Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Baltimore on Tuesday to protest the death of the 27-year-old black man who died after being arrested by local police.

Really?
Your police severed a young man's spine and you have the nerve to call peaceful protestors a lynch mob?
As protesters decrying Freddie Gray's death plan more rallies in Baltimore Thursday, anger is mounting over a police union's comparison of the protest to a "lynch mob."
"While we appreciate the right of our citizens to protest and applaud the fact that, to date, the protests have been peaceful, we are very concerned about the rhetoric of the protests," the Baltimore Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 3 said in a statement.
"In fact, the images seen on television look and sound much like a lynch mob."
i never heard of a Black lynch mob i'm sure there is some biased entries trying to promote the idea they would have to imply they were lynching other Blacks because if they had the power or inclination to lynch Whites there would be less Black Americans today and all kinds of credible history about it.
Nah. They don't look like a lynch mob at all.
You—who kill us by the thousands and rarely pay a price—look like the lynch mob.
You—who shoot our young people, our sisters, our brothers, our fathers, our mothers, and heartlessly leave us there to die while we fight to live—look like the lynch mob.
In fact, you are the lynch mob and we are your victims.
Black people are not a menace to society, society is a menace to Black people.
