"Before his controversial death earlier this month while in police custody, which has set this city aflame in rioting, the life of Freddie Gray was defined by failures in the classroom, run-ins with the law, and an inability to focus on anything for very long. Many of those problems began when he was a child and living in this house, according to a 2008 lead poisoning lawsuit filed by Gray and his siblings against the property owner, which resulted in an undisclosed settlement."

"Reports of Gray’s history with lead come at a time when the city and nation are still trying to understand the full ramifications of lead poisoning. Advocates and studies say it can diminish cognitive function, increase aggression and ultimately exacerbate the cycle of poverty that is already exceedingly difficult to break."

I knew that his shady past had to be caused by someone else.

 

Well, they claim the riots have stopped because of a curfew. Oh yes, I believe that, Uh huh. Wonder why other cities didn't think of that? A magical curfew. Just tell the rioters and looters they have to be in by 10, so get your burning and looting done early, or this guy below will get you.

Batts has been a regular face at press conferences as violence has been waged since Freddie Gray's deathRiot police were also out in force on Wednesday night as they worked to calm protests in the city 

Pretty sure these had nothing to do with the calm.
