(Reuters) - An anti-capitalist May Day march in Seattle turned violent on Friday when demonstrators threw rocks and wrenches at police, who responded by lobbing "flashbangs" and shooting pepper balls, according to police and media reports. "This is no longer demonstration management, this has turned into a riot," Seattle Police Captain Chris Fowler said in a statement. The Seattle Police Department said on its Twitter account that at least three officers were injured in the scuffle, and at least five people had been arrested. Two of the officers were taken to a Seattle hospital with serious injuries, the department said.

Six Baltimore officers charged in death of Gray, one with murder

By Scott Malone and Ian Simpson BALTIMORE (Reuters) - Baltimore's chief prosecutor charged one police officer with murder on Friday and five others with lesser crimes in the death of a young black man who suffered a critical neck injury in the back of a police van, a case that fueled new anger over police treatment of minorities. The swift decision by Marilyn Mosby, who has been in the position only since January, to charge the six officers in the death of Freddie Gray caught many by surprise in a city hit Monday night by its worst civil unrest in decades. Mosby made her announcement hours after the Maryland state medical examiner had ruled the death a homicide and a day after police handed her office the findings of its internal review of Gray's April 12 arrest. Caesar Goodson Jr., a black officer who drove the police van, was charged with second-degree murder.
