People march "against police brutality and in support of the pain and suffering of Baltimore" from Gilmor Homes towards the City Hall in Baltimore, on Saturday.

A jubilant Baltimore headed into a weekend of rallies on Saturday after six police were criminally charged over the death of a black man that fuelled national outrage over police conduct in black communities. Several thousand people were expected to take part in a Saturday rally at Baltimore city hall, with marchers leaving from the Gilmor Homes housing projects where the victim, 25-year-old Freddie Gray, was arrested.
