The police need to request civilians to move on in Baltimore. Young people are letting out of school and there should never be problems of confrontation with these young people. They have done nothing wrong and are walking into areas the police are targeting as problems.
If riots are to stop the police providing 'Rough Rides' to people. Not only stop them, but, place them on disciplinary suspension. The Baltimore Police Chief needs to do that now.

Hundreds of youths outside a mall (click here) in northwest Baltimore are clashing violently with police in riot gear, throwing rocks, bricks and bottles at the officers.
Baltimore police say on Twitter that several officers have been injured. Officers are using pepper-spray to keep the protesters back....
Looting is not a death sentence.
No reforms, suspensions. This is real easy. The many bad apples are rotten to the core if they can't value life and live within their limits as police officers. There is no reform for police abuse and taking the law into their own hands. A vigilante can wear a uniform, too.
Officers do not have to be heroes today. There is too much turbulence in the people to warrant strong arm tactics. These is not unjustified turbulence.
Communities are not kept safe at the cost of other members of a community. The mayor is going to have her hands full to actually invoke reform that will end the violence against citizens by uniform police officers.
Bring in the National Guard if there is violence within the community. It would be best to remove the police from the scene. The National Guard was welcome in Ferguson. The Governor needs to recognize the need of a community turned upside down by deadly police tactics and the tolerance of same by at the very least the Chief of Police. Fatal and maiming tactics of those in custody are not part of an effective police department.
Baltimore needs the National Guard. The police are the wrong people to place on the street.
The fatal injury of Mr. Gray occurred in custody. What will the reaction be to any police force attempting to bring about their own idea of calm? Restraint is not going to work. The people fear the police. It will only escalate.
The community has identified the problems of what caused the death of Mr. Gray. They won't allow it to happen again. The streets of Baltimore are out of control and the National Guard is necessary. The community knows the problems with police work in the city. Nothing the police does will end their fears or their actions. Everyone can point to the idea these trouble makers that have come from out of the area. That might be the case, but, that doesn't mean it will end because the police are turning out in large numbers. Why risk police officers lives? It doesn't make sense.
Denying the problem and those that ALLOW it won't make the fear of the citizens go away. Effectively addressing their fears based IN FACT will begin to end the fears of the community. Mr. Gray is dead. What else needs to be known?
The religious leaders are correct in calling for calm, but, the current governing authority, including the police, have done nothing concrete to provide the community with peace of mind. Attending the funeral was the right thing to do, but, it can't stop there.
The family is right to speak out for calm in the name of Mr. Gray, however, that is only respected when the community receives respect for their knowledge demanding action.
"No justice, no peace." The demonstrations of fear on the streets of Baltimore didn't happen until someone died. That is a fact. The mayhem is a direct result of community knowledge and fear because of the death that validated their knowledge.
The rise in violence is directly related to police retribution over community organizing on social media to carry out demonstrations against the current administration. I find it rather incredible that a mayor and council could not act to end such illegal practices as 'rough rides.' It doesn't make sense. A community is not that militant in the USA. This violence started after the fact. Such practices as 'rough rides' are illegal. Just that simple. There is no question as to what happens next and that means people will lose their jobs.
A young black man died at the hand of police carrying out TOLERATED illegal practices. Where is everybody to end the practices that killed a young man that is a citizen of Baltimore. The problem is not going away. That isn't obvious?
I wish them all a lot of luck.
