No.HOWEVER, apparently in earlier testimony the same prisoner said it was silent for the 5-10 minutes he was in the van. Seems there's some discrepancy perhaps brought on by intimidation tactics, be that tactic a carrot or a stick, toward the extra prisoner.

Except as was pointed out to me in another thread, assault could mean something as essentially benign as spitting on someone, even if it lands on clothing as opposed to an open wound that could become infected, :eyeroll: And a drug dealer could be the really nice 26yo that shares his mj with me since I actually need it medical reasons though I am not a CA resident and can't get an mmj card, he could. So he got one, buys for me, and really rarely smokes. Not a "drug dealer" by most standards, but could be arrested and charged thusly.
Oh Jeez.
These riots are virtually NOTHING to do with this guy.
Just like the Ferguson riots were next to nothing to do with that incident.
These riots are about poverty and hopelessness...not police brutality.
Surely you people cannot be naive enough to believe that the only place there are bad cops are in these two areas? Or that these cops are SO much worse then every, single city/town in ALL of America? There are bad firefighters in every city - along with bad chefs, bad taxi drivers, bad garbage men and bad cops.
And there are more bad cops in poor areas...well DUH. When you deal with the worst society has to offer, the you are going to get frustrated/corrupt police....again, duh. Police are human, not robotic.
And remember, the Ferguson cop was exonerated. Which proves that the incident in question was a excuse for violence, not the cause of it.
When the poor, middle class and the rich march together, then it's about terrible cops. When it's just the poor, it's mostly about poverty.
Finally, rioters are just idiots and thugs who are dying to lash out and the riot gives them the green light.
You think some decent person is going to riot because some cop did something bad to someone they never heard of before the incident? Of course not.
The entire Baltimore riot is, IMO, 90% poverty and 10% (at most) bad cops.

Yes, and OJ Simpson is a really nice guy who was just trying to see how sharp his knife was.
It's remarkable how many little angels get in trouble with police. I suppose only the truly evil walk free among us.
One shouldn't have to be angel to not be abused by the police. And since we know that police will shoot people in the back, it's not unreasonable to suspect that some of the charges or the degree of charges are trumped up. I'm sorry, I have absolutely no faith in the the honesty of police, particularly when they can legally lie during an investigation but no one else can.
I feel sorry for you and those who think like you - it makes your life so much more difficult and stressful. I have zero attitude towards police and as a result I've had nothing but professional experiences when dealing with them. But then, I also respect the laws that have been established by the society in which I live, so that makes it easy not to "cop" an attitude. And those laws I don't like? I work the system to try to change them - I don't just ignore and/or break them.
*snort*
Okay....
Let's not let the truth get in the way of a good riot.
That is a ridiculous statement, especially as this was known about from the beginning.I wonder what plea deal he was offered to say this?
It never seizes to amaze me that everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt, and all are to be innocent until proven guilty, except for cops.
Prisoner in van said Freddie Gray was ‘trying to injure himself,’ document says
BALTIMORE — A prisoner sharing a police transport van with Freddie Gray told investigators that he could hear Gray “banging against the walls” of the vehicle and believed that he “was intentionally trying to injure himself,” according to a police document obtained by The Washington Post.Prisoner in van said Freddie Gray was

Maybe folks were to quick to blame police.
This has been known from the beginning.It's an interesting time for that to come out. Quite convenient.

Why are there no cameras recording the back of the prisoner transport? Regardless, it was a pending investigation, the riot of course jumped the gun, these things tend not to be intelligent as much as they are predatory.
This has been known from the beginning.
This reporter was just given the leaked affidavit to confirm it.
I heard there are GPS transponders on those Vans.
The speed and the route can be accessed after the fact. So it would be fairly easy to see whether or not they even had time to pull over, jump in the back of the Van and break his neck.
Bingo. The gullible desperately grasping onto any scenario that fits their agenda.I do not believe it is possible to break your own neck by slamming your head against a wall nor collapsing your own throat when handcuffed.
There are millions of dollars, prosecutions of police, and probably lost higher-up jobs, plus riots to deal with. In short, I do not believe he broke his own neck and collapsed his own throat.
But you tell me how a handcuffed person in the immediately presence of police could break his own neck and collapse his own throat if you want to believe that. It's as believable as claiming someone shot themselves in the back of the head 3 times. I think making this explanation is just going to piss people off even more.
It is interesting to see how quickly two members who claim people who are arrested lie, but absolutely believe this prisoner as if the edict from God himself.
You could, though it doesn't mean that they'd be completely innocent, at best you can say they didn't physically assault him to death with their fists in the back of the van.
Bingo. The gullible desperately grasping onto any scenario that fits their agenda.
Riot first, ask questions later.
At best you could prove that people jumped the gun.
You could prove that people on the left and the Obama administration are feeding this narrative. " Black Lives matter ", only when there's a assumption that they were murdered by the Police.
Killed by Gang violence ? Nah, nothing to protest about.
Now every inner city is one assumption away from a full blown riot.
" Hands up dont shoot "....indeed they are.
