Baltimore: 65 Arrested in Anti-Police Brutality Protests 
---------------------------------------------------------

In Baltimore, Maryland, police arrested 65 protesters during an
anti-police brutality march Saturday. The protesters attempted to shut
down Interstate 83. Protests have erupted in dozens of cities following
the killings by police of two African-American men, Alton Sterling in
Baton Rouge Louisiana, and Philando Castile in Falcon Heights,
Minnesota. Baltimore is currently awaiting the decision in the trial of
a police officer charged in the death of Freddie Gray. Gray died of
injuries sustained in police custody last year, sparking nationwide
demonstrations.
