1. Reminds of the white cop who did everything in his power NOT to shoot a white guy begging

to be shot, did you see that?

If that guy had been black, well, dead.

Check your assumptions about how every cop would obviously react to a white man vs black man.

...it's a double standard of use of force all across America, where black individuals are subject to disproportionately violent confrontations by law enforcement officers compared to non-blacks for similar offenses. That's certainly a good example of the restraint from officers the black community is asking for in many precincts around the nation.

New video, angle on #FreddieGray's death http://ow.ly/LYFN4

Another cell phone video gives new perspective in the arrest of Freddie Gray, the Baltimore man whose family said suffered a fatal spinal-cord injury after he was handcuffed and put in the back of a police van, reports CBS News correspondent

The new video, obtained by CBS Baltimore station WJZ, shows the police van, moments later, stopped a little more than a block from the arrest site.

Police say Gray was irate in the back of the van -- so they briefly removed him to put on leg irons.

The man who took the amateur video told police he saw it all.

"That man was in the f*****g wagon with cuffs on," he said.

8. So how come a civilian can point out the victim is broken apart and almost dead?

But all those cops could not tell? I hope they all rot in some prison somewhere, their actions caused their downfall.

FUCK rotten cops! Let them all rot away in some dungeon somewhere!
