In Baltimore recently there has been anger and outrage over the treatment of Freddie Gray while he was in police custody. Riots erupted in the streets but Tuesday night, which was calmer, is a "turning point" according to Maryland Governor, Larry Hogan. This could be credited to many things including a curfew and the National Guard which will most likely be there for the next week. A police report on the death of Freddie Gray is due Friday and many people hope that this will turn up new information, but if people disagree with the outcome the police say they will have it under control. Other investigations and an autopsy are underway with the hopes of finding new evidence.
This article talks about the role of the government in the investigations and riots. It if the executive branch's decision to send in the National Guard and the judicial branch will most likely hold a trial over Mr. Gray's death. I thought this article was very interesting, and I hope they find out what happened to Mr. Gray and stop the rioting.
