Baltimore Police Commissioner Reveals New Information On Baltimore Riots

In a very candid lecture at Anne Arundel Community College, Baltimore police Commissioner Kevin Davis revealed several things learned in the aftermath of those days of unrest in Baltimore.

For example, he says it was a mistake to issue a press release saying gangs were looking for trouble on the days surrounding Freddie Gray's death and funeral.

Davis also said that after a Saturday of non-violent protests things "escalated" on the streets of Baltimore near Camden Yards because of a single veteran police officer's "emotional response" that caused a "flash point" even before a number of police cars parked along Howard Street were destroyed.

Davis also revealed that the bricks used by rioters to attack cops around Douglass High School and Mandawmin Mall had been "stockpiled" ahead of time by those same rioters.
