US protesters march toward police dept. in Baltimore Maryland


Protesters in the U-S state of Maryland have held yet another rally, demanding justice for a black man who died of a spinal injury he sustained during arrest.

The protesters started their rally from the street where Freddie Gray was arrested in Baltimore toward the city's police department. They were carrying placards bearing the message Black Lives Matter. The Justice Department has opened an investigation into Gray's death which once again sparked angry protests over police brutality across the country. The 25-year-old Gray was arrested on April 12 and died a week later. His autopsy showed that he died from a severe injury to his spinal cord. Police suspended the six officers involved and pledged to properly investigate the case.
