Freddy Gray had a pre-existing spinal and neck injury and had severe damage and scar tissue from an accident that Allstate Insurance was paying him a large structured settlement.
Freddy had several unsuccessful spinal fusion surgeries, he most recent spinal/cervical operation was a week and a half before he was arrested. Freddy should have been at home in bed resting and recovering from recent major operation instead of manufacturing and distributing drugs on the streets and resisting arrest.
Freddy has a criminal record pages long for manufacturing and
distributing controlled dangerous drugs that were cocaine crack
heroine etc. along with many assault charges, gun charges,
breaking and entering and the list goes on since he was 18
years old. (Juvenile records are sealed.) Look at some of this
on www.mdjudiciarycasesearch.
You will also see where he was trying to cash in his monthly
structured settlement for his spinal injury payments to one lump
sum through Peachtree Funding,
He could have easily fallen in the paddy wagon from the slippery bench to the floor or twisted his fused spine to reopen his recently fused damaged spine.
Also, the police that arrested him were also black, not white.
Why are people destroying their own homes and revenue when
they don't know the whole story?
Mostly because it's a good reason and timing to loot and get new shoes and stolen goods?
You got it!
None of the police officers that arrested Freddy had a history of police brutality.
Freddy was a dangerous career felon with a damaged spine
and neck that was supposed to be healing a week and a half
after surgery, not running the streets committing felonies and
resisting arrest.
