better in some instances than others but we try to show you the live coverage. we are attempting a delay so we can screen some of that out, but you have to bear with us. again, we'll be back again live at midnight and our coverage continues live now with sean hannity. stay tuned with us. thanks meghan. this is a fox news alert. chaos in baltimore tonight. the governor of maryland declaring a state of emergency in the city with the national guard tonight on stand-by. the baltimore police department saying 15 police officers have been injured after clashing with very violent protesters. the rioting continuing at this hour with protesters looting stores attacking police. and as we look at all that's happened we got looting, the burning of buildings, 15 police officers injured, one severely. rocks and bottles being thrown at police officers. a curfew is in place not tonight, but tomorrow night. you've got buildings ablaze cop

cars being burned cops doing next to nothing which is the question we'll be asking throughout the hour. you've got the crips, the bloods and islam saying they're going to be violent against police officers. on top of that you have a cvs burning, a looting of liquor stores and other stores in the area. and why aren't they doing anything? joining us now with the very latest developments on the ground is fox news reporter leland vitter who is out there. leland

leland. there's that smell of tear gas here, and it's hard to put into words the amount of violence we've seen. we've witnessed probably at least half a dozen stores being looted reports of many many more stores that have been looted. as you get a sense here sean as we've been standing out here and you see all the liquor bottles and things being thrown at blisspolice. the police had been retreated for a while. the clergy came out and said they asked the police to move all the way back and you have some professional agitators out here. obviously, sean now we're going to show you this fellow that said the police shot him. well -- we're going to let this sort of play out here as it goes.

you can see him showing -- here you go. that's some of the beanbag rounds that have come out here. and there's another side there as well. you get the sense of the amount of force that's out here. a lot of anger here. we're going to sort of walk back down over here and come back over to the other side here and give you a sense of this police line. you get a sense as you walk over here this is what's going on. >> racism. >> what we're hearing from folks is a lelvel of anger not simply about the recent deaths but what has happened over a long period of time in baltimore, and that is the anger that is now coming out on the streets, from the poverty to the racism that they say and other things as well. that's also coming out here. sean? >> leland it's a majority

minority police force. what does this guy want to say? >> you lived here 30 years. >> 30-plus years. >> reporter: >> reporter: are you angry? are you upset? >> i'm angry with all of them. i'm angry with them. i'm angry with my community handling the situation. >> reporter: when you say "them," you're angry at the police? >> absolutely. >> reporter: why? >> for the way they conduct themselves. like he said earlier, a man comes out here goes to work. next thing you know he's face down you know what i mean? they're patting him down they're treating him like he's a common criminal and he's trying to provide for his family. here's another scenario. they won't even tell us tell the public what happened why they stopped the man. >> you're talking about freddie. >> yes. why they beat him down. >> is this about freddie or about what happened in the community in general? >> what's happening now, i can't even say it's about freddie. i can't even say it's about

freddie, you know what i mean? because we are better than this. we are better than this but they're tight. >> you've lived here for 30 years. >> 30-plus. >> reporter: 30-plus. you now see a police line of hundreds of riot police lining up here you've got violence you've got fellows getting hit by beanbags, you got looting. it's got to break your heart. >> it does. it breaks the heart of america. it's sad they're doing what they're doing, but guess what? i'm going to keep them with you. they gave me a five-year parole sentence for a gun that wasn't even mine. why? because the baltimore police put the gun on me. when they keep doing stuff like this right here when i come out the door to go to work in the morning, and they throw me on my face and i'm skinned up -- what i'm saying is it's about freddie gray. but what i'm saying is the freddie gray situation was the

straw that broke the camel's back through, you know what i mean? everybody out here that's looting, that's rotten they have their own story. they have a story to tell themselves about what's happened to them the injustices that the baltimore police department -- >> reporter: what was your name? >> my name is frederick. >> reporter: frederick, i'm leland. nice to meet you. you say everybody has a story. the folks we just witnessed in the clash -- do you think in the end this is going to accomplish something or is it just blowing off steam? >> it's not going to accomplish anything -- it's going to accomplish something in the long run, because it's going to tell suburbia and white america -- excuse my french but the truth hurts. you got to live in pain -- it's going to tell america that we're tired of it for real. when you come out here and the police is doing all of this to you for no reason at all, because of your environment, you don't have to be a part of this

environment. you don't have to sell drugs, you don't have to be out here doing this you don't have to be out here doing that but you still get treated as such. therefore, when you get treated unjust as the baltimore city police department is doing, myself included -- >> reporter: let me ask you a question. you, too, mac. whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. >> are you serious? >> reporter: we don't know what happened behind us as we were interviewing frederick. i'm going to ask sarafin -- sarafin is our producer. >> she was standing there and all of a sudden they just rushed. >> reporter: we heard some things being thrown. did you see it david? we didn't see what brought this on but clearly the police who had been standing there in line ran out, bum-rushed everybody,

and we'll see right now if there is going to be any kind of movement. yep, we got this police officer asking us to move up and that's exactly what we're going to do right now. and you can see them come back. and we can't tell if they have anybody with them that they may be arrested or not. sean can you still hear me? >> i hear you fine leland. >> reporter: we're just going to sort of head back to the side of the street where our cars are. what's interesting is for a long time police had been retreating and you're watching them do that right now. we watched them retreat as there were liquor stores and everything else being burned but now there seems to be a much stronger and more forceful response. as the looting was happening, the police weren't doing anything and now we have the police helicopter flying over and i'm also hearing pops going on which it's hard to tell if that's gunfire, teargas, firecrackers. you just don't know on a night like this of what's going on. but clearly there are parts of baltimore now that are burning. and that's what you're watching

whether it be the street fires that we're seeing burning here the community center the cvs earlier, and there's a lot of folks willing to let their city burn. when they came out, there were folks cutting their fire hoses to let things burn. >> can you still hear me? >> reporter: i can still hear you, sean. >> earlier in the day the police were almost in retreat as rocks and bottles were being thrown at them. you're saying now they're getting mora gresse aggressive and moving into the areas where all of this is happening and the protesters are? >> reporter: it does seem like they're getting a little more more aggressive as things are going on. about an hour ago, we were at a street corner no more than a hundred yards from here and the protesters or rioters or looters, call them what you want came and they just looted these stores in front of the police and the police did absolutely nothing during the whole time. we now actually can look and see the front door where the police

had bum-rushed up here a little while ago. sean is going to come over here in one second. it seems like the police have gotten a little more aggressive as this night has gone on and probably with good reason as we're seeing more and more violence against the police. we've heard of another police injury. 15 police have already been injured. as the sun goes down in variably whatever police protesters go home because it gets dangerous out here and that's when the violence truly increases, sean. >> i have shawny over here. my name is leland vitter. it's nice to meet you. >> hi. >> reporter: you're the only sign i've seen out here. are you a little bit scared? >> no. >> reporter: are you scared of the police? >> no. >> reporter: and you're not scared of the protesters? >> no. >> reporter: why not? >> because there is a lot of

people. >> reporter: it has to break your heart. >> it does. i feel so bad because i know this doesn't have to happen. everybody gets in trouble, but they don't have to kill everybody about everything. >> reporter: is this about freddie gray or the deeper problem in baltimore? >> this is not just freddie gray. i've watched so many of our people get killed. i'm just tired of it and i have to do something. >> reporter: it looks like there may be some problem coming down the alley here. we just saw the police sort of re-form their lines. shawna and i are going to keep talking. do you think this is the way to solve things the looting and the rioting? >> absolutely not. this is not going to help anything. the way to do it is the way, you know our pastors have done it and our churches and our leaders, and the mayor. that's the way to do it. you know do everything peacefully let's sit down let's talk about this let's stop lethal -- >> we've seen to the police

credit tonight, we've not seen lethal force. we've seen beanbags -- >> yes, they have -- >> reporter: you say the police have been restrained? >> yes. >> reporter: do you think this is the start of something new? >> i hope so. >> reporter: shawna i appreciate your time. i hear someone speaking to me and it's a little line. >> sean what do you hear on the ground about the alliance between the crips, the bloods the black guerrilla family which is a known gang there, and even islam that is threatening violence against the police. >> it's tough to ask any of the folks who were probably involved in either of those groups those questions. we did that a little bit earlier, and that didn't end out so well. let's see if i can get shawna back over here. she might have a little perspective to share in terms of the gang activity here. there is no question though that there is targeting of law

ep enforcement going on here. we've seen it time and time again. we've seen the throwing of bottles, stones rocks. we've seen law enforcement being pelted with bottles and showing a lot of restraint. shawna handy was asking me a question. tell me about the gang situation. are the gangs trying to get together to go against law enforcement? >> no, no, they actually want peace. >> reporter: the gangs actually want peace. >> yeah. >> reporter: why is that? >> i'm so -- >> reporter: now we have tear gas going down. this is not exactly what you think of as a common american city. what's interesting is that the images are very similar to what we saw in ferguson sean and i would guess, but i don't know that the agitators are the same people but this is way more widespread. shawna just told me the agitators are are more here than

they were in ferguson. the amount of looting going on today probably equals what we saw in ferguson. there certainly have been more confrontations in more places. this reminds me of running street battles that you see occasionally in the middle east where i was for four years. it's not quite to that level, but it's getting there. you can imagine why there is no curfew tonight. why the mayor didn't put one in place, who knows, but it's clear that something will happen tonight. leland vitter on the ground. we're going to get back to leland throughout the hour tonight, and in just mere moments here. but first we have a local reporter on the scene. marina -- hey, there, we're actually in east baltimore, 20 minutes from west baltimore where everything happened. the funeral happened and the

protest started. the number of fire scenes that were on this play are working on this hour. that was to open up shortly. they're working on this fire here in east baltimore. we're going to pan over and you'll see the fire jenz. and a rowhouse also engulfed in flames. it's truly too bad the situation here. you almost wonder if this was done on purposes to employ resource here so. we don't have an accurate count at this second baltimore mayor saying 27 arrests earlier this afternoon. two police officers remain in

area 4079s. follow the unrest we heard here today, about 15 to 25 feet from where we are standing. >> we go back to li'l lee vanhitter. pretty much helping the police as i understand the situation. as you describe it, they are literally head to head between them. >> well it depend. sometimes it yust a couple feet as everybody. we're probably 75 yard from where the police are, and you look down right there. . the pad did i wagon is right there. they're putting a beat-down on a

reporter. somebody's heading it. >> leland can you ask that reporter what happened. >> yeah i'm going to ask you. -- so definitely the fellow who just got beat up said he doesn't want something beat up. matt matt hold on. this is mac's car. this is your car? a madeback. >> where. . people are angry, and we're at this street corner where this stuff has been going on.

sean, we're at what's called fulton avenue. fulton and this is north avenue that we're on. north avenue is where we've been the past couple hours and where we watched the looting and the fighting between police. what's interesting, though sean as you see, all this group down here dozens of folks, fires being set, a number of storms had him lootd. and so far the police weren't down here. mac, you watch the folks up there, the police up there, and we're walking down here. what do you think about the police not doing anything and coming down and stopping this? >> that's what i'm trying to say. they let -- let's just shut it down. why y'all down there. >> reporter: why are the police down there? >> there ain't nothing going on down there. >> reporter: it certainly seems like the residents are upset. we're going to come down this way and you get a sense of

burning. i sense a little tear gas. i'm not sure how much there is. you've been taking some pictures out here sir. >> yeah. >> reporter: what do you think about all this? >> people are just showing their frustration. it's just out of hand. and as much as the awareness of black people getting messed up by police that they would go and kill somebody? come on man. it's boiling over is all i can say. >> reporter: i'm sorry; what? >> it's boiling over the tension is boiling over. >> you say the tension is boiling over but you got them doing all this and -- >> i got to go to work. i've dealt with this enough. >> reporter: i have that same feeling every day. stay safe all right? >> you do the best you can to get your folks off the block. they're disturbing this youth.

if they leave, they'll leave. >> reporter: we wish you a safe drive, and hopefully you can get repairs done to your car. >> thanks mac. we're going to walk down a little bit. you get a sense of what's going on in this street corner. i can't see because of the smoke -- >> leland can you hear me? >> one of the things rudy giuliano if one bottle of water is thrown the flis react. we watched the cops being pelted with with. .

the only police officers i have. ublg see the looting going on in the street corner. we have two posters. they're burning it and then you have liquor going on in the five-finger discount here. police have a few feelings here. number one, they're outnumbered, clearly, when you look at the people around here. two, it seems like they don't want to in flame things. whether that was a conscious choice or whether they've been given that command, we have baltimore, maryland coming in here. they're trying hard not to in flame the situation. whether they're able to do that or not, i don't know. >> what's amazing is they have every indication after saturday night that this was all happening. this happened all afternoon this afternoon.

>> reporter: they burned the cvs, there's no curfew. and this is a key point. you're watching the looting going on right here. two liquor stores i'm here on the street and where we were when we first. . it does bog gel your this is violence this is thooefry this is people's. they took everything and the police have done nothing. as i get my bearings here and realize the has retreated. in about it 00 let ra han run

wild on the streets. as you get more people in the city to talk to we'll go back to you throughout the hour. i want to invite in first former nypd detective mike meyers new york civil rights coalition. we're watching all this. this started saturday. we have looting and burning of buildings, rocks and boulders being thrown at police officers and bottles and cop cars burning. the police on television retreating. mayor giuliani had a rule. one rock thrown one bottle thrown and you get those people immediately, and it ends right there. what are they thinking here? >> it's very obvious that these cops are directed not to take action. we had it over here in new york -- >> but the people who are endangered here are the good

people of the united states. >> we had it when the shadow would love to go in there and they should be allowed in there to make arrests. these people are looting, they're hitting cops. their doing all these srts. if you think these are ordering because because. >> where is the mayor? if she puts the occur tew on tomorrow we have. >> the baltimore mayor said she literally gave space to the rioters to destroy them. >> you have a bullet.

she was the david jejins. they have a failure of. . isn't there a command structure. >> in broad daylight today, at 3:00 this afternoon, they had six hours to plan and protect the city on this night. had they brought in enough manpower to break this up which are in their storms. >> the rough yann. >> they're going to be in the streets that you see bear poke.

they're looting and robbing. >> you're not jig looked at. they. . we don't know including everybody in baltimore. if the investigation is going on they ought to be revealing it it. that mayor should have gotten on there to say, we're fully investigating this. she's not a leader the leader ted. 90% of the kids the prkt jrk j. >> let me go to sheriff david clark. he's watching these as well.

you're watching what seen the eye, the cop car is being burned. police in full retreat early not what is your section to the handling of all of this. >> first of all, the social order in baltimore is totally eclipsed. the four cop-. there obviously wasn't a plan to deal with this thing. but one of the things i hate to see is that the consumer ask. i'm going to get back to that issue. leland vittert is. what's going on? >> sean the rioting has continued, the looting as

continued on the street attorney r r. and the livelyhoods that are ending here are clear. . there's two lick r stores here you've bep filling in soft stuff how here today. this is your community, you're from baltimore. how does it make you feel? >> it's really heart-touching. >> breaks your heart? >> the people have a lot of anger. the young people i've talked to here are the anger.

which way. . it's justified in a way wrl. >> you think this might be about themselves? >> some might be. >> how does looting get you answers? . they think they're justifying themselves. >> we talked to a lot of residents who live on this street street. >> it's very upsetting, it's heartbreaking, but -- >> do you think the police want to do it other than own yum.

it takes 2 to do up to do because their. . you think it's going to cool down? we saw what happened in baltimore after martin doouter king was killed on the first couple nights five people killed hundreds of arrests, five different fires. do you think we'll have that again? >> no. i just went to east shiloh. >> and when you tell them not to do this to you,. they won't have to listen to us? yeah i believe they are willing to listen to us.

>> the. i got the answers from him. we're going to go through one of the protesters. adam jackson is the leader of the pres. we're l. we got. you got looting going through the stets of walt more first and foremost i'm not going to talk about the violence people stilling you go. that have been fires burning of. isn't the police department a minority majority piece of politics isn't this the most run city in addition to their kir brax. >> you said my.

and you're talking about the baltimore individuals racist? >> we're not talking about the bellmore john a jada. he's not in office anymore. the general allege. >> i assume every person in baltimore loves their city. you love your question right? so you're watching your city burn before america tonight, you're watching innocent store owners sheeg their entire lif. you see. is this how you protest? its going around the fire. this is madness anterior.

>> you cannot talk about this. i need to start the day. we can't be talking about any of this when i start about fum inging. looting and burpg and throwing rocks at officers and burning police officers' cars and racing cars threw fire as we sfwu. i do not think have a sense a. >> let we about back to sher clark. . let's go back to saturday night when the. they came to camden park. they were told they had to stay inside the stadium. outside there was violence going

on. that happened on sunday. today is monday. earlier this afternoon we saw. >> that they are not prepared or lack of leadership tonight. . >> no plan no operational plan. this isn't the fault of baltimore's finest on the street. like i was saying before they were led to slaughter in this situation. is for is have those things right now? to have called for a curfew tomorrow is misbrukt. i'm still treeg cashing. i see people lining the weets

steez stand-offs between lines of police and lines of rioters out there, that is not good. people are going to get hurt and killed. >> they already are. leland bitter the dlooifr of that car were. those cars aren't going to race any time, p by do do doing it. it's not an. and jit u.s. sdettlely did he pukt and now you see the car that's in the center of the street. it's actually interesting. there was a car in the center of the street a couple hours ago, and now we have two more cars 2

fifth in here sell. and it's really hard to say that everyone. . nobody knows anything. >> thaet an rmt. >> when you see the anger that's directed at the police, that's what people say to you, that they are angry. this kind just bay pi and said, goent goent. i haven't been able to give the did he. i want to bring in a gentleman

here-thee would say. i'm a methodist minister and i've nen. >> when you watch this what are you thinking? >> very sad, of course. it's a sad commentary on today's national climate and local climate as well. >> reporter: do you think the police are doing the right thing by letting this go on? >> i'm not sure about that. i guess everybody is trying to make the best choices they can. >> reporter: that can't be a good choice what we're watching. >> that's true. you're putting lives in danger you're -- it's just a bunch of mayhem. it's a very dangerous situation for everybody.

>> as you've talked to the folks on the street here do you get the sense this is about freddie gray or this is just an excuse to loot and riot? >> i think you'll always have people who are willing to explore any kind of newsworthy event. i think you do have some of those. i think you also have people who are very sincere about seeing resolution and social change. you've got poverty issues and things like that. >> reporter: we are in an area that has a lot of poverty for sure. you do hear folks who are out here. every one i've talked to out here peaceful and otherwise -- obviously the folks we've seen have not been peaceful -- have talked about how angry they are at the police how angry they are about freddie gray. what's interesting is the same police aren't really doing anything to protect all these folks who are here. so this police department is so violent and so out of control,

you would wonder why they aren't responding in that way. whether there's been order gienven or not. the fire lines down here and the police line up there just 50 to 75 yards. there's a swat vehicle and all that stuff, and they're not moving down to stop it including the fellows in those cars crashing into each other, and i think we actually have another car down there on fire as well. it's 11:00 tonight in baltimore and the city is certainly on the verge of burning tonight. >> we continue down here. this has nothing to do with freddie gray but there are questions here. that is here freddie gray sees two cops on a bicycle. he takes off. they arrest him. there's a large crowd beginning to gather. he's saying that he's hurt.

they put him in the back of the car, and in the end, we've got, what a double broken vertebrae. it's reported that his spine is 80% separated infrom his neck and he dies. but we don't know what happened. >> you had a police commissioner who said he interviewed five of the six cops. >> right. >> he still saw the video. a guy was writhing in pain and cops were pulling him in the police van. we still don't know what happened. >> the baltimore sun said he had asthma and he was asking for an inhaler. >> my point is a police commissioner watched that video and said i don't see anything wrong. this is a commissioner that's deaf dumb and blind. he has to resign. >> let's all agree to agree that there has to be an in-depth investigation and the people that did this to this young man,

if in fact they did do this should be prosecuted. >> they put him in the van without being -- >> this does not justify my eyes watching these police officers stand -- >> this is off the subject. >> no this is the subject because it's the question of baltimore with these cops. >> let me bring in cheryl clark. cheryl clark, i want you to weigh in on what we know about freddie gray what we know about the arrests, the limited video we have. an amount of days have passed. there has been nothing disseminated to the public in terms of examination. let me ask how they're handling the pr season. sheriff? >> it's been horrible. it's obviously been horrible. we don't know enough -- i don't know enough i'll speak to myself to make any comments really about i hear so much about, well we don't know i

might answers. this looks like some riot in some third world nation. total chaos, total an arcy and the police standing by. for all shares. what your sister would look like without the police. cheryl take us from what happened with freddie gray to camden yards earlier, to the video we saw all day today with rocks and bottles being thrown at the officers and them retreat. how would you have handled this differently so we would have seen the burning and the city? >> i would have been in constant local communication not only with city officials but behind the public. behind the scenes we would have been planning. we would have been quickly

planning knowing something like this might happen. the governor i thought she was a little. the mayor is totally lost. >> and, of course the curfew begins tomorrow. nationwide sheriff, we have a problem. that is you have an alliance that is now merged between the crips, the bloods the black guerrilla family the nation of islam, and they're threatening violence against all police officers. how do officers now get to do their job knowing they are being targeted by violent gang members? >> it's about having the resources. cops live in a state of hypervigilance all the time. we know that. it's something that we volunteered to do. at the same time though we're not going to put up with any kind of nonsense. i tell you right now, if these criminal crooks want to declare a war on the police a lot more

of them are going to end up dead than police officers. it's not going to work out well for them. >> clark, stay there. we're going back to leland vitter. probably has nor. >> things down that area were getting a little hostile, but we found joann on our way back. joann, what can you tell us about that. z. angry, i'm upset. this is my neighborhood. this is where we live the emotions are soaring. they don't understand that this is affecting our community, okay? you have mothers out here that are crying our children are dying, the police are lying. they've been lying for decades about the abuse that i'm subjecting our children to. you got the media sitting right

here, spig. for deck ids apd-- they're telling the outrageous behavior between the police and the african-american community, but no one has been listening. >> as we watch this scene unfold here and just behind you, you go look over there. this is american. >> is it going to make a difference or do you think it just makes everybody around america. no one is going to listen. this has been going on for decades over and over and over go go. you can check in each and every -- >> is this about freddie gray or is this about freddie gray. this is just icing on the cake.

this is letting the people know. >> leland we're talking -- sean i want you to ask us. if the minority. what is it about them that she does not like. how did she get to so strong bus tekt. the police department here as mostly minorities. >> why do you think you have a police department and these things yet we're hearing the same kind of affair out of you when there's alone, or are there other problems. >> i certainly got roads around merlin you understand? >> you mean on a break.

>> we have to take a break here. leland vitter by the way, thank you for great reporting, courageous reporting on the ground in baltimore. we have to take a quick break. we'll come back. we'll have more of our continuing coverage as baltimore burns, as looting continues tonight on "hannity." ♪ if you're looking for a car that drives you... ...and takes the wheel right from your very hands... ...this isn't that car. the first and only car with direct adaptive steering.

this is a news fox alert. we're awaiting a press conference from the gray family and their attorney. we're live on the ground in west baltimore. you can see fires and looting that has gone on excessively this afternoon, 15 police officers in ballot more were injured as rocks and bottles and boulders were thrown at them the city is burning in multiple locations tonight. cop cars have been burned. police have been in retreat most of the day and night tonight. we've got an alliance concerned all officers around the country about crypts and bloods and gangs in west baltimore. and violence against police officers we have a cvs looted and burned a a senior center burned.

and leland has been reporting tonight for the fox news channel. what is the latest leland? >> sean, the fires continue to burn the police continue to do nothing. to give you a sense of the battle line from the cvs burned in that direction, 100 yards down this. there is not anything left in the stores. they stole it all or burned it all down here over the past hours there has been a lot. they have stolen. joanne is a senior watch. joanne, dave come over. we're going to step out of here. there is a lot going on. folks are very upset. you look you can see the police back here. doing nothing. that is something joanne has been talking about a lot. joanne, you can see the police

there. the fires burning and looting down over there. police aren't doing anything. why do you think that is? >> this is a normal occurrence in the black community. nothing strange. >> we don't see this happening. >> no. don't see this. i'm talking about their reactions to incidents in the community. you know? >> you think the police don't care about you? >> it's a proven fact. you know? we have emergencies in our community. >> we're watching this at 11:00 at night now. things are getting worse. we just saw here with smashed bottles and these things. it's got to break your heart. >> of course it does. my parents lived in house 29 years. we've never seen the level of violence that is occurring here recently. you know? and it's getting worse. >> do you think it's going to get worse tonight? >> i hope not.

as you can see, as time goes along it's getting more frequent and violent. and as you're seeing this joanne, when you talk about what is appreciated about why you're upset about the poverty in this neighborhood and difficulties for folks to get out of here. but do you think this is going to solve anything? >> of course not. >> yes. i'm here sean go ahead. >> no. she has a point here. i don't agree that the police don't care. somebody made a decision probably a politician to hold the police back and put them in retreat and didn't give them resources they need to keep the city safe tonight.

this was coming all day. so someone made a decision not fro detective people in the city tonight. mike meyers what? >> the governor has got to act now. not tomorrow he's got to send in the national guard and take over the city. restore law and order now. >> the citizens need to know the city is safe and not being burned and looted and robbed and cops don't get hit with bottles and rocks like today. >> governor has to be watching television. >> governor is an idiot. >> why didn't he call an emergency meeting and take charge? >> send in the national guard right now. >> yes. >> let's go back to adam jackson. i understand your anger and grievance. but you can't support this.

this is the city of baltimore. the majority of citizens that are scared to death in their homes tonight watching this. you should as a protestor and leader, are you not going to say stop looting? stop the burning? stop the violence? >> as i mentioned before first and fore most i'm a grass roots activist working on the ground. >> when talking about violence and looting my point is that when you look at this small piece of what's happening to black people. people like tyrone west freddie gray and other black people are being slaughtered by police for decades there are public policies in place that slaughtered black people. that is the focus. >> adam do you know what happened to freddie gray? you don't. nobody knows right now. we do need answers. i'd like to know what happened they have a right to know what

happened but they don't know. and one of the problems is the president just like in the michael brown case doesn't know what happened but he's sending white house representatives to the funeral. just like in the michael brown case. doesn't that send a message? >> how about having a civil rights investigation? >> right now if the president of the united states is watching what is going on i'm glad heesz getting involved in this, this is out of control. >> where is the president? sheriff clark? why is he not saying stop the violence? innocent people need to be protected. why isn't he sending national guard troops there? at as the city burns tonight, sheriff? >> well i don't think he wants to be near this. he doesn't want this stain on him. >> he doesn't want to protect the people there? >> well once you get there, cops have been slaughtering black people for decades. no. black people have been slaughtering other black people

for decades. this needs to be laid at the foot of the democrat politicians in firm control of cities like baltimore and other urban cities across america. it's the failed liberal government policies that have made people dependant on government. government doesn't have answers for failing schools and entrenched poverty. this is what you're ending up with. >> in a minute let me ask you. you know the facts as presented. what do we think that the city should be communicating to the people about freddie gray? do you think this is connected to freddie gray? >> well. no. i don't think this is connected to freddie gray. job one is restoring order in the streets. other things can be communicated at the same time they have to clear the streets. of vehicular traffic and

pedestrian traffic. let this simmer down. as long as people are allowed to mingle in the street and tomorrow -- >> sheriff, sheriff, thank you. leland, great job tonight and everybody else. we go now to the family. >> it's 11:00 p.m now in baltimore. "hannity" mentioned the family is to begin a new conference in just a moment. this is live coverage. these are live pictures there, there is mayhem here west baltimore. we'll see a police news conference to begin immediately. during that we're hoping to
