Quote:I agree that protesters shouldn't resort to violence, looting, and rioting.

 

But I'd say their main point isn't against police militarization, but police brutality.  Freddie Gray should not have ended up dead after being arrested for carrying a switchblade (or spring-assisted, it's unclear which) knife (which according to the police, was unbrandished) 


It's unfortunate that a few bad protesters can overshadow the message of a few good ones.  

The death of Gray was wrong. Everything else following it doesn't help the cause one bit, it makes it worse.

 

And it is really coming to light now that there are few wanting to protest in a legitimate manner. More are making this an opportunity to do horrific things. There's a bunch of terrorists in Baltimore right now.
