MSNBC had a banner up stating that Gray's arrest was an illegal one. (Original Post) diabeticman May 2015 OP
It was. His murder was illegal, too. I'm glad they've made some arrests. MADem May 2015 #1
Maybe, this time, some good will come of this tragedy at a national level. NYC_SKP May 2015 #2
To me that matters most. Any action after that was criminal. KeepItReal May 2015 #3

Or the lack of medical treatment.

You can see he was clearly hurt BEFORE they put him in that van.

He is dead and he did nothing wrong.And they didn't even care to give him medical treatment.

Here in mo in ferguson what was just indefense was leaving michael brown's body to rot on street for 3 hours.

Maryland State's Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby announced criminal charges against all six police officers involved in the arrest of Freddie Gray, which she declared "a homicide" and “an illegal arrest.” She also said the knife Gray was carrying was legal.

“The knife was not a switchblade and is lawful under Maryland law,” Mosby said, contradicting the charging documents.
