A large group of demonstrators are taking to the streets in Washington to support Baltimore protesters seeking solutions in the police custody death of Freddie Gray.
News4s Jackie Bensen said people began gathering at the Gallery Place Metro location around 7 p.m. Wednesday. The group began moving on foot from Gallery Place toward the Wilson Building.
Metropolitan police are advising people to avoid the area near 7th Street Northwest at H Street. They said commuters should use New York Avenue, Massachusetts Avenue, 10th Street and 5th Street Northwest as alternate routes.
More demonstrators began at Dupont Circle, heading east along Massachusetts Avenue. Police are using a rolling road closure to divert traffic.
Bensen said the protesters chanted, All DC cops out of Baltimore. Gwen Crump, with MPD, told News4 that there are currently no MPD officers in Baltimore.
Bensen described the protest as peaceful, impassioned and coordinated.
More details as they become available.
Good God lol!!!
Anyone can allay my fears about the free trade agreement he supports? Make me sleep better tonight?
To ward ahead of time attacks that I’m a Cruz bashing rino, i love the guy, but i don’t understand the issue and am not financially savvy enough to know if it’s good or bad.
i hear freepers saying other governments will have power over our immigration laws, which i find impossible to believe that Ted would approve that. I also hear from some freepers that it is good for the economy. I’m lost.
Like i said, barring a travesty, one difference of opinion wont turn me off from him. I’m confused lol.
No rioters shot, in defense of business or home.
None of those who have incited the riots, shot or arrested.
So, the virus spreads.
Maybe it’s time for flyover country to secede
More White Man’s burden coming to DC.
Yep.
In all candor, I need to look into this. Almost nothing on this has surfaced at FR.
No concrete, no Starbucks, no feral problems, no, no, no......
Stay strong...they will come.
Breaking on FNC: WaPo report that Freddie Gray was attempting to harm himself while in Police van per another prisoner on board.
Yup. I just pointed that out to my folks when I spoke to them this evening.
I PROMISE i will sell everything in NYC and move to join if you guys do.
I remember a couple of years ago people in DC were accusing chain retailers of economic racism for refusing to open stores in their neighborhoods. I hope Baltimore puts an end to those charges.
I feel like, does it really matter either way? who else is there to vote for? Walker, but he doesn’t excite me. Of course in a general he has my vote.
Will CVS Corporation even bother to rebuild their burnt store in Baltimore's slums?
Cruz stands alone, and Walker flip flops like Romney.
they will open in Ferguson like that @#@# at Star#ucks said they would.
I hope not.
Good catch. Thank you for your post.
It will be a memorial to all business where NOT to put a business.
