Tensions are high in Baltimore, Maryland right now as protestors are rioting and destroying cars over the recent death of Freddie Gray. Freddie died in police custody after sustaining a severe and ultimately fatal spinal cord injury. Officers involved in Gray’s arrest and transport have been suspended with pay pending the results of the police investigation. People want answers, and the Baltimore Police Department aren’t providing them.
Protestors were filled with outrage as they damaged cop cars, flooded the streets, and demanded answers today.
Fans were even asked to stay inside Oriole Park to keep them safe.

I know tensions are high right now with all of the police brutality going on in our country, and I do not condone the act of violent protests, but it’s only so many times people are going to let this keep happening without doing something about it. Police are getting away with murder and we’re sick of it. Everyone in Baltimore needs to stay safe and stop the violence.
