So the 'prisoner' says they're lying

[malaise]

and he has no plan of being their snitch.
They did something to him.
He is on GEM$NBComcast

That is all

[marym625]

1. Thank you for this

Which show? I want to catch it on the replay

[bravenak]

5. I'm looking at Chris Hayes.

It's coming on soon.

[marym625]

9. Thank you!

Been watching Al Jazeera but not paying close attention

[bravenak]

10. It was good, girl.

You gotta see it.

[marym625]

25. I'm being told he'll be on Maddow

But also that he was on Hayes. On both or I missed it?

[bravenak]

31. He's doing the msnbc rounds tonight.

You'll see him.

[marym625]

34. Oh good! I will keep watching

But I am mad at Maddow.

[bravenak]

35. Why?

[marym625]

38. Let me find it

[bravenak]

39. Uh oh

[marym625]

43. Thought I had a clip but don't

When I turned on maddow it was all about the riots. She literally talked about the 15 cops being hurt about 6 times in about 15 minutes..Nothing at all like the report on Al Jazeera. Nothing about the reasons for the uprising, the horrible statistics, etc. Just the CVS, cops hurt, etc

[bravenak]

45. I had stopped watching this week cause of that.

I was pissed. But you know how it is, I stay pissed.

[marym625]

48. We should be pissed.

We should be outraged!

Gotta order dinner. I will TTYL. Have a great night!

[bravenak]

49. Allright, see you later!

[questionseverything]

52. i got a bad feeling about her "cheerleading" the martial law thing

troops on the streets used against American citizens should only be used in EXTREME circumstances...the night after the burnings it might of been warranted but they are acting like it is indefinite now

[marym625]

54. and it's only in the certain parts of the city.

The rich areas have no restrictions.

#FuckThePolice and the police state!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

59. I love that guy.

[marym625]

15. Did I miss it?

[bravenak]

6. OMG.

He denied everything they said he said. He said Freddie could not hurt himself in there, there's no room. That he had to already be hurt when he got in. That by the time they got to the police station, he was pretty much DEAD.

[marym625]

13. so horrible

Just so horrible! God damn I am beginning to hate this country. Beginning. Ha! But, you know I got a Tom of shit last time I said that here

[bravenak]

33. I remember that.

So unamerican to be honest.

[marym625]

36. Thanks

Sigh. Can't win with some people. Felt like I was burning the flag at a Cardinals game

[bravenak]

37. Or Roseanne singing the Anthem.

I liked it.

[marym625]

40. lol!

Yeah! Or that! Only time I ever felt sorry for her. The backlash

[bravenak]

42. It was bad. I felt bad for her and I was 10

I sing about as well as she does.

[marym625]

46. Thank you for the warning

She did deal with it well on her show. Made fun of herself

[bravenak]

47. Lol!

She was baaad!

[marym625]

50. Yes ma'am.

But, who am I to judge

[tblue37]

56. A "Tom of sh*t"? Would that be Tom Cotton? (Sometimes the hyperactive autocorrect actually

makes a good point, heh, heh, heh.)

[marym625]

57. lol!

I didn't even catch that! Too funny. Yes. Tom of shit IS Tom cotton

[Liberal_in_LA]

29. Omg

[bravenak]

30. I know!!! Liars!!

[Adrahil]

66. That does not surprise me... I hope they nail, the killer cops. n/t

[chillfactor]

2. what are you talking about?

prisoner....snitch.....did something.....

an explanation would be nice..

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

4. I'm assuming they're talking about Freddie Gray case, the "other prisoner" in the paddy wagon.

Who the report was leaked, anonymous and thirdhand, that he heard Gray bumping against wagon walls and claimed he throught he was trying to harm himself even though he couldn't see him at all.

[malaise]

7. Chris Hayes

There was an interview with that fabulous reporter Miller (can't remember her first name - might be Jayne) and the prisoner the cops lied about in the anonymous WP report that Gray severed his own spine.

The 'prisoner' decided to clear his name and fuck their anonymous bull shit lies.
It was something to see.

[hopemountain]

62. yes, jayne miller

he also stated he is not a friend of the police and only answered questions for the investigator. he described the ride in the van real quite all the way to the police station although he heard a few "thumps" and demonstrated the sound. he said when they got to the police station, mr. gray was unresponsive and he said the cops were asking "mr. gray?, mr. gray?" but there was no response.

[avebury]

63. He was really smart to go public, particularly after

the police were trying to "protect" him by not releasing his name. I think that he would need more protection from the police then the public. I wouldn't be surprised if the police had planned to do something to him and then try to blame it on the protestors so that they would have his alleged story with no one to dispute what they put out.

[malaise]

65. +1,000

The real question is why M$Greedia starting with the WP ran with that BS story.

[libdem4life]

3. Amazing...a prisoner's testimony would not be accepted in a normal situation.

They coerced him to protect themselves...and he's "snitching" on them. He's gone from Cop Patsy to Cop Snitch. Thank god for cell phones and surveillance cameras.

[malaise]

8. This is an amazing happening

for sure - every aspect of the sordid corrupt police is slowly being exposed. The more they dig, the more they expose themselves. It is breath-taking.

[libdem4life]

14. The structure is crumbling and, like rats deserting a ship, it's everyone for themselves.

[frylock]

18. I would GTFO of town if I were him

[malaise]

22. Had the same thought

He doesn't have a chance

[libdem4life]

27. I think he felt safer using the media...that's what he said why he went public.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

60. It is when cops imprison EVERYBODY.

[Logical]

11. Our criminal justice system is a joke! nt

[malaise]

20. Not just yours either

It's scary because many cops in our hemisphere receive training in the US.

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. When I heard the original report I went, nope he is not lying

he could not see beyond the division. He heard banging, Gray was unrestrained and cuffed, likely unconscious and was given a penny ride. Banging, sure. as the body flings against the van wall.

But more of the truth now trickles out.

[PinkPotus]

19. If one was getting bounced around, wouldn't both be?

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. Not of the other guy was actually wearing a seat belt

rough ride, yes, banged, not so much.

[riderinthestorm]

24. I didn't hear the interview but Freddie Gray wasn't buckled in

he was given a "nickel ride".

If the other passenger/s were buckled in, they would not have been tossed around, or probably even have noticed a too sharp turn or hard braking.

[avebury]

64. And it has been reported that Gray was not the first

person that the Baltimore PD gave a rough ride. They have had a few court settlements.

[democrank]

16. That Baltimore Police Department

needs a big-ass cleaning out

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. And I wish it was limited to Baltimore or Ferguson

[malaise]

23. or even America

Sadly it's a mess in many places

[nadinbrzezinski]

26. Well I really did not want to mention the Federal Police

or for that matter insert municipal police in my home country, but if you must...

Where do you want me to start?

[malaise]

28. Well I could start right here

in Jamaica.
Those with power (and weapons) are out of control and they get support from the coercive arm of the state and from many in the branches of government.

[nadinbrzezinski]

32. Well in Mexico due to Plan Merida

and the war on drugs, they not only are out of control but there are at least 26,000 people missing, and we all know of the 43 students missing from Ayotzinapa, or the army killing some folks at Tlataya.

The Human Rights Commission is bbbuuuusssyyy.

Did I mention the war on drugs? Common denominator methinks.

[malaise]

51. Well we finally ended the war on drugs

and decriminalized ganja. Hopefully we'll see some change although I doubt that it will change the cocaine trade in our hemisphere.

[Oktober]

41. I wonder if he was identified and fears for his safety....

[Pirate Smile]

58. I think he was more afraid of being anonymous & used as cover for the cops.

At least that was the impression I got from the interview.

[Dr. Strange]

44. Who're you gonna believe? Some POS low-life thug?

Or the prisoner?

Tough call, no?

[malaise]

55. I see what you did there

Most excellent!

[elleng]

53. His conversation/interview on Hayes show was very confusing,

and pretty clear worth NOTHING as 'evidence.'

[HipChick]

61. What exactly was confusing?

My takeaway was the Cops were lying
