A
mother has been applauded after she showed up on the Baltimore riot scene to smacking
her teenage son for joining the riot. The mom identified her son watching from
the TV and went after him even though he was wearing a black mask that covered
much of his face.
The riots broke out blocks from where the
funeral of Freddie Gray took place and spread through much of west Baltimore.
Gray
had died a week after he suffered the spinal injury due to the transportation
in a police van without restraint when he was arrested for running from officers
on April 12. A lawyer for Gray's family says his spine was 80 percent severed
at the neck while in custody.
A
state of emergency was declared by Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, a Republican,
who sent in the National Guard, and a curfew was imposed in the majority black
city from Tuesday night, with exceptions for work and medical emergencies
It
was the most violent protest against police treatment of African Americans
since arson and gunfire in Ferguson, Missouri, last year.
