Just when I thought they couldn't go any lower than the lies they've tried to pass of as the truth,now they're implying that he beat himself up for cover.Notice that he claims the guy in the van who wouldn't lie for them is also a snitch,putting him in danger on purpose. These guys are sick.
They told Kelly that in this case, like in many other cases, Gray would put on a show and resist and show that he wasnt cooperating with the police, but once he got to the station, he was a great witness.
Gray apparently helped the department solve many crimes and different acts of violence.
Gray did so, the cop said, because snitches get stitches, and even said thats why the second prisoner in the police van publicly denied a police report in which he supposedly said Gray deliberately tried to injure himself.
I think thats him trying to cover up his reputation on the streets, the cop said.

(14,040 posts)All you have to do is look at the arrest of Kevin Moore (the guy that filmed Gray's arrest), the treatment of the kid that got arrested for smashing that car window ($500k bail, the cops $350k), the "rough rides."
They are aware that the PD is corrupt, so I think they'll give that weight at the moment. However, if it's proven in court that this guy is indeed a snitch, well, that's a different story. Hopefully between Mosby, Rawlings-Blake and Batts they can make some progress in cleaning up the BPD--they seem sincere in their desire to do so.
However, I could be wrong in all respects.

(4,220 posts)This Kelly idiot is dangerous.
So Freddie killed himself, he was a real showman!!! He was an informant and so was the other prisoner. All the cops are saints.
In the beginning the masked man said he talked to 2 of the cops, but knew all of them. As the interview progressed he said the 2 he talked to were the bike cops. Later, he quoted the van driver and Kelly actually said I thought you only talked to the 2 bike cops. He quickly said oh, I mean I talked to 3 of the cops, a lie which she of course overlooked.
Faux has now been using this interview this am as if its sworn testimony.
My guess is the person interviewed is not even in Baltimore, just some intern at Faux reading a script!
Remember the "friend" of Darren Wilson who did that radio interview who first claimed Mike Brown "charged" at Wilson???
This is the same shit.

(22,871 posts)I can't imagine anything more reckless than going on a national news show and naming an informant,he painted a target on the person who refused to corroborate the cops story of what happened in the van,he did it on purpose.

(9,350 posts)So, if Freddie Gray was such a great informant why did the first bike cop that saw him not know who he was an informant? Why was he given a "rough ride"? The police have said that at first Freddie Gray was the only person in the police van. Later, they only picked up one other person. So, who were the police trying to trick with their actions? As far as I know very few people were around when Gray was arrested. So, once again why did the police need to go through the actions they went through?

Depends when he gave the original info I suppose... Before or after everything blew up.
