Baltimore Pleads for Calm as Freddie Gray Laid to Rest

Freddie Gray, the man who died after an encounter with Baltimore police, will be laid to rest today, and thousands are expected at his 11am funeral in the city, the AP reports. Among the attendees: the chairman of My Brother's Keeper Task Force, President Obama's initiative for young men of color, and two other administration officials. Mourners streamed into Gray's wake for hours yesterday, after protests in the city turned violent Saturday, with 35 people ultimately arrested. Officials and Gray's family are calling for calm as Gray is buried today, the Baltimore Sun reports. "I haven't come here to ask you to respect wishes of the family," said Rep. Elijah Cummings yesterday. "I've come here to beg you."
