I wrote to as many people that i could about what I know about LE in this area and their "game of fun" and "hard stops" with inmates in the back seat unbuckled. I still feel, in my heart and gut, and sound mind, that he died from the driver speeding up and slamming on the breaks. This is what is referred to by le as a "hard stop" but LE in my family, do it on purpose as a game so that the inmate's face faceplants onto the backseat cage. this could break a persons neck, and or spine as well as bones in the face depending on the speed. The route they drove, needs to be checked for as they were in progress, not just the "stops". IOW, LE that I know, do this for fun. I wrote to as many people as I could demanding these officers be asked about this procedure. It is a sickening fact, one that I only know of personally because I was told by a cop. In the neighboring area. Knowing in my heart, that cops do this as a joke, for fun, or out of hatred for drug addicts or other reasons, sickens me....and I do think this is what killed Freddie Gray. The game how it was described to me, was intentional, which is first degree...premeditation as soon as they put them in unbuckled. There is no getting around that either. Proving it happened in this case, won't be an issue if the cops will just tell the truth about what they really did. Ppl all over are wondering why all the stops, etc. IT's more about the speeds reached, between the stops before the driver slams on the breaks. Sickening. I'm so glad that charges were filed, and I hope this comes out...because it's common practice. I'm really sad to say it too, I'm embarrassed to know that someone i know in LE, gains pleasure from this sick form of punishment. The driver knows the person is going to be injured, seriously...and when I was told the story he laughed. He derived pleasure from doing it to people he was taking into the station. After a week of CNN headlines, "what happened inside that van" and then remembering the conversation that was relayed to us, my heart sank, my head hurt and I had to write to as many people I could in this area, so they would start asking, did they do this? Did they engage, purposely in "hard stops" with Freddie Gray? If they dont know about this unknown "game" or illegal procedure how on earth, will they depose? I'm done writing about it now, but I'm sure this is what was done to him. It's pre meditated. As soon as the decision is made to not buckle in; that cop knws they are going to have some "fun" with that inmate. Thats exactly how it was described to me, and it sickens me. I truly think this is how and why he died.
