where a new report is adding to the uncertainty about what led to freddie gray's death. today's washington post story not confirmed by nbc news. a prisoner in the police van says he heard gray banging against the walls and trying to injure himself. that prisoner could in the see gray because they were separate bid a partition, but jane miller the investigative reporter for our baltimore affiliate reported even before gray's death that there is no evidence to back up that specific claim. she says an autopsy only showed a spinal cord injury for gray and that there would have been additional injuries if he banged his own head. in addition, she says the police commissioner recently stated the prisoner arrival was calm and quiet and gray was unresponsive when the second prisoner was picked up.

in the baltimore the second night of a city wide cur few ended minutes ago. things were calm with police reporting 16 arrests during peaceful protests. 101 people were arrested on monday. they're now free because they were not charged in time because of the paperwork bag log. police also announced they will not release all the findings on their investigation into gray's death to the possible. >> we have an obligation to be accountable to the people of baltimore in this investigation. we know that there are a lot of people who want answers who have concerns they want to have addressed and we have an obligation to do our best to be accountable. we cannot release all of the information to the public because if there is a decision to charge in any event by the state's attorneys office the integrity of the investigation has to be protected. so by turning these documents, our findings over to the state's attorney's office as quickly as

we can, we are being accountable to them so we can be accountable to the public. >> the outrage over the death of freddie gray is spreading into cities across the country. the largest display, new york city. more than 1,000 people hit the streets to show solidarity with protesters in baltimore. this is one of the union square protests. signs read justice for freddie gray. clashes eventually broke out as police with riot helmets and batons tried to break up the ro tests. smaller demonstrations also broke out across the city. come protesters marched in lower manhattan and time's square. nbc news has confirmed people have been arrested. attorney general loretta lynch spoke out publicly for the first time on the week's events in

baltimore before a round table on cyber security she said representatives met with the community leaders as well as one of the police officers still hospitalized. she also spoke about the balance balancing of the the freedom of expression with public safety. >> these are not only a grave danger to the community and they must stop but they are also counterproductive to the ultimate goal which is a respective conversation in the baltimore community and across the nation about the way the police officers interact with the public. >> baltimore mayor is under fire this morning for her choice of words during a press conference she gave on monday night, specifically her use of the words thugs to describe the rioters. >> it is very clear there is a difference between what we saw over the past week with the

peaceful protests those who twoish wish to seek justice and want answers. the difference between those protests and the thugs who only want to have violence and destroy our city. >> after criticism from some residents and questions about whether the term had racial connotations she walked back her comments yesterday. >> i would like to say that i'm a perfect individual. i'll be perfect next year, maybe. i clearly made a mistake. i should not have character rised people's kids as thugs. i'm sure you understand how intense and what a pressure cooker this week has been. and, you know like i said i regret saying it. >> however, she was not the only public figure to call the

rioters thugs this week. >> you've got some of the same organizers now going back into these communities to try to clean up in the aftermath of a hand full of protesters a hand full of criminals and thugs who tore up the place. >> but unlike mayor rawlings blake, the white house is not backtracking. >> no. i don't think the president would in any way revise the remarks he shared with you. whether it's arson or you know the looting of a liquor store, those were thuggish acts. >> speaking in new york yesterday, hillary clinton condemned the riots and went onto deliver the first policy speech calling for broad criminal justice reform. >> those are who are instigating further violence in baltimore are disrespecting the gray family and the entire community. they are compounding the tragedy

of freddie gray's death and setting back the cause of justice, so the violence has to stop. but more broadly, let's remember that everyone in every community benefits when there is respect for the law and when everyone in every community is respected by the law. there is something profoundly wrong when african american men are still far more likely to be stopped and searched by police charged with crimes and sentenced to longer prison terms than are meted out to their white counter parts. it's time to change our approach. it's time to end the era of mass incarceration. we need a true national debate about how to reduce our prison population while keeping our communities safe.

>> also in yesterday's speech hillary clinton praised kentucky senator rand paul for working across the aisle on criminal justice reform but the feeling from her presidential kand dad was not mutual. paul's campaign blasted her citing a report saying it grew more under her president's office. not only the hillary clinton trying to undo some of the harm inflicted by the clinton administration, she is now copying proposals introduced by paul and we welcome her to the fight. this following a new forward from clinton on thursday saying his crime policies overshot the mark and our nation has too many people in prison for the too long. bloomberg cites and anonymous source and reports
