http://www.ifyouonlynews.com/videos/watch-fox-news-claims-freddie-gray-worked-for-police-arrest-was-all-an-act-video/This is truly journalism gone horribly wrong. Fox News, with nothing at all to corroborate, invited an anonymous source to tell a story about Freddie Gray that if true would possibly exonerate the officers involved in his death.
The source, who speaks through a voice-scrambler and appears in a blacked out studio, is identified only as Mike. He is apparently a police officer, and he tells Meghan Kelly that Gray was a great witness for us.
The issue with the interview from any reasonable standpoint is that the witness, who says he spoke with two of the officers since the incident, claims that Freddie frequently put on a show to get arrested so he could snitch on people, then explains why officers were forced to pursue him, and it was for their own safety because of Freddies violent behavior that he wasnt seatbelted into the van.

With all the cops showing up from five surrounding states wearing their little white gloves.

(36,437 posts)that the club outside of which Louima was arrested was a notorious "gay S&M" club, and that his injuries were not from being attacked by Officer Justin Volpe and crew in the precinct house, but from "consensual rough sex" in the club. Heard that from three separate NYPD officers, one of which didn't know the others at all.
Needless to say, the story was abject bullshit, but it's remarkable what the cops and cop humpers will invent to erase their own criminality.
Justin Volpe, by the way, is 17 years into a 30 year sentence in federal prison.

(154,021 posts)he was a snitch (though I know what they are trying to do, but ok, he was... let's accept this one for a second), That does not change the fact that a nickel ride was used and that he is dead.
Now what they are trying to do is change the story line and set the stage for a jury trial. They already played their hand. They will put Freddie Gray on the stand.

(53,740 posts)Gray is DEAD while in their custody. They can't get around that.
He's dead.
Somebody is going to pay because that young prosecutor is no joke.
