Like Freddie Gray, Mitchell Brad Martinez, a Florida man, was arrested and took a ride in a police van Friday. Following the 8-minute ride, he came out comatose. Yesterday, after not recovering from a coma, he died of his injuries.
This is a story that reads more like a small-town lynching than a police arrest. A man dies. Nobody saw or heard anything. The sheriff says his deputies all acted properly.
The reason this story does not pass the smell test is that Mr. Martinez was a 35 year old healthy man. There is no legitimate reason why he would have gone in a coma. But social media photos show that he received injuries during the police ride:
A May 31 post has a photo of Martinez in a hospital bed and shows what appear to be abrasions circling his neck while he lies comatose. There also appears to be blood around his mouth.we are way behind the time for a revolution in America not one of violence and killing but one of voting. Hillary is calling the republican suppressors out by name she needs to push forward and the DOJ to do their jobs and petition the right wing leaning scotus to do theirs and strike down their erroneously egregious decision to cut critical parts of voter rights act a decision they surely saw the error of just two hours after they handed it down but having the majority vote on the republican side ignored it.

nearly 400 police killings and no convictions it's time to call America out on it's claim of greatest everything and see where it leads us or if we are still standing in the same spot next year. this next time is the time they will make it as hard as possible but better to endure that day than be stuck in that abyss for 4 years at least. recognize
