Curfew ends
Mosby announces she is ending the city wide night curfew that has been in effect since last Tues.
My goal has always been to not have the curfew in place a single day longer than was necessary. I believe we have reached that point today. A lot of the unrest has been settled.
‘Baltimore is burning’
Clinton reacts to the Baltimore riots.
It is heartbreaking. The tragic death of another young African-American man. The injuries to police officers. The burning of peoples’ homes and small businesses. We have to restore order and security. But then we have to take a hard look as to what we need to do to reform our system.
Condemns violence
Obama condemns the violence in Baltimore and expressed condolences to the family of Gray.
There is no excuse for the kind of violence we saw yesterday. It is counter-productive…People are stealing and damaging their own communities and that is no statement on police brutality or any other kind of issue.
Criticizes Obama on riots
Trump criticizes Obama for not being able to control the situation in Baltimore.
Our great African American President hasn't exactly had a positive impact on the thugs who are so happily and openly destroying Baltimore!

President Obama, you have a big job to do. Go to Baltimore and bring both sides together. With proper leadership, it can be done! Do it.

Reacts to Baltimore riots
Cedric reacts to the worsening situation in Baltimore due to riots.
Hate to see Baltimore going thru what my hometown of Ferguson went thru. Change is necessary, but violence and destruction is not the answer

Curfew imposed
Mayor Blake declares a week long curfew from 10 p.m to 5 a.m in the city due to riots.
What we see tonight that is going on in our city is very disturbing. Too many people have spend generations building up this city for it to be destroyed by thugs who, in a very senseless way, are trying to tear down what so many have fought for.
