5:00 pm
here is a grip will take a [ inaudible ] from the top but run from his mother comes arunning. >> send in the cops. maybe you are the mother of all moms when you can inspire this kind of look in your tough-guy son. jeanne moos cnn, new york. >> and we can report that boy is staying home. thanks for joining us. our breaking news coverage continues with anderson in baptist -- in baltimore. erin thank you very much. we are a couple of hours from the curfew and the worst riots in baltimore. and more than a thousand police officers and deputies from all corners of the state and beyond are backed up by 2,000 members of the maryland national guard. can you see some of the members of the national guard standing behind me tonight. i'm in front of the city hall.
5:01 pm
they are been out here mandating barricades. there was a small contingent of baltimore police armed with riot helmets and clubs because a group of protestors had come down here walking from the cvs and they have lost and brian todd is with them and we'll check in with him and as they left so did the fall inks of -- fall inks of police officers. we have seen some clashes between protestors and police officers. there have been helicopters throughout the day and a number of arrests. we see and feel a great deal of tension. no doubt about that. and we've seen the good people of baltimore step up and step in helping not just with the clean-up but also trying to cool things down and even putting themselves between police and some of the hotter-tempered
5:02 pm
protestors out today. all of this after 144 cars and trucks were set on fire 15 buildings burned and 20 police officers were hurt and 200 people arrested. president obama weighed in today and so did the baltimore mayor. now how their words might play out on the streets here, we honestly do not know tonight. it is just one part of what remains a very volatile mix. tonight some members of the community are gathered at a local a&m mega-church hashing out ways to diffuse feeling and begin healing deep winds and we'll take you there in the two hours ahead tonight. the a&e church ahead of where we are and we're hoped to be joined by the pastor of the church tonight and first i want to go to jason carroll and explain where you are in relation to city hall and what you are seeing tonight.
5:03 pm
>> reporter: well right now a lot of people -- peace, my friend. we're here at the center where so much of this happened yesterday. this is the intersection of north and pennsylvania. anderson that is the cvs. you know that cvs pharmacy. that is where the looting and the burning started yesterday. what we've seen out here today so far, hundreds of demonstrators have come out, demonstrating for the most part peacefully. what has intrigued me is what some are calling this unit line-- unity line and you have seen people locking armed, montgomery prince george's county p.d. and they are creating a buffering line between themselves and those out here who might be hot and angry and frustrated. tell me what your day has been like being the buffer between yourself and the officers behind you? >> the day has been positive.
5:04 pm
all of us have come together to stand together to be a buffer between law enforcement and the peaceful protesters. we want to be here as an example. our city is going through a lot right now and i want to make sure the world sees and our city sees we are standing strong as a group and unit as a group of color, all races, creeds and back grounds to support us. >> and i was talking, anderson to this gentleman who has been standing out here for hours talking about the importance of being out here providing a line between yourselves and the men and women behind you. >> it starts with us. it starts with baltimore. we stand us for ourself and show we can police ourselves. there is hope there is love and respect and all of that in baltimore and we have to show that and put that out there and show the world we are here to police ourselves and show that we don't need everything that was shown on the television and the nation yesterday. we're about positivity here in baltimore and so it starts with us. these long line of people came
5:05 pm
out here because what we've seen on the tv yesterday, we didn't like it. >> reporter: and i want to get to one more person. standing out here with your 14-year-old daughter? >> yes. >> reporter: you said this is a lesson she's taking with her for quite a long time? >> yes. my daughter is 1 and a freshman in -- is 14 years old and a freshman. and when she's writing a paper about this and instructing someone about it and she can say i stood there and i was in line and my mother had me here. so the so the protesters and with dr. king and rosa parks and everybody, she is actually doing it. and if i don't stand for something, i'll fall for it. so i'm showing my daughter and my students of cross elementary their librarian, they are standing for something. >> and 14 years old, so young, what are you learning? >> i grew up in this community
5:06 pm
and i use this community daily, like every weekend, so it is hard for me not to stand out here to represent my community. so i'm going to -- i'm not protecting the police i'm protecting my community that i grew up in the people i know and see every day, not just me myself and i. not just my family. >> reporter: very brave all of you. and i think a lot of people in this community commend you for what you are doing. thank you so much. anderson as a lot of people were out here chanting over and over "we want peace." that is how the people out here are feeling. we are going to be out here all day. but the feeling from seeing the unity line and some of people angry, no doubt about that but most of the people out here want nothing but peace. anderson. >> and jason, i was out there about two hours ago and that line that was there and it was firmly in place. and it is extraordinarily to see
5:07 pm
members of community coming out to want to police themselves and there was a festive atmosphere and people were angry, there is no doubt about it but people playing music and i saw members of different church groups i believe members of the nation of islam were there as well. that is also part of this community reaction to what the images of what they saw and lived through last night. >> reporter: you're absolutely right, anderson. and that is the point of what their trying -- they are trying to make out here. they want to do everything they can. after seeing the destruction last night to prove to the community and to the world that these people with come out and police themselves and show a different side of baltimore. that is why they are standing here arm and arm, linked arm and arm wanted to show to show that show of force and coming out here and dealing with people angry but they want to provide that first line of defense.
5:08 pm
and if i can just say one more thing -- i heard another woman who said this should happen all along, dialogue in the community, talking to the young people that are angry, if that would have been done before we wouldn't have seen what happened last night. >> jason, we'll continue to check in with you. i want to go to miguel marquez, standing by at north and pennsylvania avenues. explain the situation where you're at. >> reporter: this is sort of ground central for -- or the central point where everything happened last night. the cvs that burned is right behind me. and it has become more festival and rally. you want to say something. what do you want to come out of all of this juan? >> say that again? >> reporter: what do you want all of this. >> peace and justice. not out of all of this? >> reporter: you want them
5:09 pm
charged and to have a trial. >> yes, charged. and why all of the fires an the rioting, i can't get it. >> reporter: i can tell you. i work with cnn and i'm getting everything. and i want to show them the festival. >> and can i tell -- you want me to talk. i want to talk. why are you all not getting the black people coming together. we just cleaned up everything. >> reporter: that is precisely what i'm doing. and we're talking to you, as well. >> we just want justice. he want justice for freddie gray. and also i want to say -- [ inaudible ]. i want to say black pride. >> reporter: i do want to give you a sense of how difficult it is in this neighborhood. there was a individual who had a seizure in this area earlier, and they had to go in in force, police had to go in in force to get him out and it caused quite a raucous in the crowd and they
5:10 pm
were able to get him out and behind police lines and took him out in a ambulance and any small incident can set out of crowd and raise tension and that is where things are this evening. anderson. >> and miguel and the man talking behind you, the man saying show the peaceful images we are showing that and he's not in front of a television and not seeing. >> that -- not seeing that. but what are people talking about when nightfall comes and how concerned are people seeing about what is happening tonight and are they confident that tonight will be a different night than last night? >> reporter: i think there is a lot of attorney of what will happen tonight and in the days ahead. you have different points throughout the week and through the process that people are looking at. mr. gray's funeral was one of those last night. tonight because of everything
5:11 pm
that happened last night, i think nirves are -- nerves are raw on the police and the individual side here and i think that on friday when people are really looking forward to hearing what the police come back with on friday and what they hand up to the d.a. i don't get the sense we'll hear a lot of what the police hand up to the d.a. in terms of the investigation report. so those things they are paying keen attention to here anderson. >> all right. miguel marquez. on the right-hand side you are looking at live images from another view that has been more mobile and on the move and we have a correspondent with that group as well. again, we've seen a number of groups moving to different locations, chanting hoeltding up sign -- holding up signs, demanding justice and calling for justice. not many confrontations from those groups. by enlarge today has been far more peaceful than anything we
5:12 pm
saw last night. there have been some arrests and isolated incidents but again there is certainly a heavier police presence and a heavier presence of people within the community trying to police themselves. i want to go to our chris cuomo. explain where you are and what is going on there? >> reporter: anderson we're at the empowerment tem pe church here in baltimore, this is where the pastor's congregation is and this is not just about what is going on in the streets, there are thousands gathered here and they are standing up and giving their grievances and their pain in society but coming together to resolve to do better and they created a #one baltimore. and before this meeting the reverend met with something i haven't seen in a long time they say the '60s was the last time that baltimore saw riots like this and the last time since they saw a collection of clergy like they have here
5:13 pm
tonight. civic leaders and the clergy in hundreds getting together and listening to each other about how to get out on to the streets an diffuse the violence. they said violence is the problem and not the solution. they want to get back to nonviolence. they had a seminar today for the young people that were angry to learn how to but nonviolent and it is time to take the city back and if you listen to this young woman, a mother here in this community and talking about the toll the police have taken on her and her family and there are dozens that have gotten up and they are speaking with one voice and the messages it is time to speak back with oprogs and to do it with nonviolence and that is what is going on in here with 2,000 people that will take to the streets afterwards up until the curfew to make sure the city doesn't meltdown like it did last night. >> so that is an interesting point, chris. you said that after the meeting is over many of the people who are in this meeting are going to
5:14 pm
take to the streets to try to -- again, try to maintain order and spread the message that is being discussed tonight in that church spread that message out on to the streets? >> reporter: exactly. it is not a message of acceptance it is a message of resistance. but it is about nonviolent resistance and their coming together and the prayers aren't about god, but protection for one another and the reverend brian is going to lead groups of men out -- interfaith muslims and agnostic and christians and men teaming up to car pool to bring bloods and crips who want to volunteer together to keep the community peaceful. there is good intentionality but the question is what will it come to tonight. only time will tell. but a very different start tonight than last night. >> chris, we'll continue to
5:15 pm
check in with you over the course of the two hours an we'll obviously follow that group as they go out on to the streets. there is a lot of questions about what will happen in the hours ahead. just ahead, the tough love lesson that one -- that one person gave on the street -- one rioter got from his very hands-on mom. hey. i'm ted and this is rudy. say "hi" rudy. [ barks ] [ chuckles ] i'd do anything to keep this guy happy and healthy. that's why i'm so excited about these milk-bone brushing chews. whoa i'm not the only one. it's a brilliant way to take care of his teeth. clinically proven as effective as brushing. ok, here you go. have you ever seen a dog brush his own teeth? the twist and nub design cleans all the way down to the gum line, even reaching
5:16 pm
the back teeth. they taste like a treat but they clean like a toothbrush. nothing says you care like a milk-bone brushing chew. [ barks ] mark and alissa anderson recently signed a 30-year mortgage on this home. they must be confident about the future. are you? ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] he doesn't need your help. until he does. three cylinders, 50 horsepower. go bold. go powerful. go gator. i am rich. on the grounds of my estate, i hob nob with the glitterati and play equestrian sports. out on the veranda, we enjoy finger sandwiches and other assorted dainties. i wear nothing less than the finest designer footwear. wherever i go, the paparazzi capture my every move.
5:17 pm
yes, i am rich. that's why i drink the champagne of beers. there's some facts about seaworld we'd like you to know. we don't collect killer whales from the wild. and haven't for 35 years. with the hightest standard of animal care in the world our whales are healthy. they're thriving. i wouldn't work here if they weren't. and government research shows they live just as long as whales in the wild. caring for these whales, we have a great responsibility to get that right. and we take it very seriously. because we love them. and we know you love them too. ugh... ...heartburn. did someone say burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and are proven to taste better

than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm... amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief. we are less than two hours away from a city-wide curfew. president obama expressed his disappointment today that any grievances were overshadowed by a handful of, in his words -- thugs. the mayor said she regretted using that word but she was not aloned. >> i am simply pissed off.
5:19 pm
this is the city i chose to love and chose to dedicate my life -- thugs -- whatever you want to call them just cowards, but if you are an adult and out there participating in this you are out there ruining this city and i'm calling on every able-bodied out there, to get in between these -- get out there and stand tall and stand for your neighborhood. >> joining me now is baltimore city councilman brandon scott who made the remark last night. thank you for being with us. your call to have people come out on the streets and we saw a lot of that last night and it seems like today, that call is really resonating. there is even more exponentially more how confident are you that will make a difference tonight? >> it is making a difference and it is making a difference in the community we've seen. member and women and children in the street to make a difference. my guys were out there yesterday during the chaos and we're out
5:20 pm
there again today. east and west baltimore. we're always out there. and the more people see, especially men in ourp commune -- in our community and that is why we've been pleading for more men to get involved in our community and get involved with our young people because we know the pain and suffering that we have and a lot of what they need is capital from a caring adult. >> and we were just talking to people who are standing in the line between police -- >> i was out there today. in one of the groups. >> we were just over at the cvs taking to -- talking to police and people linked arms and there was a 14-year-old girl out there brought out by her mom and her mom wants her to be part of this because it is history. >> right. >> do you believe that tonight will be different than last night? >> yeah. my hope is that it will be. it will be. there are many people out there trying to tell people this is not the way to get answers or to get justice or to try to repair
5:21 pm
and heal our city. all that comes from destruction is more destruction of neighborhoods and hearts and more destruction of families and people who live in those areas and can't go to work and feed their families any more. so we hope that it will be very peaceful. we saw peaceful demonstrations throughout the day. there were a few folks causing mischief but we had folks standing in between them and the police and saying no we can handle that. >> how do you handle that? what do you say? >> it depends on the person. can you talk to the guys here -- the 300 man march, we talk to young guys all of the time. we don't care how many men here in the city of baltimore, we're going to talk and we've been doing this for years there are different ways to resolve the conflict and you have to go at them with love. too many people go at them with too much. saying change your pants an your hair style and we ask them basic questions, what is your name? i love you and care about you
5:22 pm
and meet them with love and start there. we have to hold them accountable and let them know their actions are not approved by us as adults but we as adults have to do more. and this is not just a failure of government or systems, yes, that is all true. but it is afailure -- it is a failure of adults. this is something councilman scott was born into. i was born into a city of baltimore that was 150 times more difficult than it is today. >> what year were you born in. >> in 1984. >> you're making me feel old. >> baltimore isn't perfect and we've come a long way and we have a long way to go and we have to start today. >> and i talked to someone who lived through the '68 riots and the business districts were destroyed in that and the impact of that -- >> it is still there. the neighborhood they were in it is still -- >> how big of an impact of what happened last night -- >> i don't see it. we don't know. we have to see in days and weeks
5:23 pm
to come and we'll see it hopefully and we can do a better job of rebuilding and repairing than in 1968 because i was born into a city that still had buildings burpt out from 1968 almost 30 years later. >> councilman thank you very much. >> thank you, anderson. and there is more to talk about. we have a panel assembled here on the streets in baltimore and elsewhere around the country. joining us here in baltimore is our legal analyst sunny hostin a one-time resident of the area and a long time friend of baltimore's moyer. and also joining us is former baltimore police officer neal frank lip and also formerly with the state police and former nypd police officer harry houck and van jones. sunny, the mayor has come under a lot of flack and she's a friend of yours, what do you think of the response you have seen today on the streets?
5:24 pm
>> i think the response has been very positive. i've been here since this morning and i've been speaking to the residents and many feel the community has come together. i've been hearing one baltimore over and over." one baltimore. there has been a tide a change that i've seen from the community. i think there are certainly people who feel tense about what may happen this evening you can see that this evening and to feel that in the air. but by enlarge i think we're seeing a different climate than yesterday. >> and neal we're looking on the right-hand side our viewers are looking at live pictures i believe that is by the cvs and you see the line of citizens community members standing between the police and the crowds that have assembled and we've seen that all day. what do you make of the police response you're seeing now compared to what it was last
5:25 pm
night? >> well it's very different. i mean and obviously -- >> in terms of numbers but also what? >> in numbers and preparedness. just look behind you. even though the police are here in numbers, they are ready and prepared. it is the citizens who want to bring back the city. and can you see that now. and i thank you for showing that. i thank you for showing what baltimore is truly about. hearing from them -- >> we were talking to them at the top of the boston, and-- at the top of the broadcast, hearing there them that 14-year-old girl standing on that line that is what baltimore is. >> that is what baltimore is. what we saw last night, was a very very small portion of baltimore. and unfortunately, the under belly. these good citizens you see here that is predominantly what
5:26 pm
baltimore is about. it is not the few who will take the city down. because the citizens won't allow it. the police are ready, but the citizens will stand fast and prevent this from happening and bring baltimore fast. >> and you grew up not too far from this. >> not too far from pennsylvania avenue. >> you were ten years old. >> i was ten years old and we grew up on reservoir hill. the main drag through reservoir hill which was the business district we had the supermarket, and brookefield farmgs we had -- pharmacy we had beauty salons and barber shops and they burned to the 2k3wr0u7bd and -- burned to the ground and they never came back and to this day this community has no businesses. >> and we have some protesters heading this way and chanting and it will be interesting to see what sort of -- what occurs once they are here and what sort
5:27 pm
of police response there is. the last time they came a group of riot police did show up quickly afterward. there are state police around. there are also national guard around guarding the city hall. harry, in terms of the police presence how confident are you about tonight? >> i'm pretty confident. basically, i can't tell you how truly elated i am that the citizens -- the good citizens of baltimore have came out and taken their city back. i'm really ecstatic about this. and i would like to see this probably in every other city in this country. but as far as the police are concerned, we are ready. they have the national guard there. i don't think we'll have too many problems tonight. >> well let's certainly hope that is true. van jones, based on what you saw last night and what you heard president obama calling the rioters thugs today and community leaders taking issues with that what are your thoughts on that? >> first, i want to say you are
5:28 pm
witnessing a rebellion against the rebellion. a rebellion of hope tonight, a rebellion of dignity tonight. you are seeing great parenting tonight and a rebellion against the rebellion. and that is such a positive sign. sometimes out of a break-down you can have a break-through. what is happening tonight is breathtaking in its beauty. last night violence went viral and today peace is going viral. the hash tag is going viral. i'm proud that cnn is showing this to the world. i was in baltimore ten days ago. this is the real baltimore. i do think it is unfortunate, people get angry and indignant. the president and the mayor is a human being and you say stuff you are angry when you have a moment to reflect. i don't think saying thugs is correct. but i think you should say that we are going to hold these
5:29 pm
people to the highest standard but as adults we have to hold ourself to the highest standard but we have to hold our standards to the highest standard possible and thank god you are letting the people see it tonight, anderson. >> can i say something. you went to a shot to the empowerment temple where the ministers were gathered but that was not the important thing but it was the platform about the young people. yesterday was an uprising of the young people who had not been heard appropriately in the city and that platform given to them needs to happen over and over and over again. our young people are catching the brunt of this the unfortunate interaction with the police officers and some of the laws are questionable. that is extremely important. i hope we continue with that and that our young people become part of the healing process here and continue to have a voice. >> and we hear their voices not
5:30 pm
just in the wake of violent acts that we hear their voices when the cameras are gone we hear their choices when there is peace on the streets and people don't forget. >> and i think that is right. the one thing that i have heard -- have heard with many of the residents why are we only on cnn only talking about the riots and the looting, not talking about the issues that may have led to that. >> which i will say -- >> it is frustrating to many. >> i will certainly say that we have been talking about really nothing but those issues about the last ten or eleven days. >> i certainly have. >> we all have. >> many of them have been topical but we have not gotten down deep into the roots of the systemic issues in the criminal justice issues on a narl level, not just -- on a narl level not just here in baltimore or in ferguson, on a systemistic level. >> and there is -- van, quickly,
5:31 pm
because there is calls for national dialogue in the wake of violenceond a death and those calls dissipate over the days and that is a shame and something we need to correct. final thought, van and we have to go. >> and i wanted to point out, that the criminal justice system and policing but it is deeper than that. baltimore is one of the six poorest cities in the country. many of those are poor and desperately poor and there is a quiet riot going on for decades. i agree, anderson we need to do a much better job of talking to people on the front-end and investing on the front end rather than investing on the back end. >> appreciate it. van and harry houck, neal thank you and sunny hostin. thank you. we'll continue this conversation on the next -- in the next hours. we'll continue more here in the
5:32 pm

welcome back. we have just gotten word that police are giving a press conference in the 9:00 hour and we'll bring that to you live. in addition to the violence yesterday and today, we've also seen so many people as we've been talking about here in baltimore, standing up for their communities, helping to clean up and helping to try to keep others calm so there isn't a repeat of last night's violence and vandalism. last night we speak with a war haven't speaking in to talk to the young people causing trouble and taunting police and we were so touched by his words. take a look. >> sir, who are you? >> i'm just a soldier. >> and you sort of took upon yourself to tell those young people to go away? >> yes. >> are you a little bit concerned about your own safety, there are bottles and rocks? >> i did 30 years, okay.
5:37 pm
i have seen more than all of this. i've been through a lot already. this right here is not relevant. they need to have their butts at home. they need to be in their home units with their family and studying and doing something with their life and not out here protesting something about nothing. they do not respect this krung man's death -- young man's death. now mommy and daddy lost a child. that could be them. so i'm very pissed. >> what is your name. >> valentine. >> and your first time. >> robert. >> and you're a vietnam vet. >> yes. >> and you decided to come out here and stand up against these guys? >> yes. >> a lot of people would think twice, wouldn't they? >> i love my country, i love my charmed city and i'm an american and black, white yellow nothing. i'm american. >> are you concerned about what is happening to the community? >> yes. [ yelling ] >> i'm a green beret.
5:38 pm
>> and robert valentine joins me now. mr. valentine, so many people were moved about what you did last night. were you concerned at all about your own safety? >> no. i'm concerned about the youth. what will happen to them. they go out here androt and get locked up and get arrested and they can't get a decent job and i want to make sure they go home and do what they need to do to help themselves and do something with their life because they don't have no 401(k) out here in the streets. they need meaning an direction and purpose and this is what i want to see and this is what i felt hi to do. my buddy, the policemen, i'm proud of them. they are doing an excellent job. >> and you decided tonight to go back out on the street? >> yes. on pennsylvania avenue. i'm going right back.
5:39 pm
>> and what is your message to young people who might want to provoke violence? >> stop it. go home. get your books out and learn something. do something with your life. you're not going to make it out here on the streets. being a thug isn't nothing. be a man or a woman, if your going to have babies bring them up in a right or positive way. if your not going to do that have mercy. >> but it has to feel good to see so many people from the community, linking arms and doughing what you did tonight, out there today and out there on the streets tonight? >> they're doing it up there right now. we did it today. up until 10:00 today until i came down here. >> you've been doing it all day today. >> i'll be out there until the crack of dawn. i don't want to see nobody get hurt. that is my main thing. that's why i'm here. >> do you believe this is about
5:40 pm
freddie gray or does it go beyond that? >> it goes beyond that. it does. [ chanting ] >> there is a lot of justifiable anger in this community. >> uh-huh. they're taking it all on freddie. i don't believe freddie would have this. he was a good kid. what was he being chased for. what were they after? i think this is making them mad. personally i think he would be ashamed. this is a dishonor to him. it makes me mad. they should respect him. [ inaudible ]. they should teach him, not disrupt him. >> and i think people that are here now are protesters not looking to cause violence and let's hope to stays that way. it is an honor to meet you. >> you take care. >> you take care of yourself. take care out of there. >> we believe the authorities are looking to talk to the media
5:41 pm

5:44 pm
protestors and marching still going on tonight here at city hall. there is a group who has come and protesting holding up signs and singing, demanding for justice. and an hour and 15 minutes to go until a city-wide curfew taking
5:45 pm
effect. they hope keeping people off the streets from 10:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. will keep the peace tonight. more than 200 people, including 34 34 minors were arrested and for the first time tonight, the mother who pulled herself out of the rioting, the video of showing out her tough love has gone viral. her name is toya graham smacking her son who moments earlier had been throwing rocks at police. as you can see, she gave him a good -- well some strong verbal words. some are calling her parent of the year. here is what miss graham told cbs. cbs news a short time ago. >> i can see the objects being thrown at the police and i was in awe, oh, my god, this is happening right here with me. and lo and behold and i look around and i see in this crowd and my son is coming across the street with this hoodie on and
5:46 pm
a mask. at that point, i just lost it. and he gave me eye contact and at that point, not oefb thinking about cameras -- not even thinking about cameras or anything like that -- that is my only son. and at the end of the son, i don't want him to be a freddie gray. but to stand up there and vandalize police officers that is not justice. that is not what -- i'm a single mom and i have six children and i just choose not to live like that no more. and i don't want that for him. >> what were you thinking when you saw him? were you shocked -- >> i was shocked. i was angry. you never want to see your child out there doing that. there are some days that i'll shield him in the house just so he won't go outside. and i know i can't do that for the rest of my life. he's 16 years old. he's into the streets. >> what was his reaction when he saw you and you pulled him out of the crowd -- what was the ride home like?
5:47 pm
>> he said to me he said mom, when i seen you, my instinct was to run. i'm a no-tolerant mother everybody who knows me knows i don't play that. he knew. he knew. he knew he was in trouble. >> the family of freddie gray obviously, they want justice. and they also want peace. gray's mom pleaded for calm on the day her son was buried but did not receive that wish. joining me now, billy murphy the attorney for grey's family. thank you for joining me. tonight the family wants peace. how confident are you about what will happen tonight? >> call me stupid but i'm very confident that the worst is over. >> what makes you so confident? >> well i thip it is the spirit of the city. there are so many people who don't want violence compared to the few who do. and i think the spirit has infected everybody. >> and we're seeing with the people standing between police and with pastors who have come
5:48 pm
out into the streets and people like mr. valin tine who i was just talking to. >> the show of unity by the pastors and the adults' interjection into the situation was just masterful. i admire them so much for doing that. >> and there is attention of what may happen on friday the preliminary investigation by the police and it is supposed to be what handed over to authorities but it won't be made public correct? >> i think the public needs to know not to expect disclosure of anything on friday. because that is only a preliminary report by the police to the state's attorney's office. that is confidential. it is not meant to be disclosed. so i don't want anybody to be disappointed or upset because that is not disclosed. there is a good reason not to disclose it. they don't want anybody to be tipped off by any preliminary findings so they can tell a better lie for example or conceal the truth or intimidate
5:49 pm
witnesses. and so it is important at this stage that part of the prosecutor's investigation remain confidential. and that is usually how it is done and for good reason. >> do you worry there is the expectation that an indictment would be handed down on friday by people on the streets and that it is an unrealistic expectation and that might be a flash point? >> i'm very worried about that. and as a responsible member of the community and as somebody who has a real stake in this himself, me we have a duty to report the truth about what is going on rather than to fuel the flames of social unrest. and so i want to emphasize that this is not going to be a public disclosure. if it is all to the good. but if it is not, don't be disappointed because at this stage the investigation should remain in many ways confidential. >> and you saw people breaking into the stores last night, on the day of freddie gray's funeral. for you, personally what was
5:50 pm
that like? >> i was disappointed. so was the family. and it seemed to be fueled mainly by children. and you know they are reflecting -- profound negligent and they negligent children and how do you show that if they don't have proper parental exposure or health care and they don't have good role models so why point the finger of blame at them and their immaturity instead of neglecting them and so the right wing needs to wake up. children are children. they are not black children. they are just like your children. they are human children and they need to be cared for regardless of the political philosophy or religious beliefs and that is how it is done. >> mr. fur fee, i appreciate your time tonight, thank you.
5:51 pm

we are here outside of city hall and just want to point out we have a group about 40 or 50 or so mainly young people who have come protestors tonight. and tell me your name. >> lamar harris. >> so this is a group of young people who have come from all over. >> right. >> to come. why is it important to be out on the streets tonight? >> well one of the main reasons is because our mayor stephanie rawlings-blake has also said that -- has limited a lot of things in terms of resources to a lot of baltimore city youth. one of the biggest issues tonight is the curfew on baltimore youth. >> you don't like the idea of the curfew. >> it isn't that i don't like it as a collective a lot of resolutions haven't been presented to the black community
5:55 pm
on what can be done. the six officers haven't been charged yet with the crime. >> do you have any faith that there will be charged and that whatever the investigation is that it will be justice? >> no i don't. i don't have a lot of faith in the american justice system. i have immersed myself heavily with advocacy speaking with unjustices that occur with like [ inaudible ] and police brutality. but we don't see any issues resolved after the day is over and these cop goes home a lot of them go home with pay, some of them go home with more than pay -- >> you don't see justice happening? >> no. not at all. and it is reiterated through the community and the youth that we need to see some type of justice being done here and it goes from the high ranks to the low. >> we appreciate you being here
