Baltimore

An hour ago.

Man shot in the back by police near the corner of Pennsylvania and W. North Ave, the scene of numerous rallies and protests since the death of Freddie Gray.



Things have not gotten that much better it seems.

UPDATE:  Baltimore police are claiming they didn't shoot anyone, that the victim had a gun and it discharged. Nobody wounded or killed. The victim, they say, was taken to a hospital as a precaution. Crowds of witnesses don't believe it.

DeRay is there and livetweeting:  https://twitter.com/deray

UPDATE: DeRay is apparently NOT there. He is livetweeting information, pictures and video he's receiving from others who are there. For what it's worth, I don't know where he is...

Meanwhile, last night a man was shot and killed in Albuquerque's South Valley by a Bernalillo County deputy. The sheriff's office isn't saying much about it, except that the deceased, Billy Grimm, 44 and the grandfather of ten, "brandished" a firearm and refused to obey commands. The witnesses are speaking out, telling quite a different story. KOB's is the most detailed.

    1. It will stop, but not before a lot more people are shot and killed.
