Correct, since it had nothing to do with the incident that killed him.
The police do not operate in a vacuum. The length of Freddie Gray's criminal record is absolutely relevant to the incident which ultimately led to his death when you allow yourself to acknowledge the painfully obvious. The police working the streets knew who he was. As opposed to the loving, benevolent, righteous saint the liberal left made Gray out to be the police on the ground knew he was a low-life dirt-bag drug dealer with an arrest record dating back to 2007, an arrest record which included acts of malicious destruction of property, second-degree assault, fourth-degree burglary, trespassing, and multiple counts of possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to sell.
Given the acquittals following the show trials of the police involved, the original claim Gray's own actions within the van led to his death appears to be the truth.
Correct, since there's video that shows the police retrieving the gun from his pocket after he was shot means the gun wasn't a threat.
A gun in the possession of a convicted felon is always a threat. What you are advocating is the ridiculous standard police must not be proactive, they must wait until a suspect actually points his weapon at them and fires a round before they are allowed to respond. I have operated under such restrictions before, and know exactly where that leads. But as has been repeatedly proven the liberal/progressive crowd in general is perfectly content with police, and in like manner combat soldiers, being gunned down if it means the criminal is well treated. One of the true icons of the American left is Mumia Abu-Jamal, after all.
Unless you believe in magic guns that shoot the police without being touched.
A statement written by someone who has never found himself on the business end of a gun. Sterling was armed and resisting arrest, actively struggling with the police. If he had a gun on him, which he did, the police have no choice but to conclude he was struggling in an attempt to reach that weapon.
This one seems like the gun might have been a factor, so yes, you can point out the gun. But not the conviction by itself.
Same as with Freddie Gray. Scott had a criminal record dating back to 1992, and included crimes such as aggravated assault, assault with intent to kill, assault with a deadly weapon, felony assault with a deadly weapon, misdemeanor assault on a child under twelve, all wrapped around a seven year stint in prison for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
How do you expect the police to act when encountering such a person, particularly when he has a gun in his hand?
