disobedience and this was the image the media seized upon, a few cars and windows were broken but no mass rioting and the baltimore police chief was clear, the few minutes of vandalism relayed around the world were unrepresentative. >> residents were telling people and the crowd to calm down and relax and i was proud of that and residents put themselves between officers and agitated crowd and asked for calm and peace. >> reporter: that has not stopped those feeling the police have no case to answer on seizing on a few isolated incidents to make their case. >> it's a threat to civilization itself. >> reporter: it's a frustrating narrative for residents of the city whose only aim is to make things better. >> march for hours and hours was completely peaceful and we are here today to just show some solidarity with the family and show there are people in the communities, in this city that are working together to make things better.

be an active partner to ally as the u.s. continues the rebalance to asia and the governor insists the new base must be built outside okinawa, outside of japan. the governor supporters are motivated by a mixture of environmental and political reasons and this they say would be the first time okinawa willingly handed over territory. >> translator: the governor uses very clear terms in explaining why okinawans are opposed and people realize we have a legitimate argument and that the japanese government has been high handed in forcing this through. >> reporter: tokyo overruled the refusal for work in the bay, his next move is to seek legal annulment of the previous governor's agreement, in the meantime activists try to slow down the work and draw attention to their fight. everyday they are detained and returned to shore, everyday they
