Kent's arrest, broadcast on CNN, showed him walking with his hands up in front of a police line after the city's 10 p.m. curfew. He was quickly surrounded by members of the National Guard before being pushed into an armored car.

Where is ? We saw them take him. And I'm sure the Baltimore Police have no answers, like usual.

Please follow my time line, I know it is flooded but he is safe and we are working hard on his release. At CBIF. I spoke with him in person.

The one thing stressed to me most was he didn't want any more violence. Please honor his wish. He earned it with his liberty.
Kent, a 21-year-old music student at Morgan State University, gained attention during protests in Baltimore after the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., according to a 2014 report in the Baltimore City Paper. In that report, Kent is credited with helping to keep protests peaceful and organized.
