George, at the Baltimore Sun since 2012, reported from inside the police department’s headquarters during the Freddie Gray investigation and subsequent riots in Baltimore last April. In this discussion, George will touch on these experiences as well as as #BlackLivesMatter and other notable incidents in Milwaukee, Cleveland, Missouri, New York and South Carolina.
