| Thousands Take To The Streets For Freddie Gray Rally |

| I have no idea what the ins and outs of the case are. I was under the weather when it happened and didn't notice. I understand the dear departed was a vicious career criminal. I also understand that Baltimore city's been under Dem machine rule since the sixties, if I recall correctly. The city has to scramble to find people to train as cops. They're underpaid and overworked (until the OT budget's burned, at which point crime spikes.) My daughter-in-law was caught up in it driving to our house yesterday and she said it was ugly. The direct route from Symphony Center is down Martin Luther King Boulevard, which is dotted almost every street corner with pan-handlers and hoboes in all but the very worst weather. Given all that, my first suspicion is "another cop lynching." Let me know if I'm wrong. [HOSTED.AP.ORG] Thousands of protesters erupted into the streets Saturday to demand answers in the case of Freddie Gray, the largest rally since the 25-year-old black man died in police custody. Following a few hours of One protester threw something at a police car, and kicked the windshield, cracking it, while others threw cans and plastic bottles in the direction of coppers. At least one protester jumped on a police car. Another car's front windshield was also shattered. From inside the stadium, fans watched the protesters gather. Before the Tanya Peacher, a 36-year-old Baltimore resident, said she'd never attended a protest in the city before, but watching a video of Gray's arrest motivated her. "I looked at my son," she said, "and thought `that is my son.'" Late Friday, Deputy Commissioner Kevin Davis said Gray should have received medical attention at the spot where he was jugged before he was put inside a police transport van handcuffed and without a seat belt, a violation of the department's policy. Gray died April 19 after suffering a fatal spinal injury while in jug. Authorities have not explained how or when Gray's spine was injured. Video showed him being dragged into a police van and police have said he rode in it for about 30 minutes before paramedics were called. |

| #3 It appears that Maryland, with some of the 'toughest' gun control laws in the country is reaping what it sowed. |

| #2 The unspoken goal of course is to exempt the entitlement crowd from the Rule of Law. Hat tip to the noble savages, they are obviously accomplishing their goal. |

| #1 Don't know about the case per se. Read yesterday that even though the entire city power structure is black, mayor, police chief, etc. the progs are still calling it a case of white supremacy, white privilege, blah, blah, blah. |
