They don't care.
They're not the ones protesting police brutality and demanding answers regarding Freddie Gray's deaths. They're just thugs looking to wreak havoc and profit from the situation, IMO.
There are a lot of good cops (I still think so) who get judged guilty by association for the acts of thug cops. And, there are a lot of peaceful protestors who get judged guilty by association for the acts of thugs among them. The positive acts of the good cops and the peaceful protestors sadly get overshadowed by the bad acts of the thugs. Anyway, I hope last night was the end of the riots.
I had to get up really early this morning and have the morning news on (didn't turn on the tv yesterday). It's all about Baltimore. I saw a video of the mother in the yellow shirt in full action; she wasn't having any of that shit. The Police Commissioner praised her.
What happened to Freddie Gray in that van? I think the mayor and the Chief of PD have been good about making statements and promising to get answers. I know there are investigations underway. But, I gotta say, it's frustrating as hell that three weeks later they either don't know or aren't saying what their employees claim went down. That frustration has gotta be through the roof in Baltimore and now the peaceful protestors have to deal with the frustration of having their cause set back and their city rioted by a bunch of idiots too.
