A dozen protestors marched Wednesday outside the Baltimore City Juvenile Justice Center, demanding prosecutors drop all charges against the so-called “MTA 9,” the black teenagers accused of brutally beating a white woman on a Baltimore City bus in December.

“No grown person should be spitting on kids,” shouted Quentin Whaley Sr., 54, the father of one of the accused teens, who held a sign that read: “Drop all charges against the MTA 9.”
