Freddie Gray

why does no one mention that it looked like he was unable to walk before getting into the van?

perhaps the "attempt to injure himself" was simply the desperate flailing of someone who was in incredible pain and was attempting to "distribute" the pain.

in karate, when you are going to the ground, you are supposed to roll and then sort of slap the ground with your arms outstretched. this distributes the load afaict. Gray may have been doing the same thing. the current development of the narrative of "attempting to injure himself" gives me a very uneasy feeling.

he was dragging his legs as they brought him to the van. even if your feet are shackled, you will tend to try use your feet and legs normally, at least at various times. that seems like important "fact"/"interpretation" #1.
