There were only so many Death and Injuries at the hands of Police Officers until this sort of thing was eventually going to happen. Shame they are taking it out on the wrong people like idiots.

The whole thing just makes me sick. Seriously, a black guy dies in the hands of a cop = riot. Repeat in a couple months.

Get over it. You're not apart of his personal life.

I have good friends who live in Baltimore and they're currently touring America right now. I'm seeing them next week, glad they left before that **** happen.

Part of me wants to see the civil disobedience side of this escalate.
Looting,violence and destruction just no but the protests i hope grow and spread across America and beyond because otherwise it is just a constant cycle and nothing will ever change. This is a real problem and it needs to be dealt with.

I tell you one thing for sure even if it was because of a issue i was completely apathetic to if a curfew was enforced in my town i would defy it without a second thought. I cant believe how accepting people are of seeing the military deployed against their own citizens it is frightening how easily it seems to be accepted.

..this is so worrying, what I think the shame of it is with things like this is the focus becomes on the rioting and not where it should be with prejudices in the police force, peaceful protests would keep that focus where it should be..but yeah, these things do happen when people feel helpless and injustices and then there will always be others who will 'jump on a bandwagon' just because it's there...and probably the ones who incite the most destruction ...

Saw this video on Facebook and this guy hit the nail on the head.

(I've found the Youtube version so that everyone can watch)

What a guy, he's totally right. I haven't seen that video, I will have a look although from the sound of it it's horrific.
I am so sorry, of course you will be terrified a the thought of your loved ones being involved in a situation like this. It is a race issue but as he says the protest was hijacked by those with a totally different agenda.
I really hope the real issue is addressed and the community can recover from this peacefully together.

Basically in the video, you can hear what sounds like arguing, then all of a sudden, people start throwing garbage cans at the crowds of people from a Baseball game. There's one man who sees someone throw glass at his wife, he gets mad and walks towards the person who threw the glass to ask him what his problem is, and then he gets jumped on by about 6 of this guys friends...

then it shows all the things being thrown at the crowd and you see a girl in a wheelchair cowering while a metal red bull drink stand is thrown in her direction. You see a tiny glimpse of some black people holding their arms up, trying to protect the people who are hiding (that part made me tear up a little)

It ends with the person filming hiding in some sort of drinks bar/canteen and theres about 100 people and someone who's been knocked unconscious is brought in with people screaming and asking what's going on.
