In Baltimore, Maryland, police in riot gear fired tear gas and smoke grenades overnight as hundreds of people defied a 10 p.m. curfew to continue protesting the death of Freddie Gray. Gray died of spinal injuries a week after an arrest where witnesses said he was bent like a pretzel. He was accused of making eye contact with a police lieutenant, then running away. His family said his spine was 80 percent severed at the neck. Overnight at least 10 people were arrested amid relative calm, following the previous night’s uprising, which led to more than 200 arrests, dozens of cars set on fire, and many buildings badly damaged. The overnight curfew was enforced by 3,000 police and National Guard troops. On Monday, President Obama called for “soul searching” over police killings but criticized the previous night’s destruction.

President Obama: “There’s no excuse for the kind of violence that we saw yesterday. It is counterproductive. When individuals get crowbars and start prying open doors to loot, they’re not protesting, they’re not making a statement, they’re stealing.”
