As images of violence, looting and arson filled news websites, social media and television, musicians locally and nationally turned to Twitter and Instagram to share their thoughts. Here’s how Wheelchair Sports Camp, BLKHRTS, Dawes and more responded to the Baltimore riots.

ironic that in times of protest and anger the police will ask for "peace" and "non violence" after they brutally murder and assault people.
