As yet another week goes on after another brutal killing of an African-American during a police arrest, the American people are unifying to demonstrate that they will not take any more.
In a nation, which is widely viewed as divided, people of all ages, all races, and all identity groups are coming together in city after city, protesting for the call of justice.
As previously reported by Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.), the Baltimore Police Department set a tone of confrontation to reject the right of the public to protest the death of Freddie Gray, by the police calling the protesters a “lynch mob.” The police have taken three weeks to investigate the death of a shackled and handcuffed Mr. Gray thrown into the back of a police van without a seat belt. When the police arrived at the station, Mr. Gray had a broken spine and neck, and a crushed larynx.
Disturbingly today, a former police beat writer for the Baltimore Sun who attended Baltimore Police Department social activities, Peter Hermann, suddenly “leaked” a story to the Washington Post that the Baltimore Police is planning to claim that Mr. Gray broke his own neck and his own spine. Dr. David Samadi has questioned that wild rumor, published by the Washington Post, as something would not be backed by the medical evidence.
On April 30, 2015, in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, New York City, Washington DC, Seattle, Boston, Denver, Minneapolis, and other cities across America, the public is deciding that it has had enough of the police brutality and the cover-ups, which are an offense to the human rights and the Constitutional rights of the American citizens.

One reporter for the Guardian reported during Baltimore protests that the Baltimore Police caused a fire beside the Pratt Library, which was “not caused by Molotov cocktail, as publicly reported by the Baltimore Police. The teargas grenade landed on trash and its sparks set the fire. Watched it.” The reporter also stated that a drone was following the protesters.
Our fellow human beings deserve universal human rights and freedom from authoritarian or mob violence – in the United States and anywhere in the world.
Whether it is in Pakistan, Communist China, or the United States of America, all of our citizens deserve universal human rights of security, freedom, and dignity around the world. When we are responsible for equality and liberty, it must be for all nations and all people around the world.
