Less than 24 hours after Baltimore law enforcement issued a statement claiming gangs were uniting to take them out, new footage has surfaced and appears to revoke cops’ claim.

The new footage shows various gang members putting their differences aside for non-violent unity and asking people to come together.

“We got Bloods, Crips, J’s, Latin Kings. Everybody who’s beefing with each other is all united together to fight for this cause,” a man said from a gang rally for Freddie Gray. Another man proclaimed, “I’m a Crip. I sat with Bloods, BGIs, on a truck. I’m the only Crip here. If they wanted to do something to me, they’d do it. I’m not afraid. They not afraid. We’re not here for us, we’re here for y’all.” (AJ+)

  1. You can tell they are hoping, even PRAYING the truce ends badly. Even IF a cop gets shot just so they can get something negative out of this.

  3. i dig it but i think the anger might be mis placed i think we cant get made at the shooter but rather the laws that allow the shooter to getting away….we have to go at peacefully the people that say its ok for cops to kill if needed and the judges and offices that grant favor and money over right..sadily this wont be the last time….how bad is a time when people actually cheer for the cops and defend their right to kill because they think all are bad

  4. Like the lion in my profile picture even killers have families….your lack of understanding on how i behave does not make me a monster….i lion walking down the street is something to fear….i get it ..you dont know if that lion is one of the trained ones from the circus or one you saw on nat geo…..no way to tell….but if one could place fear to the side one may be able to review history and see that lion has more reason to be scared….enslavement murder trade and being wrongly profiled has taken prey and life…

  5. SMH…..Lies as usual. But what if it wasn’t a lie, what if they are all doing as the Police said they were doing. Could you actually blame them for wanting to defend their communities? As misguided as the riots were, this is kinda like a civil rights movement in the fact that black citizens rights are being ignored and we are dying at the hands of the people we pay to protect us. It’s not all cops doing this, just a few here and there but there’s no accountability, they essentially “protect their own”, if they are doing that who is protecting the citizens they are paid to protect? Those Police officers who had a hand in the Freddie Gray incident get to go home, eat dinner, spend time with their families and oh yeah, get a paid vacation not to come to work. There’s a serious problem that no one wants to address.
