Man detained during riots suing Baltimore police

BALTIMORE —A man is suing the Baltimore Police Department, claiming he was beaten and jailed for two days even though he did nothing wrong

The alleged incident took place at the center of the unrest in April after Freddie Gray's death.

Branden Owens' lawsuit claims police officers violated his rights when he tried to go to a grocery store and asked two questions along the way.

"I just saw a group of police officers with shields and helmets," Owens said.

Unaware of the brewing tensions, Owens said he walked passed Frederick Douglass High School and tried to talk to officers on a hill outside the Shopper's grocery store at Mondawmin Mall. He asked them if the store was open but got no response. Then, the group of officers charged past him, the last officer striking him.

My first thoughts is that he is a troublemaker. With all the police on the streets he says he was unaware that anything was going on. Give me a break.

Isn't he the one and only Dindu Nuffin III, son of Baltimore's prestigious Dindu Nuffin, Esq.

4:21 He's the one. And note the color of his Oriole cap. Does that send a ISIS message?

He should ask the crazy dude he put in Office, his homey Obama.

"Unaware of the brewing tensions,"? Yeah, yeah, yeah.... the Gray bunch got $6M from that jerk that calls herself the Mayor. If she was stupid enough to do that, maybe there's a couple of bucks in it for you.
