“Baltimore is Burning” was uttered on various cable networks Monday and Tuesday as protest in Baltimore over the mysterious death of 25-year-old African American Freddie Gray turned into violent riots that set many buildings and businesses on fire in the Maryland city.
Governor Larry Hogan has signed A State of Emergency and called in the national guard. A curfew has also been set from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. ET Tuesday into Wednesday.
“This is one of our darkest days as a city, and I know we’re much better than this,” the Mayor of Baltimore Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said to the press Monday night.
