I don't know why you have to be so insistent that you know things you couldn't possibly know, Gunnar. But, it always make me laugh. So, thanks for that.
I've read your posts. I've rewatched the video. I've considered it all objectively. And, still, I do believe that Freddie Gray MIGHT have suffered a spinal injury before getting in the van. That COULD explain his pain and lack of mobility. That MAY also have contributed to his shortness of breath. It's a possibility.
Many types of spinal injuries cause numbness and immobility below the shoulders first (as you may have seen with some severely injured football players).
So, nothing you've posted invalidates the possibility that FREDDIE GRAY COULD HAVE SUFFERED A SPINAL INJURY BEFORE HE WAS PUT IN THE VAN.
I'm not saying that Gray's spine was certainly injured or severed before he was put in the van. I'm saying it's possible. And, as I noted before, he could indeed have asked for an inhaler, not all spinal injuries would prevent him from so doing.
I want to know the truth. I don't want the police department taking the blame for things that they didn't do. But, I also don't want them taking blame for lesser infractions in order to avoid responsibility for greater ones.
Here's some reading material to help you better understand why it's a valid open question as to whether Gray's spine was injured before the van ride, if you're interested: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national...-1.2205179
