freddie gray


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.
