In last week’s News: In the United States, we reported that Freddie Gray was arrested for being “involved in criminal activity,” but Gray wasn’t involved in criminal activity , he just made eye to eye contact with the police officers and ran away. Also, we inaccurately reported that Gray suffered spine surgery a week after the arrest, however, he did suffer a spinal cord injury.
It’s also worth noting that Gray was illegally arrested, his “crime” was possessing a pocket knife (legal in the state of Maryland) and that the spinal injury was caused by excessive force from the arresting officers, who have been charged with homicide and have warrants out for their arrest.
These are the facts of the case. This is why people are rioting in Baltimore.
