#2 Let me see if I got it straight. They're trying to convict a black cop for "racist murder" of black prisoner?

#5 If he gets acquitted, there will be riots. The prosecution will have to raise that point very subtly.

#6 The guy was obviously killed by the ride in the van. Sliding around on the floor and hitting a wall head-first because he was handcuffed and not able to hang onto anything. Probably during a firm braking maneuver. He went into the van in one piece, he came out dead. He was in police custody the whole time. What's so hard?

#7 What makes it hard gorb, IIRC Freddie the Faker has had a history of throwing himself around in police custody so he could claim brutality. He may have gotten a bit too rambunctious.

#8 #6 - and surveillance video of the van ride showed none of the actions you ascribe. In fact the other "passenger" in the back first said it was a smooth ride. This guy killed himself by stupidity

#10 Ah. Thanks for the explainers and the links. I never would have thought of they guy trying to hurt himself.

Still, he should have been belted or harnessed in place to protect both the passenger and the police. And given this evidence, it seems a video camera in the back of the van would keep lawsuits at bay, too.
