BALTIMORE BEDLAM: OFFICERS INJURED, RIOTING ON STREETS
X X X
LOOTINGS… POLICE CARS SET NO FIREThe scenes from Baltimore today are troubling to watch for those who have called for peace after the death of Freddie Gray in police custody .. And for those who live in Baltimore or even vistors who have come to love the city …and for Americans who want the rule of law but also justice for all to prevail for all regardless of race or class difference..
Freddie Gray was arrested for looking at police.. And when he was in their custody his spine was severed.. But it did not begin there.. Race relations and tension in not only Baltimore but many other places have been brewing for some time.. Tension has been boiling tonight just as a funeral for Gray was ending..
The justice department is looking into it..
Lynch will now be on the case, though both she and her boss avoided media questions on the Baltimore riots today.
So tonight cars are burning, businesses owned by hard working people stripped of their livelihood.. Liquor stores ransacked.. High schoolers sending around memes of tales of a 3pm purge.. Rocks thrown, gangs meeting up with protesters, police injured, and the world is watching.
The events of 1968 .. And now 2015.
Th sun has set on the city of Baltimore now..
The only lights seen are that of cameras from media glare, dim street lights, and fires set by the hands of rioters destroying their own city..
Pray for calm to prevail. Because the alternative is tragic..
