nbc. good morning. today the as areas still battle over night fires, the police department issued this week. that statement less than 24 hours after freddie grays funeral. a day of mourning was abn evening of rioting. you're looking at pictures. over the weekend there were a

few moments of rest but not like yesterday. people locked arms in order of peaceful protest, but this morning the commune if i is on edge. >> one of the worst days in history, and all of us are ashamed because it does not reflect the city and we pray tomorrow that we start again. >> it's crazy for our young brothers to be doing that is crazy. >> what happened to him was wrong, but for them to mess up the city that we live at that's wrong too. they can protest and say what they have to say, but to mess up the city and for them to not live around here is not cool. >> it lead the governor to de declare a state of emergency. there's a night time curfew from

9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. baltimore schools have cancelled classes. many protesters were young people of high school age. not long ago they each addressed the media. >> what we see to want that's going on in our city is disturbing. it's very clear there's a difference between what we saw over the past week with the peaceful protests. those that wish to seek justice. those that wish to be heard and want answers, and the difference between those protests and the thugs who only want incite violence and destroy the city. >> this is our city and you have to live here. when you destroy i have seen cities that have not recovered. for those parents that have kids
