Newly Released Video, Audio Detail Start Of Baltimore Riot, Police Response



RadioonFire.com - City surveillance video and police radio transmissions newly released by authorities show Baltimore police respond in the area near Mondawmin Mall after Freddie Gray's funeral. 

The audio transmissions which have been obtained by the Baltimore Sun, detail officers' efforts to gain control of the streets after the April 27 funeral for Freddie Gray, a black man who suffered a fatal spinal cord injury in police custody. On the transmissions, orders instructing officers to "hold the line" are heard, but there are no orders to "stand down." 

The police union accused the higher-ups of instructing officers to not engage rioters, allowing looting.
