Every 28 Hours (4/19/15): A week ago, 27-year old Freddie Gray was arrested for an undetermined (and probably imagined) offense by the Baltimore police. After putting him into the back of a van, they beat him to the point of damaging 3 vertebrae in his back and damaging his voice box, amongst other injuries. Today, Freddie succumbed to his severe injuries and passed away. Baltimore police beat a man to death– where is his name on the nightly news? Where is the outrage for his murder?! 

A video that circulated widely on social media and prompted the Police Department to hold a news conference about the incident showed him yelling as police held him on the sidewalk and then carried him, his legs dragging limp on the street, into a police van.

This is genocide. My people are dying. At least seven other Black men were killed this week. Rest in power, to all our fallen ones. We fight for you now too. #staywoke #farfromover
