good morning, everyone i'm tamron hall. this is "news nation." we begin with breaking news. baltimore is on edge this morning after a night of chaos and violence and within the hour the governor, larry hogan, will meet with state and community leaders and we plan on carrying a news conference from that group after the meeting. a state of emergency remains in effect, school and state offices are closed and the national guard is now on the ground in that city, by the way, for the first time since the 1968 riots following dr. martin luther king jr.'s death. a week-long curfew for the city will go into effect for tonight at 10:00 p.m. eastern time. buildings were still smoldering in west baltimore as people woke up to ash and broken glass from the riots and looting. earlier baltimore's mayor got an up-close look at the damage along with the governor who vowed there will quote, be overwhelming display of law

enforcement on the streets tonight. >> what happened last night in baltimore city is not going to happen again. this violence is not going to be tolerate tolerated. we are going to bring in all the assets and all the support we need to make sure that the citizens of baltimore city are safe and that we bring peace back to the city. >> the violence erupted only hours after the funeral service was held for freddie gray. during the service, his family issued an emotional plea for peace. >> i want you all to get justice for my son but don't do it like this here. don't tear up the whole city, man, just for him. it's wrong. >> at the same time gray's funeral, his family as they were burying him, this large crowd and many others like it mainly teenagers, reportedly fuelled by social media faced off with police throwing rocks and bottles. 15 police officers were injured.

take a look at this map, it shows just how widespread the violence was. the initial clash with police started outside a mall on the west side spread towards downtown. check cashing store, cvs, as well which was burned along with a senior citizen center under construction and other businesses. nbc's rahima ellis is in baltimore, joining us right now. a lot to talk about, but looking back at last night and how quickly it grew out of control, many are questioning the mayor and city leaders as to the timeline and why it seems we were all watching this play out and these crowds were growing and the police visibility was minimal at some points. >> reporter: indeed. in fact i talked to some people out on that corner of north and penn where that cvs was burned down and some people even think that the police may have -- their action or lack of action may have contributed to this crowd getting out of control. so many of them told me there was a very distinct difference

between those protesting and those that decided to riot. this morning i was just over there, as i say, and what we saw were neighbors taking back their neighborhood and they were doing it on their own. it was not a group of residents who were saying they were waiting for the sanitation crew, they were not. they came out with their own plastic bags shovels dust pans and they said this is what they wanted to do. in fact, i talked with a man who told me why he was here. just listen. >> i'm here on my own free will i dropped my wife off for work covered here just to see what i can do to help. i love my city. i love the people that live here. >> reporter: you sound pained, even this morning. >> i am. i am. i am. >> reporter: that's what i heard all this morning from residents, saying that they are pained by what has happened. this is their city, it's their

community, and they are very heart broken that this happened. many of them say that this was not necessarily about freddie gray but this is about the condition that they live with every single day in this city where the poverty rate is very high and where more than 80% of the children and the schools come from low income communities. in fact, more than 80% of them qualify for free and reduced lunch, tamron and they say so many of the young people here, they can't get jobs they can't have opportunities for schools and as a consequence, they don't have hope. and that's what you saw spill out into the streets last night, a lack of hope that so many young people are feeling. but many people tamron say that they do not want this to happen again. in fact, the gentleman you just heard, he says he doesn't think it will happen again. everybody around him was saying they hope that he's right. >> all right, rehema thank you so much. let me bring in monica with vice news, she's been on the ground in baltimore and saw much of the violence up close last night.

monica, thank you so much for joining us. i think we've lost our connection with monica. we hope to get her back on. but meanwhile, let me just move on to the fact you have a number of religious leaders, as we pointed out, who planned to meet with the governor a little bit later. they are trying to restore order to the town. you saw those remarkable images just a short time ago, citizens who decided to get up go to work and then if they had a break, try to clean up early this morning. and last night, pastor jamaal bryant delivered the eulogy at freddie gray's funeral. a lot of people have been discussing his remarks and really the call for peace from the family that went unheard, the stirring words, nevertheless, were very strong. >> freddie's death is not in vain. after this day we're going to keep on marching. after this day we're going to keep demanding justice. >> reverend jamaal bryant joins me now. reverend, thank you so much for your time.

>> i'm honored, thank you. >> so when you were watching all of this play out yesterday after the funeral, after you hear a family and they are grieving more than anyone else because they knew him firsthand, personally, and they are calling for peace and you look out and you see the television coverage, look out the window and see what was happening, what did you think, what went through your mind? >> i was shocked and dazed, first, because yesterday we called for a moratorium on marches. there was supposed to be no protests at the request of the family, that they wanted to have complete closure with no demonstration. so for us to be coming back from the cemetery to be met with the news that baltimore was ablaze was disheartening, to say the absolute least. >> i watched social media a lot last night trying to get a grasp on how people were reacting to these images. a couple of people said listen by asking people to adhere to a curfew, to not go out and protest, you're asking them to

be silent that you're asking them to be passive and that is what some are, they say, wanting to resist here. what is your response to that? >> absolutely not. our movement here in baltimore, calling for complete redress of the criminal justice system, we've been able to do it without escalating incidents, as you saw last night. in that you can have a voice, but it still doesn't give you in frustration license to burn down cvs. that doesn't give us justice for freddie gray or to set a car on fire, to throw a rock at a police officer doesn't tame the tide of what's taking place in our city. >> what are you planning today to try and combat any possibility that this could happen again or maybe even a worse scene? >> schools are closed here in baltimore, we're under martial law, if you can even imagine 5,000 officers from the national guard who are now walking through our city it's hard to

even digest, but because schools are closed i've opened up my church for high schoolers to come and we're really teaching them the history of civil disobedience. we're going to show them the film "selma," and then much to their surprise this afternoon, we're taking them into the streets to assist with the cleanup, because i think we have a responsibility to our own community. >> i want to play this video that's gone viral of a mother who apparently somehow spotted her son in the midst of all of the chaos and confronted him, even hitting him, as you see here. as we understand, she was embarrassed to see him there and had her own form of discipline for him. heard you and others say parents have to get involved. parents have to play a role in this. what have you heard back from people who saw this moment? >> i'm looking for her address to send her a bouquet of ftd flowers as mother of the year because what you saw out there

was not thugs and criminals, they were children. and our parents have got to take responsibility and authority. that's not the mayor's job or the governor's job. our parents need to pull them back in. our children have in fact the benefit of the civil rights movement, but don't understand the sacrifice. and as a consequence, we've got to pull them in so that we don't raise a generation who has a false sense of expectation without thinking they have to do anything in order to receive something. >> reverend, thank you so much for your time, we greatly appreciate it. now let me bring in monica, she is with vice news, as i mentioned, she's on the ground in baltimore and saw much of that violence close up last night. monica, thank you so much for your time. >> reporter: thank you, tamron. >> right now you have the schools closed a lot of people are concerned that that could be the recipe the key ingredient for more disaster here when you have a number of teenagers sitting around who may be communicating again on social media, if that's how this was set off in the first place.

what are you hearing about the possibility that this could ignite some time soon? >> reporter: well, that's a very good question, and you're absolutely right. i mean, it's important to tell your viewers that what ignited what happened yesterday was basically the partly social media, like you say, but also because public transportation was not available for the youth who were out in the streets already protesting. some peacefully some not. obviously, attending the funeral. so because of the lack of transportation, they were stuck in the streets and then things started to get out of control, and, of course, the looting and the rioting started. these people, what we're hearing on and on again and it could be happening more as you say, it's hard to tell, but we were certainly being told that this baltimore right now is a pressure cooker. i mean, it's been building and building and people are so angry. yesterday was sort of some trigger that ignited the whole thing. whether it will go on for a while or not remains to be seen.

there's a lot of animosity, tamron, and a lot of resentment towards the police. >> speak to the animosity. i want you to speak to what people are telling you specifically there why they are so angry. i believe there was a quote vice news put out where this man said, i'm a father i don't want to be on the streets protesting but i have to be, and he didn't want to be grouped into what people conveniently referred to as thugs. there was a clear separation of folks who want to see justice here, who want their frustrations heard, and those who will choose to carry out other acts. >> absolutely, people were telling us all the time, members of the community but they are targeted by the police a lot, sometimes unfairly a lot of the people we spoke to have been in prison at some point, sometimes they said unfairly as well. there is outrage. general outrage towards authorities and you can see it because every time police car or a truck drove by a fire truck even, people would throw stones

and rocks at them. we saw that. they don't trust authorities, and i think that is sort of the root of the problem. they are outraged because people keep on being treated like they say, treated freddie gray and not giving any explanation, so all this anger is sort of being exploding in every direction, if you will and very interestingly, as well gang leaders who we spoke to say that they are not behind any of the protests or they are not controlling this in any case. it's sort of spontaneous and organized through social media as you mentioned. >> we're looking at live pictures, showing our audience, as well, monica of people. they've formed a circle, almost a prayer circle it seems like and others there cleaning up. i'm curious, we look at ferguson and it's obviously, a simple comparison people can make between what we saw there, very different city makeups, city leadership. with ferguson you had a majority white police all of the council

members or most of the council members, the mayor, city leaders were all white. yesterday we watched news conference the face of leadership a black female, a black male there, and all of those ministers and community leaders, many of them, again, african-american. does that resinate at all with these young people who are frustrated and feel that they are demonized and they don't have a chance? >> absolutely. they are frustrated and they are demonized and a lot of them told us they have jobbed but some of their friends don't and they are not giving equal opportunities. i think it's just a lot of frustration and causes that are deep rooted and frankly, a lot of people told me it's good that the nation really has a spotlight on us right now, because we want to show them what we feel every day. this is sort of what every day's like and that's interesting, because in other areas people were thinking that the national guard is telling they felt more secure, but in these projects where we were yesterday, actually very close, one of the places burnt down was the last place where freddie gray was

seen, people said we are a good community, we're a solid community, and we don't feel anymore tension. this is a sort of day-to-day life for us. this is what we live every day and we're glad that the whole world is concentrating on this right now, because there is a racial problem. they clearly talked about the racial problem, too, as you mentioned. the police were not confronting them directly. we saw places being looted without the police acting. there were more sort of in a standoff. it will be interesting to see how this develops. in ferguson it wasn't clearly the case. >> monica thank you so much for joining us. and joining me by phone, the president and founder of 300 men march movement that group has been seen on the streets speaking out against the violence in baltimore. munir, thank you so much for joining us are you there? >> i'm here thank you. >> like many others watching the video yesterday, i saw members of your organization the 300 men march coming through with the black and white t-shirts. you were trying to make a statement against violence.

i know you've been doing this pretty much every week since the summer of 2013 taking a stand against violence, so this is as if you and members of your group got in the game yesterday, but what were they confronted with as they tried to bring the message of nonviolence, but still a powerful message that change needs to be implemented? >> well we were met with respect. we didn't have any incidences where we felt threatened or anything. we were well respected in the community, people know our message, and there's a lot of the young people we engaged yesterday embraced the message, even as we gave a few speeches throughout the events that transpired last night. so you know for us i think we give baltimore hope a lot of young people and old people respond to us respect us so we wanted to use that reputation and that platform yesterday to bring some type of calm as well as just a sense of hope and

leadership that a lot of these young people were just missing. it was just leadership a lack of leadership. >> but everything we saw that you were outnumbered, the voices of calm last night and many of the images appeared to be outnumbered. particularly when you see the rocks, the bricks being thrown there. how do you describe those who chose to burn the cvs, those who chose to throw the rocks and some of the other violence? how did you describe those young people? >> well we were not there at that exact point. we touched ground at around 7:00 and we actually moved our forces more west on north avenue towards fulton street monroe street, and smallwood area which was another violent intersection, so you know we came after the incidents that transpired on pennsylvania and north avenue and as it was getting dark you know that gave rise to a lot of incidents that were happening. and that's where we were trying

to bring calm to on the western end of north avenue. >> again, for people watching this, we heard the mayor use the word "thug," all kinds of descriptions you've talked to these young people. how do you describe them folks that are desperate? how do you describe those who have chosen to take the complete opposite route of what you and your organization are trying to advocate, which is nonviolent protests? >> well you know the folks are misguided. that's all. that's the only term i would use, misguided. i wouldn't describe them any other way, just their energy is misguided. some of their frustrations are valid, their concerns you know possibly, for those who really may have legitimate concerns were there also opportunists outside? yes, who really don't care about nothing, but, you know there as an opportunity, so yes, you have a mix of elements of folks that are involved in situations like this. it's just not one person or one type of person that is engaged.

it's people with different personalities and different intentions and motives that's why they get involved. >> moving ahead to tonight, obviously, all of our worst fear is this could escalate. certainly none of us want to see that. what are you and your group able to do at this point, even with this curfew that will start tonight at 10:00? >> well we're out right now just for the purpose of engaging, you know the community and young folks that we see. we started early. we have about 100 guys in east baltimore now to engage that community. so you know it's important to clean up the physical trash, but we know it's equally important is to engage the young people so if they are on the fence about today in terms of what they are going to do we want to try to deter them. >> thank you so much for your time. and, obviously, so many people are applauding the work of your organization and that attempt to bring peace, but also continue to focus on mr. gray's death and the investigation. and that should not be forgotten, why this and how this

started. thank you so much for your time. >> yes, thank you. >> we'll continue to monitor the breaking news for you out of baltimore. coming up i'll talk live with a city councilman who says he does not want the city to repeat the riots of 1968. plus reverend al sharpton will join me live. he's on his way to baltimore to meet with local residents and also the mayor. also ahead, another breaking news story we've been following, of course the supreme court will decide whether all states must allow same-sex marriage. up next i'll talk live with the ceo of glad and an attorney who helped overturn california's prop 8. and certainly, you can join the conversation online. you can find the team team @newsnation, and i'm on facebook, twitter, and instagram. back with more. doers. they don't worry if something's possible. they just do it. at sears optical, we're committed to bringing them eyewear that works as hard as they do. right now, save up to $200 on eyeglasses. quality eyewear for doers. sears optical when it comes to good nutrition...i'm no expert. that would be my daughter

welcome back. we will continue to monitor the

development out of baltimore, but now we turn to the other breaking news story, the supreme court right now. the justices are hearing arguments on one of the biggest issues of our time same-sex marriage. that as demonstrators on both sides of the issue rally outside the court. however, demonstrators there supporting same-sex marriage greatly outnumber opponents. there are, too, though questions before the court this morning. first, whether the constitution requires states to license same-sex marriages. second whether a state is required to recognize same-sex marriages that are legal in another state. the specific case before the court is a consolidation of six separate lawsuits from four states that currently ban same-sex marriage. michigan, ohio kentucky and tennessee. the justices will hear two and a half hours of arguments, no live broadcasts from the supreme court, but the audio recording of the arguments will be released. the first part will be released in the next hour. let me bring in our "news nation" panel. attorney john shiler was part of

the team that overturned virginia's ban on same-sex marriage last year, also on the team that turned over california's ban on same-sex in 2010. also mary kate ellis, president of g.l.a.d. thank you both for joining us greatly appreciate you joining us here. let's start and discuss since you've had great success on this issue, the legal layout of the land here. >> thank you very much for having me here this morning. what the court is going to see this morning is arguments from i believe, six different attorneys representing the various parties at interest the states that are seeking to uphold their ban, the citizens who are seeking to have their marriages recognized within ohio, or other states or citizens who have moved to those states and legally been married in another state, and the government. and the government and the administration is going to argue for the supreme court to apply what's called the strict

scrutiny test in overturning these bans. if the court accepts that argument, they can't uphold the law. every decision that is considered strict scrutiny requires a compelling government interest and what we know here is there is no government interest in upholding these bans. they hurt the community, they hurt the children in these relationships, and they deprive these citizens of dig any tity. >> the children are at the heart of one of the complaints one of the families that are the faces of this latest fight, they have children and they are concerned about their children's future if they are not recognized as a same-sex couple and marriage legal. >> correct. and i think also what we think about is the next generation. these lgbt youth who are growing up and going to see that their relationships are just as valuable as anybody else's in our society. so it affects children within a same-sex couple now and the children that they are bringing up, but it also affects the next

generation of kids and then seeing their relationship as valuable as everybody else in america. so it's a really important moment in our time. >> you know, we look at the supreme court and right now our own pete williams says the court probably split with justice kennedy likely the deciding vote. when you look at the ages of the justices, as well as where america has turned the polling, from where we were ten years ago, sarah, to where we are now, one does wonder if these justices take a litmus test of where the country is rather than where a smaller segment of our country perhaps remain right now on this issue. >> culturally there's been a dramatic shift over the past ten years. we've gone up to -- we're north of 60% of people in america for marriage equality. that's astronomical and that's over the 50% mark and we

thought they were going to be just at the 60% mark and we're even over that now, so i think that the country is ready for this to happen and the projections are needed for same-sex couples. >> back to the legal aspect of it, again, the heart of this is whether a voter or voters should decide someone else's rights. >> that's exactly right. and the supreme court looks at this in a series of cases that date back over 60 years, starting with the internment of japanese during world war ii. and it looks at these laws that target a minority group, and there are briefs like the justice department's briefs arguing that people who are identified as gay or lesbian are targeted as a minority group in this country and should be protected based on that status. and when a law unfairly targets a minority group, the court usually applies the strict

scrutiny test, but even if it doesn't and it could apply some sort of intermediate level of scrutiny or a rational basis test, which means the state can support this law, which affects a group of people if it has a logical basis for doing so but what we showed in the proposition 8 case was, there is no evidence supporting any argument that is logical as to why these individual citizens should not be able to marry, should not be able to travel with their family from one state to another and have the benefits that we all enjoy as americans. >> sarah, thank you for joining us, josh thank you, as well. a reminder to our audience the audio of the arguments heard will be released in about an hour from now. and we're just getting in more breaking news to report out of baltimore. tonight's game between the orioles and white sox in baltimore has been postponed. the orioles just tweeted they made the decision after consulting the major league baseball and state and local officials.

this again, happened yesterday with the game. we'll have much more out of baltimore ahead. and developing now in nepal, earthquake survivors are awaiting rescue at mt. everest as the number of deaths now is unimaginable. they believe it's at 5,000 people now. a live report is next. ♪ 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. ♪ the 328 horsepower q50 from infiniti.

which haven't been impacted by the quake, this one propped up precariously by pieces of wood. as many of a quarter of the buildings have been completely destroyed. this was your house. >> i lost my son. 21 years old. >> reporter: rescue workers are still searching for the body of his mother-in-law. they find a clutch of family photos. you have the memories. >> memories. >> reporter: nearby volunteers are providing food to survivors living in the open where they feel safer. they say they've yet to receive any outside help. others who can are leaving town fleeing their crippled homes. >> we are scared. the earthquake come again. >> reporter: small hospital is overwhelmed. 300 injured reached here since the quake and more arriving all the time. >> lost her upper limb and head injury cases. >> reporter: the more desperate

are transferred to bigger hospitals in kathmandu, but that does little to ease the enormous pressure here. tamron there are now rescue teams from 12 countries here in kathmandu, including, of course the u.s. but their efforts have been hampered by heavy rain today and forecasts of more to come which, of course has made life even more miserable for the many thousands who are still living outside in makeshift shelters. tamron? >> thank you so much. and we want to go back to our breaking news situation, the other story we've been following out of baltimore. next i'll talk live with a city councilman who stood by the mayor last night at her news conference and says quote, we cannot let this be a repeat of 1968.

keep the peace there. at this hour governor larry hogan is meeting with faith and community leaders. he'll speak to reporters at noon. the governor announced he's temporarily moving his office from annapolis to baltimore and plans to work out of state offices with his staffers. residents are coming out to clean up from the damage from the riots that broke out yesterday that lasted well into the night. one of gray's cousins said the family members will be out today helping clean up the city and today schools are closed and several metro subway stations have been temporarily shut down. a citywide curfew goes into effect at 10:00 eastern tonight until 5:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. with me on the phone is baltimore city councilman brandon scott, he's the vice chair of the council and has been walking the streets surveying the damage. brandon, thank you so much for joining us. >> no problem, thanks for having me. >> words resinated tremendously yesterday with people. you were very frank in your

anger, what you watched play out there. how do you explain to people wondering why there seems to be such limited police presence with all of this blowing up live on television? >> yeah we understand that. i think that it just -- glad the police were there, they were out there, but for us it's a lot deeper than just the police response. it was also right now we're actually out with 300 men marching in east baltimore to talk about the community response, the community responsibility, we know the police have a responsibility, but we also have a responsibility. no one wanted to see what we saw last night, you understand that not making excuses for the kids that did that how the police handled the situation, but it's easy to blame on these monday morning quarterbacks folks that would have engaged like ferguson early, folks who have been saying how that was the wrong way. now that they de-escalated, we have folks saying they didn't engage, and that was the wrong way. so it's easy to say that but what i'm asking folks to do get

out, get involved and help to rebuild and repair these communities. people have to be involved moving forward. that's the call we expect people to make get involved people that get involved that is the key. that's what we have to do. >> when you say get involved give me some specifics on a program right now that you'd like to -- >> there is multiple opportunities. you can mentor, become a mentor volunteer at school volunteer with a team you can be seen in a neighborhood clean up a neighborhood, whatever you have to do. people in baltimore, especially men, men in the city are not engaged in helping our youth, doing something every single day, they are part of the problem. this is what would happen part of the problem, because we have to it's our responsibility to uplift our children. nobody but ours. >> let's talk about why this started in the first place. mr. gray's death, which is still under investigation, obviously,

we focus on the riots or the protests, but chicken/egg here this all started with the death that still has not been explained. what is the timeline for the city, the mayor, and the investigators to provide the answer that may very well give these young people confidence? >> we know that the investigation, justice department has another investigation and folks have to realize and understand and make the decision but we should not rush her to make a decision. these things take time. they are a process, there was an effort in our state through our city and state, some of our state leaders from baltimore could change some of the rules in baltimore and information is there, but it did not -- we have to think about changing it but the process now is a process. as fast as i want it no but it is what it is and information comes out will be available, but what we have to do is try to be

arguments. tom, what did you hear what is the headline? >> tamron i don't think you could come out of the argument with a good sense of what the justices are going to do in this historic case. there were hard questions from both sides, played out much as we would have expected with the liberal justices favoring the plaintiffs here and saying that there should be likely a right to same-sex marriage for those couples. on the other hand, the court's more concerned with justices asked hard questions about tradition and how it is marriage has always been between a man and a woman. this will in all likelihood, come down as we expected to justice kennedy, who's the center of the court who's actually been a leader in the court on the question of gay rights. and he too, had hard questions for both sides. so the lawyer for the plaintiffs asked justice kennedy, what do we do with the fact this has been the law for millennia, literally, throughout our entire history as a nation that we have always had marriage be between a man and a woman, but

on the other hand, when the lawyer for the state stood up, justice kennedy saying well i do think marriage has been there to provide dignity to these couples and that's something that's denied to same-sex couples uniquely also he said he thought the fact same-sex couples successfully rear adopted children is a point of ways heavily against the state's argument saying we have marriage in order to have the child rearing. he said i don't understand how that could be reconciled with the fact these couples do have their own adopted children. so arguments made for both sides by the lawyers, but also challenges from both sides by the justices. i think it's really going to be unpredictable. >> all right. we'll see what happens. we'll be waiting for the audio to be released of the arguments today. thank you so much for your report and we have breaking news from baltimore. cvs just announced stores in the city will close at 7:00 p.m. tonight. that is just about an hour before sunset. after rioters destroyed a cvs last night.

rev thank you for your time. i know you're on your way to baltimore. at this point, what assistance do you hope to offer there. >> caller: well first of all i want to meet with the civil rights activists and some of the grass roots leadership as well as the parents and i also intend to meet with the mayor today to find out where they are. we have a chapter network that's been involved from the beginning. now, where is the plan going? i talked to the heads of naacp. many of us are talking about convening in an extended meeting thursday in baltimore. whatever happened to restore order today and tomorrow friday when the investigation preliminary report is released it could determine where it is going forward. what's the plan for that?

how do we deal? how do we secure justice and work with attorney murphy and the family to make sure they are not lost in all of the hoopla around the violence? this trip today is basically to talk find out where we are to give benefit all over the country in all cases talked about to share our experiences and work with our chapter there. to not only establish order but real peace. quiet means shut up and suffer. peace means let's have justice and deal with underlining problems of poverty and unjustification at the same time we restore order. nothing can be done with this violence happening in the community. >> you're right. you talked to young people today on these issues.

as was the case ferguson new york with garner and maybe the days in oklahoma. there's belief a lot of investigations are slow walked. yes, there needs to be a thorough investigation. some of the early answers seem to come with drips. this riot is what happens as a result. >> caller: i think that is absolutely right. i understand those frustrations have dealt with them myself in my own growth. what i've said to them is first of all, you're right. the process seems to be tedious and seems to not result in something. then tell me how burning down your own house or burning down the corner store addresses that? i think what they must realize is that you could act wrongly to the right situation or you can be right and handle it wrongly

and make it worse. not only do we have to deal with a slow and sometimes unproductive process, we've got to now deal with the fact there are young people that will be arrested for reckless behavior. and they averted attention and there's been a diversion. you cannot use them as a distraction to issues of justice. they cannot volunteer to become those distractions where they become props for someone's narrative that we must be overpoliced rather than what needs to be agents of change. >> thank you so much for joining us. we greatly appreciate it. we know you'll have later on your show today. that does it for "news nation." i'm tamran hall.
