WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — On Monday, mass protests against police brutality turned into riots in Baltimore, following the funeral of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old African American who died of spinal injuries while in police custody.

“Funny how the system calls for non-violence once those who experience violence daily start fighting back,” Occupy Wall Street concluded.
