US: Baltimore Protests Slated for Today

Renewed protests will be held today in Baltimore, Maryland to protest the police killing of unarmed African American resident Freddie Gray, whose spinal chord was severed while in custody. The police investigation into Gray's death will be completed by May 1 and its findings turned over to the city's chief prosecutor, who will decide whether to bring criminal charges against the officers involved. Today's protest, fueled by similar police killings in cities throughout the United States, is expected to draw 10,000 participants. teleSUR
