GAME-CHANGER! Prisoner in van says Freddie Gray was ‘trying to INJURE HIMSELF’

New information that has surfaced tonight might completely change the story that has fueled the Baltimore riots.

From the Washington Post:

A prisoner sharing a police transport van with Freddie Gray told investigators that he could hear Gray “banging against the walls” of the vehicle and believed that he “was intentionally trying to injure himself,” according to a police document obtained by The Washington Post.

The prisoner, who is currently in jail, was separated from Gray by a metal partition and could not see him. His statement is contained in an application for a search warrant, which is sealed by the court. The Post was given the document under the condition that the prisoner not be named because the person who provided it feared for the inmate’s safety.

The document, written by a Baltimore police investigator, offers the first glimpse of what might have happened inside the van. It is not clear whether any additional evidence backs up the prisoner’s version, which is just one piece of a much larger probe.

I don’t think the looters and rioters are going to take this well – they’re not predisposed to believing anything from the police.
