Kevin Moore
filmed the police brutally arresting Freddie Gray. That footage went viral and
began all of the protests that have been flooding the streets of Baltimore and
sweeping the nation ever since. Now, after claiming the police had been
harassing and intimidating him after he went public with the footage, Kevin
Moore and two members of Cop Watch – Chad Jackson and Tony White – have been
arrested tonight in Baltimore.
Chad was in
Baltimore from We Cop Watch Ferguson, “to help folks on the ground in Baltimore
with Cop Watch efforts,” according to Jacob Crawford of Cop Watch.
Moore
acknowledged on Saturday that he is the man who filmed the arrest, but he was
concerned that his name and image had been released. No sooner than they were,
the harassment began.
“What is so
important that you have to plaster my picture over the Internet? I’ve already
spoken,” Moore explained.
Shortly
after Moore filmed his arrest, Gray, 25, suffered a spinal cord injury in
police custody on April 12th, and died a week later.
Moore
explained that he had already spoken at length with two detectives in the
Police Department’s Office of Internal Oversight and given them his video of
the incident. But the police posted his photo and told the public that he was
“wanted for questioning” and asked people to identify him.
But they
already knew who he was. What were they trying to prove, or was this all about
harassing him?
Tonight,
the Baltimore Police answered that question for us. They arrested Kevin Moore
who was with two members of Cop Watch.
Moore
explained that Gray was a friend of his and he has to speak up.
What can
you to do help Moore, Chad Jackson and Tony White who were arrested with him?
Call the
Baltimore Police Department at (410) 545-8122 and demand that they release
these innocent men now! Then help us SPREAD THE WORD!
