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 Big Acquittal @BeattyLaw
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.

FACTS: The abolitionists and the Freedman's Bureau (Free negros voters and politicians) that created the republican party. Lincoln was rumored to be an abolitionist that is why the Democratic south did not want him as President.  The Democratic South wanted to maintain status quo. However, Lincoln did win and in 1863 Lincoln signed into law the Emancipation Proclamation which was the instrument that freed the slaves.
