You can't be arrested just because you've been arrested in the past, you friggin moron. That doesn't constitute due cause. On the contrary, that constitutes harassment. The America you know is a lot more fascist than the America that actually exists.
You're right, the America of reality actually considers certain criminal activity to be crimes. Someone who's already had 18 arrests being picked up for possession once again doesn't constitute due cause? Seems pretty unlikely to me that career criminals would choose to return to their old habits.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

They found a knife clipped inside his pants packet — the knife was not a switchblade and is lawful under Maryland law, she said.
The officers then restrained Gray in a “leg lace,” and held him down until the transport van arrived, while he “flailed and screamed.”
The officers failed to find probable cause for Gray’s arrest, Mosby said. When the police transport van arrived, he was placed into the wagon driven by Officer Caesar B. Goodson, but without a seatbelt.<p style="font-size:1024px">HTML is disabled in signatures </p>

The only violent crimes on the list of arrests are two "second degree assaults" which is defined as:
Second Degree Assault
Less serious than first degree assault, though still considered a serious offense is second degree assault. You could be facing this charge if you are accused of any general assault that does not classify under the rules of First Degree Assault.
In other words, if you touch someone else in an unwanted manner that could be perceived as unwanted, offensive, or potentially harmful (whether or not it causes injury), you could be charged with this offense.
Generally, assault in the 2nd degree is a misdemeanor though it carries a maximum potential sentence of 10 years. However, if the assault was committed on a law enforcement or probation officer, that assault charge will be entered as a felony.
He touched someone in an unwanted way. Whatever he did was not as bad as what the police ended up doing to him. Oh, he also sold drugs and he gambled. Why is Ben trying to prove he's a "thug"?

So, whether or not his death was an accident (I really don't believe the BPD actually wanted him to die, I simply believe they didn't care enough to do what they needed to to prevent it):
1. He was arrested for something that wasn't a crime
2. He was a small-time criminal guilty of things that merit relatively minor sentences
3. He died while in police custody
What happened is deplorable.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?
