Breaking news: There are confrontations between police and Baltimore youth

[nadinbrzezinski]

This is just breaking, one officer is down.

1. The O's start a 6 game home stand tonight

White Sox then the Devil Rays

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. I am not sure there will be a game

depends on a lot of things.

Rocks and bricks, and bottles getting thrown at officers.

[underpants]

8. Yes that was my concern as well

I got a "Huh? WTF?" On another thread.

Lots of people for an O's game and the park pins them in against the water. It takes a lot of police to secure a game and move the crowd - they will probably be more needed elsewhere.

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. I missed a padres game many years ago

when we had the beginnings of a riot in San Diego (after the Rodney King decision came in). They never got bad here, but bad enough.

I got local coverage, still looking for a ustream feed

[underpants]

10. I see now that there was some protesting on Saturday night

Sorry can't post links on this phone.

Saturday night very near Camden Yard. looks like it was "handled".

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. Yes, and they kept quite a bit of the public

inside until it was defused

[nadinbrzezinski]

29. Game postponed, just now over twitter

31. Not surprising

With all that is going on an influx of people is not a good idea. They waited a long time to do that.

[nadinbrzezinski]

32. Yeah, we were having that conversation here

I kept refreshing, I kept refreshing, and we heard it on the tv, refresh, there it is

[Algernon Moncrieff]

36. They dropped "Devil" - it's just the "Rays" now.

...which has nothing to do with the crisis at hand, but I thought you should know. I think they made the change two seasons ago.

40. Okay thanks

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. local station coverage

Looking for a ustream link

[B2G]

4. 4 police transported to hospital

from WBAL.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. I just linked to a local news source

and my scanner is on. No, not in Baltimore but tensions are not limited to just Baltimore...

[B2G]

7. Thank you. nt

6. He was standing in no time when he put his arms up to be pulled up, looked to me his apparel was a

Bit overloaded and so he needed help in standing back up

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. Preaching to the damn choir

I cannot do it, since I have way too many things running, including local scanner. but if anybody can start monitoring local PD comms, who is familiar with Baltimore that would be helpfiul I might start doing it on the phone, scanner app;

[Ms. Yertle]

15. One officer is "unresponsive."

[L0oniX]

16. Have they called out the National Guard yet?

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. Not yet... but I need to bring up a map of the city

now listening to PD comms as well.

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. We have at least two officers injured

some are reporting up to four, with at least one non responsive. This is the solid information we have so far. They have also deployed tear gas, and are using Bearcats. It is an extremely fluid situation.

They have also brought in more officers, and I will add this, there is an actual threat to the PD... that was released this morning by the department and it went nationwide.

(On a personal note, the infrastructure reading can wait)

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. Now up to 7 officers injured per CNN

Sorry folks multitasking with multiple shit.

[shenmue]

20. CNN shows looting, car on fire

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. I got one stream with multiple media feeds

as well as scanners... just now starting to figure the 10 code. and it is not pretty.

[nadinbrzezinski]

22. There are worries as to what is going to happen tonight

and no news if the game is going to happen. This is over an hour to game time.

[nadinbrzezinski]

23. No way to vet this, but if this is what happened...

24. Daylight Rioting in a major American city and surprising little interest by DU

People at work and out of touch with the story????

[nadinbrzezinski]

26. Don't know

For me to be unsurprised would be lying.

[nadinbrzezinski]

25. Local news reporting police from different departments coming in

there is talk of national guard on media chatters, but nothing from officials.

[sabrina 1]

27. From twitter, people who are there, the Guardian eg, says one of their

reporters is 'on the ground'.

Police spraying protesters from vehicle:








Smoke coming from the CVS on North and Pennsylvania aves — you can see it from down the street.

[nadinbrzezinski]

28. So that was what the portable CS canister was about

on the radio chatter!

[nadinbrzezinski]

33. State of Emergency and National Guard Call Out

http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/04/a-state-of-emergency-in-baltimore/391607/

I cannot access the actual press release... due to traffic demands.

[nadinbrzezinski]

34. Curfew city wide

Curfew city wide, 10 PM to 5 AM per the Mayor of Baltimore, and the Guard is deploying immediately. Those 14 and younger the curfew is 9 PM. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake also said that “they are deploying outside resources to give us an assist here.” The priority is health and safety.

[951-Riverside]

35. What good is that going to do when these incidents took place in broad daylight on a Monday? n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

37. I am not there

but none is actually dealing with the roots for this, The proximal or the constant.

[951-Riverside]

38. I wasn't directing it at you necessarily. I'm just wondering in the broader sense

[nadinbrzezinski]

39. I know, I am just giving my editorial observation

from watching this.

My scanner is running, because my feeling is... tinderbox all over...
