BALTIMORE’S mayor lifted a city-wide curfew on Sunday — six days after riots sparked by African-American Freddie Gray’s death in police custody.
A crowd of several hundred sang civil-rights anthems at a City Hall rally as speaker after speaker called on the crowd not to rest until the officers were behind bars.
The Rev Jamal Bryant, a leader of the protests that followed Mr Gray’s April 12 arrest and his subsequent death, drew deafening cheers when he said that the police officers all deserved jail time.
“We’ve got to see this all the way through until all six officers trade in their blue uniform for orange uniforms,” he said.
“Let them know: Orange is the new black.”
The Rev Lisa Weah said the message of equal justice for all must not be lost.
Elsewhere, police said that 486 people had been arrested since April 23.
