Actually i've watched the video of Freddie Greys arrest, and i see no black officers mistreating him nor would i think that if a black officer slammed him into the ground hard enough to break his spine - that he simply left the scene while the white officers made the actual arrest. In fact the only Black officer is see in that video is the one who opens the van's door and that is a totally subservient role, so I hardly think that was the guy in charge.
Ive watched the video too, what im suggesting is that there was an injury given to Freddie previous to the start of that video. I think he was slammed into the cement when an officer caught him after he ran away.
If you have a video that shows the cops initially approach him, him running away, the cops eventually catching up with him, the cops detaining and cuffing him, then putting him into the van please let me know. I cant find any videos that show anywhere near what all happened. There are only a few clips of the cops dragging him into the van where he looks unresponsive.
Short of having the above mentioned video im not sure why you wont just admit you have no proof whatsoever that a black officer was or wasnt involved in hurting Gray. Just because you see photos or evidence of 3 white men carrying him at one point doesnt mean you can logically assume what happened. And i can tell you that if one of the officers did mishandle Gray the other officers likely would have taken over the arrest, thats fairly common procedure. Separate the officer to cool off and not risk another incedent, especially because im sure everyone was gathering around at that point. Whether thats what happened i have no clue, but im not going to blindly assume just so it fits the racist narrative a bit better...

So in your mind the 3 black officers were the ones that slammed freddie into the pavement and then the 3 white officer's verbally reprimanded them on their excessive use of force and told them to go away. Haha - white privilege fantasies are funny
More of your own strawman fantasies played out. I stated multiple times i have no fucking clue what happened.
As to the white priviledge please tell me one single thing you've ever done for a minority that has changed their life for the positive. Job placement, drug treatment, ties their shoe when their hands were full, anything will do. Otherwise your just another talker.
