Sun reporter Luke Broadwater on the curfew being implemented Tuesday:
Kevin Harris, a spokesman for Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, said the curfew will begin tomorrow. He said police are currently engaged combating violence and need more time to ramp up to enforce a citywide curfew. He also said that people need to have reasonable notice before a curfew is enforced.
Rev. Jesse Jackson to Sun reporter Yvonne Wenger:
Rev. Jesse Jackson said ending the riots in Baltimore isn’t the remedy to fix what ails the city and it’s people.
“It’s regrettable, what’s happening now,” Jackson said. “What you’re looking at is the end result of mutual distrust between the people the police, and something needs to happen to contain and stop the rioting.”
Jackson said there are two Baltimores: investment and public financing of buildings downtown. and unemployment and thousands of abandoned homes elsewhere.
The president, Congress and the secretary of commerce need to respond to the unrest in Baltimore, he said.
“You’re looking at the actions of cynicism and hopelessness,” Jackson said. “We need remedy.”
Dispatch from Sun reporter Mike Dresser:
Gov. Larry Hogan canceled all of his previously scheduled events Tuesday to deal with the rioting in Baltimore, his office announced Monday.
The governor had been scheduled to sign more than 180 newly passed bills at a State House ceremony before going to Baltimore County. There he was scheduled to speak to a class at Towson University before holding a news conference at the headquarters of McCormick & Co. with County Executive Kevin Kamenetz.
Hogan had also been scheduled to receive an honor as Marylander of the Year from the Baltimore Sun at a ceremony in Towson. None of the events was immediately rescheduled.
A spokesman said it was unclear Monday where the governor, who had just declared a state of emergency and activated the Maryland National Guard, will go or what he will do Tuesday.
