CAUGHT ON-AIR: Baltimore protesters INJURE officer, has to be CARRIED AWAY
Things are heating up again in Baltimore and it looks like the police are taking the brunt of it. On MSNBC a copter camera caught a policeman being carried away after being injured in an altercation with protesters who were previously throwing rocks and bottles at police.
Here’s a short vine of him being carried away:

I posted a longer video on the Right Scoop here.
This was what they were dealing with before a policeman got injured:

And Baltimore PD says more than one police officer has been injured:
Additional officers have been injured in the area of Liberty Heights and Reisterstown Rd. The group continues to throw bricks at officers

Like I said on Twitter, the Mayor said she ordered police on the streets without riot gear because she didn’t want them to cause a riot. Well, it’s happened anyway, and now police are getting injured. That’s on her head, especially after saying they were “giving space” to people who wanted to destroy.
