This has become a national story, another case in which an encounter with police has led to a death, raising questions about police conduct.

Everyone is jumping on this like "BAD COPS!!"

Guess what, if Homey played by the rules then he would still be here today.

You pansies are the reason there is so much crime in this world and anyone that posts a story like this is just as much the problem.

5:17 Back at you. If the cops played by the rules "homey" would still be here today. See it works BOTH ways when you break the law.

We've brought this on ourselves by giving cops military equipment and uniforms with the corresponding attitudes.
Too many of them have developed a gestapo-like mentality.
We live in a rough world, but there's a lot to be said for the 'Andy Taylor' sheriffs out there.. getting the job done but still nice as can be.
We've got one here (in Indiana..)
No gangs here. He's doing a great job.

It would seem as if you were there & know exactly what happened, so why don't you tell us all?! I don't believe he'd have been upright if his spinal cord had been severely injured, leading me to conclude that he took a beating when there were no witnesses outside of the police dept. 5:21 is exactly correct, IMO. We see too many LEOs that think the laws don't apply to them. Why do you think so many are against citizens recording video of them? There's no GOOD reason to be. Keep cheering.

I don't believe any of the charges against him should have required the death penalty by self-appointed LEO judge & jury.

"When Mr. Gray was taken out of that van, he could not talk and he could not breathe," Rodriguez said.

Oh, so he was still okay and alive, but simply couldn't breathe.

I get it. That's not an obvious medical emergency, just a condition ha happened to be in at the time.

Okay. I'm going to start carrying full time now. F*** your laws and all LEO's. If you can't trust one, you can't trust any.

It's your bed, boys, you made it. Now sleep in it, comfortably.

You defender of the Police are a bunch of Redneck racist. Why should a man on a bicycle be stopped there was no probable except the lie they are going to make up. He ends up dead with a severed spin and they don't know what happen his spin had to be ok before these 6 klansman had him in their custody. He couldn't have ridden the bike if it was. this another opportunity to show the what punks you have as police.
