So as you look at the property damage

So as you look at the property damage in Baltimore, think about what you'd accept to bring killers to justice. Because that's what it took.

I haven't seen anyone in Baltimore brought to justice yet so I have no idea what it will take. Actually, I think it is way too early to talk about justice yet because I don't think we really know what happened to cause Freddy Gray's injuries. Personally, I think the riots have lifted the death of Freddy Gray to the level that justice will never be served.

I agree that the death of Freddy Gray has been elevated to a level, that like Michael Brown's death, may not necessitate the "justice" that is anticipated. But the issue is not just justice for Freddy Gray, it's a reaction to systematic injustice for black men. Looking at decennial census data, you can see this injustice by looking at how the ratio of black men to black women changes with age relative to the ratio of white men to white women.
See: http://www.nytimes.com/interac...0/upshot/missing-black-men.html? imm_mid=0d1070&cmp=em-data-na-na-newsltr_20150429&_r=1&abt=0002&abg=0
And the US community of 10,000+ black people with the largest imbalance: Ferguson, Missouri.
