A protester approached by MSNBC's Thomas Roberts on Tuesday offered pointed criticism of the way his network and other media have covered unrest in Baltimore following the death of Freddie Gray this month.After admitting that looting and rioting was not the best way to represent her community and its demands for answers, the protester asked Roberts a question of her own."My question to you is, when we were out here protesting all last week for six days straight peacefully, there were no news cameras, there were no helicopters, there was no riot gear, and nobody heard us," she said. "So now that we've burned down buildings and set businesses on fire and looted buildings, now all of the sudden everybody wants to hear us. Why does it take a catastrophe like this in order for America to hear our cry? I mean, enough is enough. We've had too many lives lost at the hands of police officers. Enough is enough."Watch the rest of the interview below:-- Nick Wing
