The NYT is on it for Baltimore protests
Scenes of Chaos in Baltimore as Thousands Protest Freddie Gray’s Death
BALTIMORE — A largely peaceful protest over the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man who suffered a spinal cord injury in police custody, gave way to scattered scenes of chaos here on Saturday night, as demonstrators smashed a downtown storefront window and damaged police cruisers, while officers broke up skirmishes and made arrests near Camden Yards.
Hours earlier, a racially diverse and mostly calm crowd of demonstrators marched through the streets, clogging intersections, carrying signs and shouting, “All night, all day, we’re gonna fight for Freddie Gray!” Some had come from New York and Ferguson, Mo., and authorities here had warned against “outside agitators” coming to stir up trouble.

See that? The racially diverse crowd earlier was all polite and nice but Now, NOW, we have A PROBLEM, and that PROBLEM is not being nice and is not being racially diverse.
I am so glad the NYT is on it.
