Members of the Nation of Islam were reportedly in the photos, too. Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake praised the NOI in a press conference earlier in the day for its role in providing security at the protest:
They are afraid of this. Bloods,Crips and the NOI together. #FreddieGray ✊ pic.twitter.com/xDJkdzVlC7

Hey, it’s good news that the Bloods and Crips have stopped fighting with one another. Why not make it an everyday thing now?
