Quote:People wouldn't run if they felt they could trust the police.    In the case of Freddy Gray he ran before they even started pursuing them for anything.  I know that I have trouble trusting police, and I'm a white man.  I can only imagine a black man would have more trouble trusting police.
People also run because they have something to hide.  In the case of Freddy Gray, he was not even a suspect until he ran (according the reports I have seen).  His actions however did draw the attention of the police in his direction in the 1st place.  His distrust of the police might have something to do with his lengthy rap sheep perhaps?  

 

Look I do not condone what happened to this young man one bit.  Furthermore if Gray was as speculated given a "rough ride" then the officers in the van should face trial for involuntary manslaughter.  Regardless he was not some innocent bystander chosen at random for a ride to the police station.

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.
