Cops won’t face court
THE US Justice Department will not pursue charges against six Baltimore police officers involved in the death of Freddie Gray, a young black man whose fatal injury in custody ignited mass protests.
The DOJ announced it had found “insufficient evidence to support federal criminal civil rights charges” against the six officers.
The 25-year-old suffered a severed spine while being transported in the back of a police van – unsecured and with his hands and feet bound – after being arrested on April 12, 2015, while fleeing police.
