Riot orders have been given by Freddie Gray family have been given
The family of Freddie Gray thanked jurors for their service and asked the public to "remain calm" Wednesday after a judge declared a mistrial in the case of Baltimore police Officer William Porter.
Anytime someone asks for calm, anything but calm often follows.
Mayor Rawlings-Blake Issues Statement on Judge's Decision in the Criminal Trial of Officer Porter
"A few minutes ago, Judge Barry G. Williams declared a mistrial in the criminal case of Officer William Porter because the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict. It is now up to State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby to determine whether to further pursue criminal charges. This is our American system of justice. Twelve Baltimore residents listened to the evidence presented and were unable to render a unanimous decision. As a unified city, we must respect the outcome of the judicial process. In the coming days, if some choose to demonstrate peacefully to express their opinion, that is their constitutional right. I urge everyone to remember that collectively, our reaction needs to be one of respect for our neighborhoods, and for the residents and businesses of our city. In the case of any disturbance in the city, we are prepared to respond. We will protect our neighborhoods, our businesses and the people of our city."

That's a very poignant photo. It depicts urban apes tearing up everything in sight and virtually no idea why they are doing it.
