Freddy should have been at home in bed resting and recovering from recent major operation instead of manufacturing and distributing drugs on the streets and resisting arrest. Freddy has a criminal record pages long for manufacturing and distributing controlled dangerous drugs that were cocaine crack heroine etc. along with many assault charges, gun charges, breaking and entering and the list goes on since he was 18 years old. (Juvenile records are sealed.) Look at some of this on www.mdjudiciarycasesearch. You will also see where he was trying to cash in his monthly structured settlement for his spinal injury payments to one lump sum through Peachtree Funding, He could have easily fallen in the paddy wagon from the slippery bench to the floor or twisted his fused spine to reopen his recently fused damaged spine. Also, the police that arrested him were also black, not white. Why are people destroying their own homes and revenue when they don't know the whole story? Mostly because it's a good reason and timing to loot and get new shoes and stolen goods? You got it! None of the police officers that arrested Freddy had a history of police brutality. Freddy was a dangerous career felon with a damaged spine and neck that was supposed to be healing a week and a half after surgery, not running the streets committing felonies and resisting arrest."

If this is correct the Baltimore protestors should be ashamed. peaceful protestors included.

What do I expect them to do? Self destruct of course. Burn down where their mothers work

The media reported everything. Both good and bad

Let's take a guess what political party was represented in the streets of Baltimore...Republicans or Democrats?

Let's guess who the protestors voted for president in 2008 and 2012?

Let's just take a wild guess...

i doubt too many of them voted, or care which party is in office. People riot when they have no other voice. They riot out of frustration. And the mainstream news seems pretty selective to me on this.

This is insanity.

Their frustration is based on false narratives that they have all been brainwashed to believe since the time they were old enough to talk.

The peaceful protestors are frustrated. The thugs are simply criminals who look for any excuse to pillage and riot and steal and destroy because they have no sense of morality.

I'm glad to see photos and videos of the black men standing in front of the police line to act as a buffer between the protestors and the police. I read last night's curfew was mostly followed, with the exception of approximately 100 troublemakers, many of whom were white.

There was also a few white left wing agitators in Ferguson.
