Papantonio: Poor Police Training Is Killing Americans

[GoLeft TV]

Protests are continuing in Baltimore as residents demand answers in the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man who died of apparent spinal injuries after being arrested by police. Many are speculating that the "rough ride" may have caused Gray's death. A "rough ride" is a term given to individuals that are put in the back of a police car while the car is driving erratically, all for the purpose of hurting the individual. In a press conference yesterday, Baltimore Police Chief Anthony Batts admitted that Gray was not buckled in.

There is, of course, a lot more to the story. The death in Baltimore, along with tragedies all over the country, are raising one important question: what is wrong with our police?

Mike Papantonio discusses this with attorney Aaron Watson.

2. K & R. This travesty needs to be dealt with now, on the national level especially-

3. Sad K&R. 111 people killed by police in the month of March alone.

And I'd never heard of Rough Riding.

Glad the country is focusing on this problem and I hope there will be an overhaul of police training nationwide.
