(International Business Times) Large crowds converged on War Memorial Plaza near Baltimore City Hall, and demonstrators rallied on the streets of the city on Saturday, a day after six police officers were charged in the death late last month of Freddie Gray, which spurred protests, looting and burning in Baltimore. The Saturday demonstration was billed as a “victory rally” after Friday’s charges.
“We’re hoping that this seminal moment is resonating with everyone around,” said the Rev. Alwin Gwynn, a Baltimore pastor, on CNN. He encouraged open dialogue between police and the community after Gray died of spinal injuries a week after he was arrested and put in a police van. Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby claimed Gray, a 25-year-old black man, was unlawfully arrested, and a medical examiner ruled his death as a homicide.
