Freddie Gray video: New footage shows Gray motionless while under police custody - TomoNews

Описание: BALTIMORE — A new cellphone video obtained by the Baltimore Sun shows Freddie Gray lying motionless as several police officers shackle his ankles and load him into the van.

The footage contradicts the driver's claims that Freddie Gray, who died while in police custody last month, was "irate" and the search warrant's explanation that he "continued to be combative in the police wagon."

Michelle Gross, who knew Gray, told the Baltimore Sun she handed her cellphone to a neighbor during the stop. The neighbor recorded the incident at the corner of Mount and Baker Streets.

It was the first stop the driver made after officers arrested Gray at 8:39 a.m. Police pulled the van over several more times before arriving at the police station and finally requesting medical help for Gray at 9:24.

Baltimore police did release security footage from the Mount-Baker intersection but the camera did not capture the van.

The new video shows Gray lying completely still as several officers put shackles on his ankles. It then shows them loading him onto the van floor head first.

The video raises fresh questions about the officers' handling of the incident and their motive for shackling him in the first place.

Freddie Gray died from his injuries on April 19, sparking nationwide protests.

A Baltimore prosecutor says the arrest was illegal. But a lawyer for the officers says they did nothing wrong, the Wall Street Journal reported.
