Baltimore Riots: Race, Rage, and Looting in 'Charm City'

The Fiscal Times Staff  // 

A protester walks through the smoke of burning Baltimore buildings set ablaze by rioters, as a police armored car drives past, during clashes in Baltimore, Maryland April 27, 2015. Baltimore erupted in violence on Monday as hundreds of rioters looted stores, set buildings on fire and injured at least 15 police officers following the funeral of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man who died after he was injured in police custody. Maryland Governor Larry Hogan declared a state of emergency and activated the National Guard as firefighters battled blazes set by looters.
