The death of Freddie Gray rocked the nation last spring. Many were angry at the six Baltimore cops for not properly securing Freddie in the back of the police van, which ultimately led to his death a couple days later after suffering spinal injuries from riding in the truck.
According to the New York Daily News , those same six officers were honored last Thursday night at the right-wing Media Research Center’s annual black tie gala.
“In April of last year, six Baltimore police officers were transporting Freddie Gray to jail and he died en route,” Fox News contributor Deneen Borelli said to the audience, failing to mention that Freddie didn’t die en route but a couple days later from spinal injuries from riding in the back of the police van, handcuffed, and unsecured.
“Immediately someone made the accusation that Freddie Gray had been killed by the police,” Borelli said. “The accusation grew and grew – fed by the left, political agitators, and the national media – to advance the anti-police narrative. Soon there were riots in the street.”
Those six officers ended up getting a slap on the wrist from prosecutors because the charges against them were dropped and according to Borelli, they shouldn’t have been charged in the first place.
“These five men and one woman, all veteran police officers, were now in handcuffs, fighting for their lives, their careers destroyed, bankrupted, humiliated,” she said.
The officers were then called on stage where they were met with cheers and applause from the CLEARLY conservative audience.
“No one apologized for ruining their lives,” Borelli went on. “No one thanked them for their service or recognized their honor. Who will thank these officers? Who will thank all police officers … at a time they are being so vilified? Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, we will.”
