Blue Wall Cover Ups: Gray Killed Himself

As a victim of manifest injustice it always amazes me how repetitive, verbal, reinforcing Bull Chit is able to diffuse, or even overcome - glaring truths. And yet, the proverbial 'Blue Wall of Silence', the Police Unions and the oligarch's bought & paid for media, are still trying to maintain the status quo (that non-oligarch lives don't matter), via cover ups and disinformation.

It is as if they, the powers that be, are all dumber than they believe U.S. (and the rest of the world chiming in) - to be. Anyone with common sense doesn't need a doctors education and oath to know that it is an arduous task to break your throat, much less your spine; even when it is done others.

In this case, it appears to have taken several to get the job done.

As par for the course, in line with people shooting themselves in squad cars with handcuffs behind their back (and even another case yesterday, of a gal purportedly shooting at police - after being detained and tossed in a squad car), now we have the culprits proffering the absurd premise that Freddie Gray broke his own throat and spine (this goes beyond inane).

Proof of insanity, is the ("pure&quot WaPo msm reporting of a witness to Gray's self mutilation (here).

[center][font size=4 color=burnt]WTF![/font][/center]
[br]
Today, the Washington Post is defending its action, stating that it simply reported from the facts within a Police report. But the FACT of the matter is, WaPo was being part of the disinformation blame game. As the title from WaPo tells a specific tale...

Stating - influentially - that;

[center][font size=4]Prisoner in van thought Gray was ‘trying to injure himself[/font][/center]
[br]
This title is not one of journalist integrity. NOPE, it is one that seeks to sway the opinion through the only absurd premise oligarch geniuses can hope to utilize, to save their supremacist arses. As is corroborated by the f----k'n sick, KKK title to WaPo's picture that states;

[center][font size=4 color=navy]Residents clean up from the looting and fires
that plagued parts of the city Monday
after the funeral for Freddie Gray.
[/font][/center]

Beyond the fact that we can't put the photo here and link to it (because the repugish' tards proffer to "sell" the photo), the subtitle to the picture is not of rioters or riot acts; but of protesters marching.

Also, as a techy, I look for the meta information and such, to see what the IT geniuses at WaPo are utilizing for their hierarchy, based on keywords an such. In this particular case, though the title is "Prisoner in van though Gray was 'trying to injure himself', the actual web link of the story also corroborates the malicious intent of WaPo's slant on the story - that;

[center]prisoner-in-van-said-freddie-gray-was-banging-against-the-walls-during-ride[/center]
[br]

Are you pissed off enough yet? Does the charges coming quickly (for once) quell your anxieties? Are you like me and wonder what GZ, Staten Island, Ferguson, Fullerton Kelly Thomas thingy is going to transpire - this time - to make ALL the charges go away?

Well then, take a look at the verbatim words of the Washington Post that;

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.

The prisoner, who is currently in jail, was separated from Gray by a metal partition and could not see him. His statement is contained in an application for a search warrant, which is sealed by the court. The Post was given the document under the condition that the prisoner not be named because the person who provided it feared for the inmate’s safety.

Do you see that is says the prisoner "could not see him" due to a metal partition? Does it ring with you that the van made "3" stops. And that one of them is claimed to have placed Gray in leg irons?

Did you notice the remark that;

The third stop was to put the other prisoner — a 38-year-old man accused of violating a protective order — into the van. The van was then driven six blocks to the Western District station. Gray was taken from there to a hospital, where he died April 19.


Not only are there contradictory remarks (such as that Gray was put back on the seat "without" restraints), but there's also the note that Gray asked for medical help at the point of the second stop.

WHY?

We simply can't say it any better than the sign above says (pic from a WordPress Blog titled "DearKitty1" {that had an original story - HERE}). It doesn't matter what crime you did (though the recent reports by the prosecutor is stating that Gray was not guilty of any thing worthy of being arrested - in the first place) - one doesn't deserve to be injured by police - simply because they consider you the enemy.

DearKitty1 WordPress Blog states under "Politics, Racisim and Anti-Racisim" that;

“We have a clear message,” organizer Brock Satter told the Boston Globe at a 500-person rally in Boston. “We’re gonna demand the government indict the killers of Freddie Gray. If you want peace, if you want calm, jail the killers of Freddie Gray.”

Gray’s death has been compared with those of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri; Eric Garner in Staten Island, New York; and Walter Scott in North Charleston, South Carolina. All were unarmed black men who died during confrontations with police.

Erica Garner, Eric Garner‘s daughter, spoke at the New York rally. She told protesters that she had attended Gray’s funeral on Monday and understood — but did not endorse — the violence. “We need to change this for the next generation,” Garner added, according to Black Youth Project tweets. “This has to stop now.”

The aunt of Akai Gurley, who was fatally shot by police in Brooklyn, New York, in November, was also in attendance, according to MSNBC reporter Amanda M. Sakuma.

In case you killer cops, power mongers, bought out media and oligarchy haven't noticed, we of the world - The Citizenry - aren't swallowing your babbling Bull Chit any more. Your bought and paid for main stream media - matters less and[small] less[/small]. We, the citizens of the world, get the truth out faster than you can think up your bull chit.

If you think the people are out of control, you are right. For your control means U.S. swallowing babbling, repetitive, reinforcing manure and calling it cake & ice cream. As is purely evident by the world wide response to the absurdity of a person winding up with a broken spine (for NO apparent reason); you have lost your ability to control U.S. with your brutality.

Soon, your wars are going to face the same amount of protest.

And, if you think such isn't true, as for your designs to remove this prosecutor and wind up with a not guilty verdict. That's not going to bode well.

One of the neatest Tweets out this week (that I'm having a trouble finding) is the remark some white snob made in a public area - that what would young kids using the term nigg'ahs ...say - if Martin Luther King was standing next to them.

To which the young man responded -

------------------------ "If your people hadn't killed him - maybe we would know"!
[br]

While the Washington Post fails to print a retraction and embarrasses itself even further (when its attempt to smear campaign died instantly), doing a two step out of its own manure pie with its new story titled "Those stories that Freddie Gray had a preexisting spinal injury are totally bogus";

let's, instead take a look at Norm Chomsky's reasons why

Did Freddie Gray get "proper" medical treatment?

Or was it the barest of minimums?


How does one day, days later, from a spinal injury (was it at the neck)?

Did he say ANYthing - to ANYbody - while in the hospital?
