Extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence. How will they be able to prove that in a court of justice? Of course why do you need a court of justice when you have the control of the media to constantly redefine the meaning of truth.

No one is saying that. The truth is yet to be uncovered.
They most likely closed the police van doors leaving his head hanging outside the vehicle

the video does not show that. It is most likely that he was injured when he was first apprehended and it was aggravated after the put him in chains. Whatever it was someone will pay.
Which video? The official or the unofficial one.

Baltimore witness: Cops twisted Freddie Gray like 'origami'
Baltimore cops twisted Freddie Gray like "origami," says the man who filmed the fatally wounded 25-year-old's arrest.
Witness Kevin Moore is speaking out on the confrontation between police officers and Gray, who died of a severed spinal cord.
"They had him folded up like he was a crab or a piece of origami," Moore told the Baltimore Sun. "He was all bent up, and the officer had his knee in his neck. He was just screaming, like screaming for life."
The death of Gray a week after the April 12 bust inflamed tensions between cops and black residents with the police union boss describing protesters as a âlike a lynch mob.â
Union boss Gene Ryan acknowledged demonstrations had been peaceful but blasted protestersâ ârhetoricâ after Gray's death.
âIn fact, the images seen on television look and sound much like a lynch mob in that they are calling for imprisonment of these officers without them ever receiving the due process that is the Constitutional right of every citizen, including law enforcement officers,â Ryan said in a written statement.
The controversial description infuriated critics who bashed the union leader as impossibly tone deaf to one of the grimmest reminders of racial injustice in this countryâs history.
âWeâve been the victims of the lynching and now weâre the lynch mob?â Gray family attorney Billy Murphy told the Baltimore Sun. âThe president of the police union called peaceful protests and the anger at the death of a man to severe and unfathomable injuries while in police custody a lynch mob? It doesn't get more insensitive or insulting than that. These remarks illustrate why black people and the police don't get along.â
Ryan should rethink his priorities, the attorney said.
âHe needs to issue an apology at the speed of light and focus on the more important issues of how this black man didn't deserve to die and have his spinal cord severed and his neck broken â how that happened," Murphy told the Baltimore Sun.
Ryan later backed off the inflammatory language.
âMaybe I need to reword that,â he said at a news conference.
Gray could be heard in a cell phone video screaming as two officers dragged the handcuffed 25-year-old to a police van and loaded him inside.
He was later taken to a hospital where doctors discovered his spinal cord was almost completely severed. Gray slipped into a coma and died a week later.
Union leaders maintain the injuries happened inside the van but claim theyâre not sure how.
The case is now being investigated by the Department of Justice.
The union rushed to support the six officers involved while laying blame for the arrest on Gray, who was carrying a pocket knife when he was stopped.
âHad he not had a knife or a an illegal weapon on him, he would have been released after the proper paperwork was done,â union attorney Michael Davey said at a news conference.
