A footnote on the second degree murder of Freddie Grey;

His neck was broken by police before he ever was carried to the van.




Being from the area I watched the very first TV interviews by cub reporters before editors deemed it necessary to get involved.

In the interview of an eye witness, a black man in his seventies said "the police rolled Freddie up like a pretzel" to restrain him while waiting for the police van. Video of Freddie near his bicycle began after they unrolled him and the neck injury was apparent in his inability to walk.

The interview of that witness never surfaced again or referenced by the DA or anyone else in the media.

The stop Trump effort is now an official failure.

The illusion is that Americans are right wing but it is only an Illusion.

Many Americans are racists however, and find solace in the right wing support of those family inherited values of hate. Some of the racism is tribally overt and some is not even recognized in the behavior and belief by less strident practitioners of bigotry.

Ebbie can I hear the song?
