There was a line there. On one side of it was blue and on one side of it black.
On one side, somewhere in the crowd, were the friends and family of many of the thirty some odd people who died in police custody since 2010 in Baltimore. Thirty people. How many people had they touched in that crowd?
On the other side, somewhere in the carefully drawn up lines, were many of those who had actually participated in killing those people.
We're surprised there were riots?
