The Baltimore riots over the death of Freddie Gray are not a civil unrest, but are demanding to deal in a systematic way with racism, Occupy Wall Street said via Twitter on Tuesday.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — On Monday, mass protests against police brutality turned into riots in Baltimore, following the funeral of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old African American who died of spinal injuries while in police custody.

Occupy Wall Street said that the unrest in Baltimore is merely an act of defense of African American lives.

“Funny how the system calls for non-violence once those who experience violence daily start fighting back,” Occupy Wall Street concluded.

Occupy Wall Street is a people-powered movement, whose goal is to fight back against the corrosive power of major banks and multinational corporations over the democratic process, according to the movement’s website.
