The officers involved in Freddie Gray’s arrest and subsequent death last April were honored at a black-tie affair in Washington, D.C., last week.
Media Research Center (MRC), a right-wing news blog whose mission is “exposing and combating liberal media bias,” according toits website, honored three of the six officers: Lt. Brian Rice, Edward Nero and Gary Miller. The other three officers did not attend the event. According to The Daily Beast, the officers were introduced to booming applause.
Deneen Borelli, a conservative author (known for writing “Blacklash: How Obama and the Left are Driving Americans to the Government Plantation”), columnist and frequent guest on Fox News, introduced the officers and inaccurately recounted the events surrounding Gray’s death.
