Yep, that's what has been suggested here
Inorite? Seems a bit excessive to me but...whatever.

And, if they do, it's ok if they happen to die in custody from the lack of taking reasonable care of them. That's the logical end to what you're suggesting here.
Because, after all, we don't need trials or anything - we know Gray was guilty of, um, something or other, and that if he dies that's just fine.
Right?

So, we can agree that's stupidly excessive. Now maybe we can come up with something else?
the bus drivers, of course, were dealing with traffic accidents and conditions on the buses based on what was given to them.
If the police van had no seat belts, I'd suggest the problem is the van and not the police.
Seems the van HAD belts, but the officers chose not to use them - against policy and what any reasonable person would do.
Seems a bit different cases here.
You sure have a funny way of looking at that. But I'm OK with it....
Life in prison, no parole? That's what we should give people that ignore the label and step on the top ladder step, or tear the tags off mattresses.

I believe I'm speaking for you, not me, with that. And, you being ok with it suggests my belief is correct.

Or, people who drive drunk and result in the deaths of others. Or, people who cause accidents through neglect that results in the death of others.
Just spit-balling here, but those seem more similar to this situation.

Why didn't old Freddy buckle himself in? I don't have a cop come to my house to buckle me in. People who ride with me buckle themselves in.
Matter of fact if they don't and are caught. I don't get the ticket--they do.
Geesh... let's just all agree that all the officers involved should have been fired and lost their pensions just so this thread will die the death it rightly deserves?!
And yet the "protocol" is no seat belts. Are you saying that the DOT is not being reasonable?

Why don't we just agree that Freddie Gray dying probably took a lot of future crime off the street.

I am glad that buses have no seat belts. If they did they would have to start out to school two hours earlier and those stacked up behind them would never get to work on time while the driver waited for the kids to get buckled.
I think everyone agrees with that. It won't stop this thread though.
. Yeah....I noticed that.

The handcuffs probably held him up a little.
