Police in Baltimore are amped and ready to tell you about every detail of damage inflicted upon patrol cars, buildings, exaggerated accounts of assault from ‘mobs’ of ‘threatening’ high schoolers–but can they tell you what Freddie Gray did? Can they explain with the same transparency and vigour what Freddie Gray did to deserve being beaten to the point where his spine was 80% severed from his cervical region? Freddie Gray was carrying a switchblade of legal size, Freddie Gray’s murderers unabashedly failed to provide him proper medical care under their custody, Freddy Gray fell into a coma after an hour of his confrontation with the police. Police officers in Baltimore are ready and prepared to go on CNN and discuss the number of cracks on their windshield but will not and cannot explain to you why Freddie Gray was targeted on April 12th, 2015.
Please refrain from posting or recirculating images that have Baltimore protestors’ faces clearly visible. The Baltimore Police Department and Baltimore’s mayor are using social media to identify and arrest demonstrators, and having images of these people across social media is incredibly dangerous for them.
Please reblog this or repost it, I really don’t care, just get this message out there.
