Protestors tried to have Orioles-Red Sox game called off
Protestors who were expressing their outrage over the death of Freddie Gray throughout the streets of Baltimore on Saturday were looking to force a cancellation of the Baltimore Orioles’ game against the Boston Red Sox.
Gray, a 25-year-old African-American man, died in a hospital on Friday a week after suffering a spinal injury that allegedly occurred while he was being arrested. Baltimore police officers pinned Gray to the ground after a foot chase on April 12, and he was reportedly put into a police van and driven to the station. Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony Batts admitted on Friday that Gray was not properly buckled while he was being transported.
