One Tweet Shows the Hypocrisy of the Media's Reaction to Riots in Baltimore
"On Saturday, over 2,000 protesters marched to Baltimore's
City Hall to protest the death of 25-year-old black man Freddie Gray.
Gray died on April 19 after suffering a spinal injury while in Baltimore
Police Department custody a week earlier. At some point between when
Gray was put into a police van and shackled and the time paramedics were called over half an hour later, something nasty happened.
According to Gray's family attorney, his spine was 80% severed at the neck. Deputy Police Commissioner Jerry Rodriguez admits that Gray gave up without the use of force.
Since then, thousands of people have taken to the streets
every day to demonstrate against the fate that befell Freddie Gray and
countless other people who have been killed by police in America. But on
Saturday night, a small minority of Baltimore's residents decided to
irresponsibly engage in property destruction and acts of violence — and
the media lost its mind."
