before today, i hadn’t heard of “rough rides,” and there’s a good chance you haven’t either. basically, a “rough ride” is a horrifying process in which ‘a handcuffed man or woman is put into the back of a police van or paddy wagon, without being buckled in or secured. The vehicle then drives recklessly, making sharp, dangerous turns and sudden movements in ways that throw the passenger violently around the vehicle.’

as of today, we now know that this is exactly what happened to Freddie Gray before he died. 

here’s the evidence: rather than take Freddie Gray the short 2 minute drive from the arrest site to the police station (see left), he was deliberately driven recklessly for over 40 minutes (see right) around Baltimore, handcuffed and in the back of a police van, with no seatbelt, until his spine broke.

the terrifying thing is that this seems to happen a lot. earlier today, two more people came forward to testify that they were put through rough rides at the hands of the Baltimore PD. a 43-year-old man was charged with ‘public urination’ and given a rough ride that resulted in a spine fracture that rendered him quadriplegic for the rest of his life. five years ago, a former Baltimore police officer admitted that rough rides are an “unsanctioned technique” in which police vans are driven to cause “injury or pain” to unbuckled, handcuffed detainees. rough rides are very much a Real Thing.

in case it needs repeating: Baltimore police deliberately drove recklessly with a cuffed, injured Freddie Gray in the back of a van with no belt – a 40 minute ride for a destination 2 minutes away. his spine was severed, and it killed him.

god, i hate teenage girls, they’re so vapid and awful

like, let’s go over a list of all the terrible things teenage girls have done

volunteered for the first line of defense at the battle of stalingrad to fight against nazis

invented science fiction

rode twice as far as paul revere, in the pouring rain and alone, to alert americans to the approaching british during the revolutionary war

pioneered the art of investigative journalism, and its use as a tool of social justice

turned the tide of the hundred years’ war

put themselves in the line of fire, often literally, in order to help end injustice

organized a student strike that helped spark brown v. board

hid from the nazis in an annex for two years and found such great poignancy in their experience that their ordinary day-to-day-thoughts have become world famous

led lewis and clark across the north american continent— while pregnant/raising a child

worked to desegregate schools in 1835, as well as to end slavery

helped found the aclu and fought for women’s suffrage; also, got arrested for being radical socialists
