Baltimore Protesters - Go Peaceful
Going off script. Last night Camden Yards was surrounded by protesters who want "justice" for a black man who died in police custody. So far the police chief has achnowledged that his employees did not follow protocol. All 6 police officers have been suspended. The Mayor has asked for a transparent investigation. The investigation is on-going & no decision has been reached yet. I guess that's not good enough for protesters & the media covering Baltimore. My own opinion is that the media fans the flames of violent protests by waiting, almost encouraging, something non-peaceful to happen. So last night pictures emerge of protesters breaking car windows. Back in Missouri Michael Brown's family advocated for non-violence & community leaders helped bring calm to their situation. The same is not happening in Baltimore. Peaceful advocates in Baltimore, get out there please.
