Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
In a new twist to the situation with Baltimore and rioting over alleged police brutality, a witness has come forward saying that Freddie Gray, the man who died from a spinal injury, may have attempted to injure himself inside a police van.
The Washington Post reported a prisoner who was in the transport van with Gray heard him “banging against the walls” and that he believed he was “trying to injure himself.” The prisoner, whose name is being withheld and is currently incarcerated, could not see Gray because of a metal partition. Officials are trying to keep the prisoner’s identity secret because of fears he will be killed by other inmates who are sympathetic to the rioters.
Police have admitted that Gray was wrongly denied medical attention when he first requested it. Paramedics weren’t called until the van arrived at the police station which took 30 minutes.
Attorneys for the Gray family do not believe that Gray injured himself.
“We disagree with any implication that Freddie Gray severed his own spinal cord,” attorney Jason Downs said. “We question the accuracy of the police reports we’ve seen thus far, including the police report that says Mr. Gray was arrested without force or incident.”
The police have confirmed that half of those arrested during the riots on Monday have been released without charges. A police spokesman said in the chaos of the rioting, it was difficult to document which officers made which arrest and that officers could not figure out within 48 hours who they had arrested in the riot.
The official total of officers injured in the Monday riot was raised to 20.
The city remains under a state of emergency and nightly curfew.
There’s no doubt that the second prisoner heard him “banging against the walls.” When you’re paralyzed from the waist down and your hands are secured behind your back, it makes it difficult to brace yourself in the back of a van. Every turn probably made him feel like a PINBALL! But PRAISE THE LORD!!! that these CRIMINAL cops are having charges brought against them. Let us pray that they repent of their love of POWER that drove them to such an act!
