Excite News - Officer in fatal arrest once hospitalized over mental health

The highest-ranking Baltimore police officer in the arrest that led to Freddie Gray's death was hospitalized in April 2012 over mental health concerns for an unknown duration and had his guns confiscated by local sheriff's deputies, according to records from the sheriff's office and court obtained by The Associated Press.

Lt. Brian Rice, who initially pursued Gray on a Baltimore street when Gray fled after Rice made eye contact April 12, declared three years ago that he "could not continue to go on like this" and threatened to commit an act that was censored in the public version of a report obtained by the AP from the Carroll County, Maryland, Sheriff's Office. Rice lived in the county, about 35 miles northwest of Baltimore. At the time, deputies were responding to a request to check on his welfare by a fellow Baltimore police officer who is the mother of Rice's son.

Deputies reported that Rice appeared "normal and soft spoken" and said he had been seeking "sympathy and attention." But citing "credible information," the deputies confiscated both his official and personal guns, called his commanding officer and transported Rice to the Carroll Hospital Center. The weapons included his .40-caliber police pistol, a 9 mm handgun, an AK-47-style rifle, a .22-caliber rifle and two shotguns.

It was not a "fatal arrest" It was possibly unintended suicide.

What is the legal definition of a "whack job"? We have a Vice President a heart beat away from the most important job in the world who was hospitalized (pronounced dead?) from two brain embolisms. The mayor of Baltimore is a liberal democrat. If there is a problem with Police procedure or health issues ask her what the hell the problem was.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Not surprising and looks like he's not the only one.

Nor is Gray the only prisoner who has "injured himself" while in custody.

From Pregnant Women to the Elderly, Baltimore Cops Have Dark History of Brutality

The city has paid some $5.7 million to more than 100 people in court judgments or settlements for lawsuits claiming police brutality. Gray was the second person to die in Baltimore PD custody in 2015.

That excuse was posted here before but, in point of fact, there are also Rs in authority, including the investigating attorney.

Media’s Baltimore ‘Teen Purge’ Narrative is Falling Apart

Turns out the teen social media “purge” may have been more a police and media creation than an actual threat.

Early Monday afternoon, the Baltimore Sun (4/27/15) reported on a mass police presence that had descended on Baltimore’s Mondawmin Mall. The reason for this military-like occupation, pinning in high schoolers? A flier advocating a “purge”—a term based on the 2013 dystopian film The Purge, supposedly signifying an outbreak of lawlessness—was, according to the Sun, “widely circulated” among the students.

Surely the police had to come down hard because “teens” on “social media” had planned on doing something that in the past had turned out to be a hoax. Nevertheless, the Sun would do most of the PR heavy lifting, reporting on the “purge” as if it was an existential threat—pinning the incident entirely on this mysterious flier:

The incident stemmed from a flier that circulated widely among city school students via social media about a “purge” to take place at 3 p.m., starting at Mondawmin Mall and ending downtown.

The real-world, non-social media evidence of this purge?

When 3 p.m. came, 75 to 100 students heading to Mondawmin Mall were greeted by dozens of police officers in riot gear. The mall is a transportation hub for students from several nearby schools.

So the students left class (at they always do at 3 p.m.) and headed to Mondawmin Mall (as they always do at 3 p.m.) and were met with hundreds of police in riot rear. That’s not what you’d call a smoking gun.

After Baltimore police and a crowd of teens clashed near the Mondawmin Mall in northwest Baltimore on Monday afternoon, news reports described the violence as a riot triggered by kids who had been itching for a fight all day. But in interviews with Mother Jones and other media outlets, teachers and parents maintain that police actions inflamed a tense-but-stable situation.

Well, this absolutely justifies the rioting and looting! Those poor innocent gents!

 

[Kosh]

Oh my the far left is now quoting far left sources without question or hesitation..

That's what you WANT to believe. I understand that, but why are officials trying to get out ahead of the pending reports?

Did you read the story? Or do you wish to remain ignorant?

Police actions of standing down and doing absolutely nothing incited the riot.

Uh huh.

Well, if you're going to hire someone to be cop, I guess it makes sense to hire someone on the edge. Or, if you find out later that they are on the edge, keep'em on the payroll. They make excellent public servants and do a great job. We see it and read about it all the time.

Those poor, innocent, young, polite, gentlemen had every right to riot and loot. after all, one of the officers who chased young Freddie was a "wack job"....

AND was Gray shot? You seem pre-occupied with Rice's weapons. The parallel with Rice..his legally owned weapons, a police officer at the time, and Gray's injury is WHAT exactly?

Hey! I've got a question. Was any Baltimore cop in the back of the transport vehicle where Gray was supposedly injured?

Seems like dumb ol' Freddy was trying to injure himself to get a lawsuit started and the dumb ass went and broke his own damned neck.

We don't know yet if he was alone the whole time that he was in the vehicle.
