Peaceful Protest and the Baltimore Riots

People hold signs and yell during a protest for Freddie Gray near Mondawmin Mall in Baltimore, MD on Monday April 27, 2015. Gray died from spinal injuries about a week after he was arrested.

A faction of Baltimore's largely peaceful protests turned violent Monday night in reaction to the death of Freddie Gray at the hands of the police. Washington Post opinion writer Jonathan Capehart offers his thoughts.

People peacefully protesting want their concerns heard, but the moment they riot they're going to lose ppl who might help, says @CapehartJ.

Caller DeForest in Yonkers points out that we wouldn't be having this conversation at all about problems in Baltimore without the protests.
