Freddie’s Death
Freddie Gray’s death sparked riots around the US especially in predominantly Black American communities in 2014 calling for the death sentence to all officers involved namely Officer Garrett Miller,Sgt Alicia White, Officer William Porter and Lt. Brian Rice who was the team lead in the arrest.

Freddie Gray’s death was caused by an injury to the spinal cord while he was being transported by the said officers because he was no fastened for his safety while on handcuffs.

Treats have been pouring in on social media mainly from blacks around the country who feel they have been “robbed of justice” and are determined to take matters into their own hands.

Currently all four are in protective custody pending when tensions calm.
