In the year 1989, young twins a boy and girl were born both
two months premature. The boy was the young Freddie Gray. They were so little
and fragile that they had to be kept in a hospital under care for a couple
months till they were big enough to be taken out. During this time his mother
was able to give her testimony toward a civil lawsuit on lead exposure. She had
told the reporter at the time that her two children were born she was not able
to read and had never even gone to high school. She had also admitted that in
her 20’s she had used heroine, this had lead people to believe that she had
used drugs during her pregnancy. Quite a few years ago when Freddie and his
sister had started to go to a school full of children kind of like them such as
being born premature and then there life being spent being exposed to lead poisoning
from the paint on the walls in there cheaper homes from where they live. At there
home. When Freddie started to go to school they say it didn’t take long for it
to show up that he has attention defict disorders, he also had impulse control
problems. He has not started out his life in the best way from being where he
is today. In the years that he was in school he had not managed to learn much
had was suspended from school a few times and then he also had a decent amount
of run ins with the police. He had been in trouble a lot by the time he had
finally turned 18. I think that because of his record though he didn’t deserve
what he got the day he died. Officers like are the reason white people are
being called racist. He never deserved to get beat up like that from what the
officers think. He didn’t seem like he was going to hurt them he was just
running. After they found no drugs on him but just a knife they could have just
let him go and taken the knife.
So this did not answer my question from my blog
