US-POLICE-CRIME-RACISM

Protesters rise up their fists outside the Baltimore Police Central Booking and Intake Center for prisoners in Baltimore, Maryland on May 1, 2015. Six Baltimore police officers were charged Friday over the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old African-American whose spine was snapped in custody, in a surprise announcement after days of riots and protests in the US city. The charges -- ranging from second-degree murder and manslaughter to misconduct -- were set out by Maryland state prosecutor Marilyn Mosby, with all six officers taken into custody during the day.
