Protests that started out peacefully with thousands taking to the streets in downtown Baltimore turned violent on Saturday as some demonstrators turned into rioters – smashing downtown storefront windows, throwing rocks and bottles and damaging police cars.
Around 12 arrests were made as cops in riot gear broke up skirmishes.
25-year-old Freddie Gray died on April 19th from a spinal cord injury sustained during an arrest by Baltimore police. Officials have yet to explain exactly how Gray’s spine was injured, although police acknowledge that he should have received proper medical attention at the place of his arrest.

Where do you find justice in mindless violence and looting…you are unorganized, blindly hurting yourself and your community. Get them at their own game. Political action and organized civil activity is the only way to get the justice
It seems that black people are incapable of conducting a “peaceful” demonstration, judging by the examples we’ve had so far
Politicians are the problem. They try to get folks stirred up against each other. For you and me we are chewin the same dirt brother. Keep posting maybe folks will catch on.
Racist! Racist!
Ahh, the Hoodrat mentality in all its glory.

Obama is the Thug Father who instigates the violence and justifies the looting
These need to be stopped now!
One of few of Husseins accomplishments
When they start peaceful policing they might start peaceful protesting.
