Bombshell: Cop Who Arrested Freddie Gray, Who Died, Had Been Hospitalized Due to 1 Big Problem

Vatic Note:  This brings up the earlier post we did on the new profiling of cops being hired and the coincidence that so many unarmed civilians have been killed as a result.  Used to be, when our police forces were a "serve and protect" operation, that anyone with certain hangups were rejected from that position of unlimited life and death power,  and today, that seems to have changed.

Under the old system, we had very very little of these kinds of problems, and beginning with tasering, it seems to have increased.  Is it because of the profiling that seems to be part, now, of the hiring process? Are only power hungry psychopathic individuals being hired and selected?   Just asking!  What we need is a whistleblower to get us a copy of the hiring profiles for new incoming officers and see if there has been any changes, anywhere or everywhere.

Some powers that be in some communities have even tried to subvert the Constitutional powers of the County Sheriffs, by making them "appointed" heads of the sheriffs depts, rather than elected by the people.  We posted a couple of blogs on that issue a while back.  It triggered some suspicions in our minds, because of the fusia centers that are being run by the khazars through the ADL and other  lobbying groups such as AIPAC.

Our concern came as a result of finding out they were actually indoctrinating and training our officers and they are not law enforcement experts, so how did that happen?  Let me encourage you to revisit the "protocols of the Elders of Zion" and reread that document, written by the Khazar Zionist Rothschild in 1897 and notice how right on and relevant what they wrote, is today.  Its our new reality. 

In fact, ADL and SPLC are currently on the advisory board for the Homeland SEcurity, and so far only dual Israeli citizens have been appointed as heads of that newly created dept, after the 9-11 Israeli conducted terrorist attack on the twin towers that resulted in the onerous Constitution gutting, Patriot Act.

The case for that was confirmed by Vanunu Mordechi who is an Israeli and publicized Israels theft of American Nuke technology resulting in Nuke weapons now in Israel's arsenal.  He spent 18 years in jail for providing that info to the world press.  JFK was going to address that fact when he was assassinated before he could.    This story below is probably just the tip of the ice berg if we look deeply and broadly into this entire issue.  Otherwise, we may find one of our relatives murdered when simply arrested without a trial.

I feel very fortunately to be living in my town since our cops are still doing the "serve and protect" and are friendly, helpful and not gun happy or short fused tempered.  I don't believe I have ever seen any of our cops at anytime with their guns out of their holsters nor have I ever seen one of them carrying a taser out in the open.  To me, that makes us a good example of good policing for the community and not for the powers that be.

There’s something to be said about the role of mental illness and crime.
That’s true of both the criminals cops arrest as well as the arresting officers who are out there on the streets policing criminals.
 

Police are people too. That means just like criminals on the street they’re also susceptible to the mental disease.
 
And it looks like the man who arrested Freddie Gray suffered from mental illness and his department knew about it. In fact they’d known about it for years and even had to take his gun from him at one point in time because of those concerns.
 
Talking Points memo writes on this:

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 immediately clear how long Rice was at the hospital or whether he went on his own accord. Rice declined to speak with the AP or discuss allegations in a subsequent court filing that he had behaved in erratic or threatening ways toward family members.

When the AP visited Rice’s home last week and left a note requesting an interview, Rice called the sheriff’s department to report the visit as trespassing. Karen McAleer, the mother of his son, also declined to speak with the AP.

The events described in the 2012 report provided the basis for one of at least two administrative suspensions for Rice in 2012 and 2013, a person familiar with the police department staff said. This person spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss confidential personnel matters.

The incidents described in the sheriff’s report and court records involving Rice’s personal problems portray allegations of concerns about self-control and judgment, as Baltimore police and the Justice Department investigate the injuries that Gray, 25, sustained in police custody. Police have said Gray ran after making eye contact with Rice.

After a brief chase, Gray was arrested “without force or incident,” according to a report filled out by one of the officers, though witness video shows officers kneeling around Gray while he screams. After being transported in the back of a police van, Gray was found unable to talk or breathe and died one week later from spinal trauma.

It also was not immediately clear whether or when all of Rice’s guns were returned. The sheriff’s report said the weapons “should be returned back to owner pending determination of the (censored).” But Rice was accused in June 2012 of removing a semi-automatic handgun from the trunk of his personal vehicle and threatening McAleer, according to a complaint filed in 2013.

A police report about that June 2012 incident omitted any reference to allegations that Rice brandished a weapon but noted that officers who responded spent hours searching for Rice over concerns for his welfare.

Baltimore police were made aware of worries that Rice might pose a risk to himself or others, according to the April 2012 sheriff’s report. Sheriff’s deputies spoke to a police commander for the city’s western district, where Rice worked, who initially requested that deputies not fax the report with details about their experiences with Rice because he would make arrangements to pick up a copy of the report and Rice’s service weapon. The official, whose name is twice misspelled, appeared to be James Handley, a police major who now heads Baltimore police’s property division.

A police spokesman, Capt. John Kowalczyk, said he could not comment on matters that might involve an officer’s personnel file. Speaking generally of department procedure, Kowalczyk said that the department had overhauled its procedures for dealing with discipline and employees who need help with personal matters since the arrival of Police Commissioner Anthony Batts in September 2012.

“These are tremendous changes to how we hold people accountable,” Kowalczyk said. He credited the changes for what he said were recent declines in complaints about officer misconduct and an increase in the percentage of disciplinary actions sustained by the police department’s trial board.

An attorney representing Rice, Michael Davey, did not respond Thursday to phone calls from AP asking to discuss the sheriff’s report about Rice’s hospitalization or gun seizures. Earlier in the week, he dismissed the significance of Rice also being placed on administrative leave as a result of a complaint in January 2013 by McAleer’s then-husband, Andrew, a former Baltimore firefighter who said Rice threatened him and asked for a court protective order.

Those threat claims were initially reported by The Guardian newspaper.  Andrew McAleer, who did not respond to a note left at his last known address in court records, wrote to a judge that Rice had been transported in the earlier incident “to a local hospital for a mental health evaluation.” A judge granted the protective order but allowed it to expire after one week.

“People file peace orders all the time,” Davey said. “The only thing I’d comment on is, any issues similar to this had nothing to do with his ability to perform his duties as a Baltimore police officer.”

There’s no doubt about it, a police officer in a position of power and with a known mental illness could provoke untold harm if left to his own devices.
It looks like that might have happened here.
 
Sure, it’s speculation. But we know the culture of the Baltimore PD was one where excessive abuse wasn’t dealt with properly. So for Rice to have a known mental illness and be allowed to operate in that environment is a clear indication of trouble brewing.
