regardless of who escalated the situation, the reality is that serious political protests aren't organized by high school students. this is an issue - violence between youth and police - that is going to escalate all over the continent, and in europe as well. this is systemic. it's inevitable. and it's worth attention. but i don't think it has the slightest thing to do with police brutality, or systemic racism, or anything else to do with freddy gray. it has to do with technological unemployment.
