Baltimore Riots

On April 12 2015 Freddie Gray was arrested by Baltimore police and sustained injuries during his arrest. These injuries caused him to go into a coma, only to pass away six days later. Before his arrest friends and family claim he was in good health. After being arrested it was found he had injuries to his neck and spine sustained while being transported in a police vehicle. This incident sparked riots in Baltimore that lasted until April 28.  On May 1, 2015, Gray's death was ruled to be a homicide and legal charges were issued against the six officers involved in the incident, including that of second-degree murder. Sadly it took almost a whole city rioting to bring justice to this unfortunate incident. These riots were not the true intention from citizens of Baltimore. This was originally starting off as a peaceful protest involving high school students. Unfortunately this plan did not go as well as planned. Students began throwing bricks and rocks at mall windows sparking the riots to grow out of control.
