Everybody is hell – bent on making the Baltimore riots about Freddie Gray and nothing else. This is a tidy and easy way of dismissing the whole thing with a feel-good ending. Just prosecute the cops, and Baltimore will magically become a happy place.
Pathetic and disgusting.

The discussion of Ferguson dissolved in the ridiculous narrative of traffic tickets. And now the story of Baltimore riots is being taken in the same direction.
