In Baltimore, they call it a rough ride. In Philadelphia, they had another
name for it that hints at the age of the practice a nickel ride, a
reference to old-time amusement park rides that cost five cents. Other
cities called them joy rides.
.
The slang terms mask a dark tradition of police misconduct in which
suspects, seated or lying face down and in handcuffs in the back of a
police wagon, are jolted and battered by an intentionally rough and bumpy
ride that can do as much damage as a police baton without an officer
having to administer a blow.
.
The exact cause of the spinal injury that Freddie Gray, 25, sustained
while in police custody in Baltimore before his death April 19 has not
been made clear. The police have said that he was not strapped into a
seatbelt, a violation of department policy. That has led some to wonder
whether he was deliberately left unbuckled, reminiscent of a practice that
while little known has left a brutal, costly legacy of severe injuries and
multimillion-dollar settlements throughout the country.
.
A lawyer for the Baltimore police union and news reports Thursday focused
on Mr. Grays ride in the back of the van after his arrest by Baltimore
officers on April 12. Our position is something happened inside that van,
the lawyer, Michael E. Davey, said at a news conference last week. We just
dont know what.
.
Determining exactly how Mr. Gray was injured will be a focus of the
investigation. Even if it happened in the van, it does not necessarily
point toward an intentional rough ride, a ritual experts said was at least
several decades old. I never saw it, but Ive heard about it, said Bernard
K. Melekian, the undersheriff of Santa Barbara County, Calif., and a
former director of the Justice Departments community-oriented policing
office. My sense was that that kind of behavior had long been gone.
