САЩ: Балтимор е готов за безредици, независимо, че обстановката в момента е спокойна

Large numbers of police officer kept patrolling the street as Baltimore remained in a state of emergency on Wednesday. The town has been the scene of riots as outraged residents took to the streets to protest over the death of Freddie Gray. The 25-year-old black man died of spinal injuries which reportedly were inflicted upon him while he was in police custody. A 22.00 curfew was introduced on Tuesday by Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake in the hope to prevent further clashes. Protests continued on Wednesday but remained largely peaceful. Around 1,000 additional police officers and almost 2,000 National Guard troops were also brought into Baltimore to prevent further clashes. However, a strong possibility of renewed tension remains, as a police report has been circulated which states that Gray was intentionally trying to injure himself while he was in the police van.
