They are just people that are looting and breaking stuff for any reason. The police should be alot rougher with people that act like that. It's not ok or cool to loot and break stuff for whatever reason. That's not "peaceful protesting".

haha, yea that is the issue here and not that the Police arrested a man for running when he spotted an officer (no warrent or anything, they took him down for running), possibly injured him severely during the arrest and then put him in a van with his hands cuffed behind his back and gave him a "rough ride" which severed his spinal cord killing the man

I'm glad you have the full story!  As far as I know, virtually no information had been released about what actually happened.  Of I had to guess, I'd say someone put their knee on his neck while they handcuffed him.

this isn't a first time thing, several people were paralyzed or died (from severed spinal cords) during rough rides/nickel rides in Baltimore over the last decades - verified in court
