Baltimore in chaos after man dies in police custody!

Attorney General Loretta Lynch, in her first day on the job, said she
would send Justice Department officials to the city in coming days. A
week-long, daily curfew was imposed beginning Tuesday from 10 p.m. to 5
a.m., the mayor said, and Baltimore public schools announced that they
would be closed on Tuesday. At least 15 officers were hurt, including
six who remained hospitalized late Monday, police said. Two dozen people
were arrested.
But Gray's family has disagreed with the whole issue saying that violence is not a way to honor him.
"I think the violence is wrong," Grays twin sister, Fredericka Gray, said late Monday. "I don't like it at all."
Some of the residents are very bitter about the situation in the city while gang members are using the opportunity to loot and break into stores.
Kevin Johnson, a 53-year-old resident of the area, said the
building was to have been earmarked for the elderly. Donte Hickman,
pastor of a Baptist church that has been helping to develop the center,
shed tears as he led a group prayer near the firefighters who fought the
blaze."My heart is broken because somebody obviously didn't understand that we were for the community, somebody didn't understand that we were working on behalf of the community to invest when nobody else would,"
Rawlings-Blake, a lifelong resident of the city also added, "Too many people have spent generations building up this city for it to be destroyed by thugs, who in a very senseless way, are trying to tear down what so many have fought for, tearing down businesses, tearing down and destroying property, things that we know will impact our community for years,"
