A protest over the police custody death of Freddie Gray in Baltimore erupted into violence and a nearby baseball stadium was put on lockdown Saturday as angry demonstrators bashed store windows and damaged vehicles near Camden Yards.  The mayhem got so bad that Gray’s twin sister made her first public appearance since the April 12 death of her brother to ask Baltimore protesters to stand down.  “Can you all please, please stop the violence?” she pleaded. “Freddie Gray would not want this. Freddie’s father and mother did not want nobody ... violence does not get justice.”  A dozen demonstrators were arrested and at least two were injured as cops in riot gear tried to quell the surging mass of protesters who threw objects and jumped on police cruisers and other cars, smashing vehicle windows at around 7:30 p.m.  Spectators at Camden Yards were stopped from leaving after the game because of “ongoing public safety issues.”  “Killers! You can’t get away with this!” protesters charged over the death of the 25-year-old black man as they bashed in storefront windows and hurled rocks, water bottles and even hot dog buns, according to the Baltimore Sun. One protester broke out the window of a police cruiser, grabbed a hat inside and wore it while standing on top of the car, officials said.  A few protesters were causing disturbances at midnight, the Baltimore Police department said. The tense standoff occurred outside Camden Yards, just as the Baltimore Orioles were about take on the Boston Red Sox. As they watched the Orioles beat Boston 5-4 in 10 innings, spectators were asked to stay inside the stadium, but the ban was lifted before the final pitch was thrown, officials said.  There have been daily protests in Baltimore since Gray’s death. Saturday’s protest was by far the largest with 1,200 people, according to officials. Everything remained peaceful until about 6:30 p.m. when a “splinter group” started heading for the Camden Yards, Baltimore Police Chief Anthony Batts said. “It’s just a small number of people that felt that they had to turn this into an ugly event and an ugly day.”  The marches came a day after the Baltimore Police Department acknowledged that it failed to get Gray the medical attention he needed after his April 12 arrest.  Gray was arrested after he made eye contact with cops and ran away, police said. He was later found with a severed spine and crushed voice box after being handcuffed and transported without a seat belt by police in a department van. He died a week later, officials said.
