Scary information...
In Baltimore City (Maryland) there is a lockdown going on. The entire city is in absolute chaos. There was a death of a 25 year old male, Freddie Gray, who was injured while in police custody but died while in a coma in a hospital. There was a protest and then the protest turned into a riot and that escalated and now three gangs have teamed up to take down the police and take over the city. They are the Black Guerilla Family, Bloods, and Crips.
I really hope something is done very soon to get everything back under control. I am freaking out. I have friends who live in the city area, where everything is happening, I worked in that area of the city. This hits extremely close to home. Something needs to be done.
The mayor of the city is not doing anything about it. She has told city police to stand down and let these rioters do what they want. Several businesses in the area have closed early and I don't blame them. I think the mayor really needs to get her crap straight. I believe that specialty forces need to be called in, because this riot is not ok. Nothing good is going to come out of a riot, destroying and looting places and potentially harming innocent people. It is not ok.
