We still don’t know what happened to Freddie Gray in Baltimore earlier this month, aside from the general agreement that he died in police custody with a nearly severed spine. The city’s leaders have been out in front of this, delivering information to the public as it comes in and investigating every aspect of the incident. There is clearly the possibility that there was police misconduct – or at least negligence in prompt medical care and safety precautions – going on, but the facts are still being gathered. Following yet another press conference where the mayor and the police commissioner brought citizens and the local clergy up to date at the end of the week, protesters delivered their response. We’re going to shut this city down.
Protesters vowed to “shut down” the city by marching through the streets and snarling traffic. The president of a black lawyers’ group predicted thousands of people would turn out for the demonstration, when good weather is forecast and the Baltimore Orioles host the Boston Red Sox.
“Things will change on Saturday, and the struggle will be amplified,” said Malik Shabazz of Black Lawyers for Justice. “It cannot be business as usual with that man’s spine broken, with his back broken, with no justice on the scene.”
Shabazz has demanded the arrest of six officers involved in the arrest of Gray, who died Sunday a week after suffering a spinal injury while in police custody.
The officers are suspended with pay and under criminal investigation by their own department. The U.S. Justice Department is reviewing the case for any civil rights violations, and Gray’s family is conducting their own probe.

And flip the lever to "full auto"
I wonder if these blacks kill a couple of innocent white folks, will the media notice...
Addendum: Shoot on sight any violent protesters. Free fire zones for anyone legally carrying, too.
We would be better off for it.
They won't be "blacks", they'll be "teens".
I felt like my life was in danger.
You could not pay me to walk in Baltimore. My life is to valuable.
Looks like a simple case of black-on-RAT.
Yes, their food is terrible.

So ridiculously tired of racist crap such as this. Freddie was a career criminal with multiple upcoming court appearances, over 20 arrests for drug related charges in 7 years, and was in a neighborhood known for drug dealing carrying an illegal weapon. How do you spin that into police brutality?
He ran from the police…why? His own family refuses to speak police representatives who’ve made numerous attempts to communicate with them, but their mouths are wide open yapping about something none of them even witnessed the moment a camera is in their faces. His own family knows very well dear Freddie was not cutting through that area on his way home from Bible study and had the knife so he could whittle something pretty for his beloved mama.
Seriously, these protesters want to shout about change and equality, but do you see any of them applying to the police academy to balance out the race ratio within the police force? Running for public office? Communicating with officials to work on the changes they picket for when there is no crisis to rant about? No, because in their ignorance they find it easier to blame everyone but themselves for why change cannot occur. And I do feel sorrow for Freddie; based on his performance for the cell phone cameras he missed his calling as an actor. Wait, do I hear some local pastor telling us Freddie had recently found God and was turning his life around…
Put a fence around it and change it into a Theme Park called LITTLE AFRICA.
Why do we never seen Asians rioting, or Hispanics rioting, or Whites rioting??
nice.
They more they riot... they bigger we will win in 2016!
Because they need Asians and Whites to work and pay taxes in order that they can continue their lives of luxury. Also, they need Hispanics to vote for them so they can live their lives of luxury
Yet he could not bother to vote
He voted against cloture, after which everyone knew it was a done deal. He made his opposition to Lynch clear as crystal. I don’t think anyone need question where he stood on this.
You forgot to add that Freddie was an aspiring rapper and was going to attend junior college in the fall.
I read posts through 33. Does anyone know HOW this thug got his back broke while in Police Custody?
That seems relevant. This question assumes of course that his back WAS broke?
Tea Party's fault!
“Put a fence around it and change it into a Theme Park called LITTLE AFRICA.”.
You beat me to it. The fence idea would be great, when they have stolen everything from the “non-blacks”, the street rats can start stealing from each other. Yes, that would be a good circus.
Great post!
