There were two other incidents in Baltimore. One man was left a paraplegic and the other a quadriplegic. $39 Million was paid to the quadriplegic.
It is not so much about race as it is police brutality as an ingrained system in Baltimore.

3 gold stars for getting it. The fact FACT FACT that cops in Baltimore all seem to have been familiar with the term "rough ride" means it was a known policing tactic not something that just happened to Mr. Gray by accident. So the upper bureaucrats in the department issue a policy saying use the seatbelts and the street cops ignore it because they can, and they enjoy hearing the bodies rattle around in their wagon. No point taking Mr Gray directly from his point of arrest to the nearby precinct. No let's drive around a bunch so we can rough ride him extra long.
