One Month Later, Exposing Baltimore Police Lies
in the Death of Freddie Gray
Basically everything police said was either a lie or PR spin.

LIE: The arrest of Freddie Gray was lawful.
.
TRUTH: Everything about the arrest of Gray was unlawful.
.
Sadly, we will never fully understand what happened on April 12, because
Gray never spoke another word again after he emerged from the police van
that day and died one week later from his injuries.
.
The police claim, in their own timeline, that they chased and subdued Gray
(and another unnamed man), but never gave any legal reason for doing so
other than making eye contact with them.
.

.
1. The police themselves claimed to have found the knife after they
hadchased, caught and cuffed him.
.
snip
.
2. While officers contend that the knife was indeed a switchblade,
Prosecutor Marilyn Mosby and her team said strongly that it isn't. Either
way, the illegal pursuit and arrest took place before they found the
knife.
.
LIE: Officer Garrett Miller, under oath, stated in his initial police
report that Gray was arrested without force or incident. The report is
below.
.
snip
.
TRUTH: Nothing about this arrest was normal.
.
Witness Kevin Moore, who also filmed the arrest, said that police had
Freddie folded up like "a piece of origami" and that the "heels of his
feet were in his back" and that officers had their "knees on his neck" and
that Freddie was "asking for an inhaler" and "telling them he couldn't
breathe."
.
snip
.
TRUTH: Beyond being deliberately vague, at least five critical pieces of
information are missing from this misleading timeline.
.
1. Police claimed that at 8:46 AM they stopped the van to shackle Freddie
Gray because he was acting irate. However, in newly released videos taken
by a bystander at that stop, not only is Freddie not speaking, he's not
moving whatsoever. He's the opposite of irate.
.
snip
.
2. The police made another stop that they failed to mention and only
admitted to after a private security camera confirmed it. Deputy
Commissioner Kevin Davis admitted this in a press conference,
.
snip
.
3. In this video, police appear to be placing Freddie Gray on his stomach
in the back of the police van. Mind you, his legs are shackled and his
hands are cuffed behind his back. Beyond being against policy and protocol
because of how dangerous it is, Freddie had already, according to their
own timeline, communicated that he had asthma and could not breathe.
.
snip
.
4. At 8:59 a.m, during a stop, Freddie Gray told Officers Ceasar Goodson
and William Porter that he needed medical care but they did nothing.
.
snip
.
5. Officers Goodson, Porter, and now Alicia White all observed Gray
completely unresponsive at their fourth stop. Officer White spoke to Gray
and he did not respond.
.
snip
.
LIE: Police leaked to The Washington Post that the man arrested and placed
in the van behind a separate partition was a 38-year-old under protective
order who claimed Gray was deliberately trying to injure himself in the
van. They also claimed they couldn't reveal his identity.
.
TRUTH: Not only did the police blatantly lie about the identity of this
man, who turned out to be 22-year-old Donta Allen, he openly came out to
blast the lies in several interviews after the fact.
