Baltimore Riots

Just hours after Monday’s funeral for Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man who died in police custody earlier this month, Baltimore experienced a half- day and night of riots and fires. Police (and their vehicles) were attacked. Businesses were looted. Buildings were burned. A state of emergency was declared and National Guard troops had to be called in. At least 15 officers were wounded, six of them seriously and more than two dozen people were arrested. In an effort to head off more violence, the Baltimore mayor imposed a curfew from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. daily starting tonight and lasting for at least a week. All of the attention and chaos has made Baltimore the latest national flash point for race relations and law enforcement (Michael Brown, Eric Garner).
