Riots broke out in Baltimore on Monday following Freddie Gray‘s April 19 death from a spinal cord injury suffered while in police custody.
The riots have left 15 police officers injured, with Baltimore City Public Schools set to be closed Tuesday and a city-wide curfew in effect for the next week. Maryland’s governor has declared a state of emergency.
Here is how several Hollywood figures are reacting.

Baltimore. These are not protestors. These are criminals disrespectful of the wishes of the family and people of good will.
