A Baltimore teacher is now being charged with child abuse after he reportedly broke a 7-year-old’s jaw. This is terrible. Imagine getting this call from your child’s school. I would have to hurt someone for real. This is truly unacceptable. The mother of Travon Grayson, Lateekqua Jackson, says her son told her the teacher threw him into the wall. She says her son has nightmares of the horrible incident. Grayson’s jaw was broken two of his teeth were missing.
The Justice Department and Baltimore police have decided that they will negotiate court-enforceable reforms after a federal report was released. The scathing report criticizes police for excessive force and routinely discriminating against blacks.
A woman in Baltimore was involved in a nearly seven-hour long standoff with police in her apartment yesterday, which ended up in her 5-year-old son getting shot as well. She was holding him when police shot her, and he is now in the hospital. Check out video of the scene below, as well as a video the woman recorded from inside the house, prior to her death.
And yet another injustice. The fourth (out of 6) and highest-ranking officer charged in the death of Freddie Gray has been acquitted of all charges. Lt.
