U.S. Marshal Rips Phone From Hands Of Recording Bystander

[Zeke]

As previously indicated, if Gray's spine was injured during the arrest, that's unfortunate but on him: don't create a need to be taken to the ground and you won't be grounded.

Malicious injury in the van? That's criminal.

But general policy has been subdue, restrain, transport then analyze medically once at county (at least around here). There are SO many ridiculous fakers and offender attorney ambulance chasers that vocalizations and the like are -- appropriately -- ignored. If an offender refuses to be restrained by mere cuffs? It's shackle time...hoods are possible if you're a violent felony warrant offender...

But typically? Hell, once an offender was in a cruiser or wagon, you didn't even want to look in on them.

Offender: "He hit me during travel!"
Officer: "Judge, I didn't even open the door."
Judge: "Get him (offender) out of here..."

Bottom line? Gray killed himself by running from police and being unlawfully armed. Don't do that, none of this ever occurs.
