If I'm not mistaken, in the days before the Baltimore riots there were warnings that several gangs were going to kill police. Then suddenly the riots erupted.
Is that all?
The media portrayed the start of the riots as being an idea by some kids to do something having to do with a movie.
But now this in Mother Jones
http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/04/how-baltimore-riots-began-mondawmin-purgeThe implication of the article is that the police may have triggered the riots as a sort of controlled burn after Freddie Grey.
A controlled burn is when you make a small fire to reduce the potential danger from future larger ones.
If this was the case, was it misguided or smart?
