This R&D provides resources on the unrest in Baltimore. The city was plagued by looting and rioting earlier this week as tensions rose over the death of Freddie Gray, an African-American, who died in police custody of a spinal chord injury. Maryland’s Republican Governor Larry Hogan sent the National Guard into Baltimore to maintain order and declared a state of emergency on Monday.
