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.
