Activists occupy Baltimore City Hall; oppose commissioner

BALTIMORE (AP) — Activists opposed to the permanent appointment of Baltimore’s interim police commissioner occupied City Hall on Wednesday night and told police they wouldn’t leave until the commissioner and mayor agreed to a list of their demands, including changes to police tactics and significant investment in education and social services.

Members of the Baltimore Bloc had begun shouting from the upper gallery of a conference room as a city council subcommittee prepared to vote for Kevin Davis as permanent commissioner. The full council will vote on the appointment Monday.

“All night, all day, we will fight for Freddie Gray!” the activists chanted amid calls to postpone the vote. “No justice, no peace!”

Can you imagine is some polite protesters who happened to be white were up there holding the Confederate Battle flag what would happen.

Does anyone think the protesters had to skip a day from work to protest?

I guess all these so-called upset people must have been buying their drugs from dear old departed freddy the drug hustler.
