Since the death of Freddie Gray Baltimore residents have been protesting and rioting against law enforcement. Some of the cast from the HBO series "The Wire" weighed in on the events pleading for peace in Baltimore.

Andre Royo who plays the drug addict Bubbles supported the protesters telling them to stand up and rise up without breaking discipline and destruction via Twitter.

Felicia Pearson who played Snoop tweeted "Please pray for my city please."

Wendell Pierce who plays William Moreland aka Bunk was not impressed with what was going on in Baltimore.


“Baltimore. These are not protesters. These are criminals disrespectful of the wishes of the family and people of good will,” he tweeted.

David Simon, former police reporter for the Baltimore Sun and the creator of "The Wire" also expressed his thoughts on the protesters in his blog saying "The anger and the selfishness and the brutality of those claiming the right to violence in Freddie Gray’s name needs to cease."
