Freddie Gray, 25, died on April 19, a week after he was injured while being arrested by Baltimore police. Video of the arrest surfaced and protests broke out, beginning outside the police station Gray was brought to and spreading around Baltimore, and, eventually, to other cities. On April 27, the day of Gray’s funeral, riots erupted despite his family’s calls for order. Peaceful demonstrations followed later in the work week, which ended with Baltimore’s state’s attorney announcing criminal charges against all six officers involved in Gray’s arrest.
