“Our main objective was to show the rest of the country that Baltimore is the place where we will be calm, we will display our anger and outrage in a productive and strategic manner, and also practice proper social distancing,' activist Kwame Rose said.

This is not to say there hasn’t been unlawful behavior -- Monday night’s protest resulted in six arrests, while Saturday night’s led to 14 arrests, eight reports of destruction of property and 11 burglaries. But these incidents pale in comparison to those in other major U.S. cities, 40 of which are under curfew.

Demonstrators face off with Baltimore Police as a CVS pharmacy burns at the corner of Pennsylvania and North avenues during violent protests following the funeral of Freddie Gray on April 27, 2015 in Baltimore, Md.Gray, 25, died from a spinal injury suffered in a police van following an arrest. His death was later deemed a homicide. Six officers were charged in connection with his death, but they all later returned to the force after they were acquitted or their charges were dropped.

While Rose says the department has “a long way to go” before making community policing a reality, he noticed that when protesters arrived at City Hall after the youth march, police were not yet wearing riot gear.
