Morgan Freeman rarely speaks out but when he does. He will let you know what exactly is on his mind.
The A-list actor Morgan Freeman, had a lot to say about the Baltimore riots from the death of Freddie Gray. Freeman actually agreed with the protesting.
“Now, they’re getting more of the whole picture”
stated Freeman.
Don’t get Freeman wrong he does not agree with the harsh rioting and fighting with the police. But he did say it’s better than the actions taken prior from similar stories of police killing African American males.
In an interview with U.K ’s Daily Best he stated:
“Baltimore seems to be coming up with a different scenario in the background.
People are saying, ‘You were not all there when we were just talking and trying to make a point, but if we set something on fire, all of sudden you’re all here. ‘Why is that? What’s the difference? And some young reporters are listening. That sort of observation is very useful.”
“Police have a standard reaction to shooting somebody. ‘I fear for my life, I fear for my safety,’
Freeman added.
Freeman like other actors are using their fame to speak out, and help the best way they can to see justice served.
