention; before he
was put in the van, he asked for his inhaler, which he did not have with
him.
.
We should have probably asked for paramedics sooner, the commissioner
said. He added that his department had already begun changing policies
governing the transport of suspects, and the care of people who require
medical attention while in police custody.

.
Mr. Grays family has not spoken in public. But the lawyer for the family,
William Murphy Jr., has disputed the police account and accused the
authorities of trying to cover up their actions.
.
Theres a lot of missing information, Mr. Murphy said in an interview,
adding that he was still awaiting medical records, a copy of the autopsy
report and officers audio transmissions.
