community, this community has made it very, very clear the standard that they want. so, what we focus on is going out day in and day out and serving this community in a constitutional way and to be that professional organization that stands tall. i can't hear you. >> the police union has -- >> thank you very much, sir. >> we'll keep everyone whereupon dated on our next press briefing. >> that is the baltimore police chief addressing the press just moments ago, urging everybody to keep in mind why they're there. so the department will not lose sight of what brought us here, the families of freddie gray, of six officers who are now facing charges in freddie gray's death and saying that the truth will

come out and overcome. also reminding the press and the public that this is not an indictment on all the police officers, that there are good officers out wthere who take tie to serve the community, hug children. as far as the criminal case of these six officers charged, he said it is a process he could not speak or comment on this criminal case. i want to bring in richard lui, who has been in baltimore all day and has seen the rallies and the victory rally as it was called move and marches and it seems like people there on the street, as again, law enforcement upheld this curfew to be put in place. 9:00 p.m. for juvenile, 10:00 p.m. for the rest of the community. >> after speaking the both the mayor and the governor and he spoke very quickly, just about 45 minutes ago when you and i were talking, then walked away from the cameras and came back on and hit those notes you just

talked about. perhaps because of some other con v conversations, clearly reaching out to the tenor of what we are seeing on this saturday evening. now, we don't want to overemphasize the importance of what's going to happen tonight, but we are going to look at what was today. saturday morning, saturday afternoon, clearly, a shift in the mood. whether that's going to translate to tonight as we stand here in front of the cvs. very key pictures that we saw from a week ago. and then it led to marches and rallies throughout the last four days when they did have the curfew on. today will be the fifth night and you know, folks are saying as the police commissioner was alluding to, tonight, there are a couple of reasons why folks might want to let their hair down. there's the mayweather pacquiao fight and the kentucky derby, which has just finished.

here on the corner, pennsylvania north, right in front of me is where that cvs is that was looted and burned and where the mayor was today. she did not mention the curfew here on this very key corner of pennsylvania and north. but we hear the music just off the my left. and there seems to be a group gathering over there. as you can see here, there's a sparse number of cars here on this corner and we expect there would be some music and some get together in the coming hours. at least that's what we're told and then the curfew comes into place, so the real question here is as has been said, come 9:00, will the minors go home. will their parents come out and bring them home. two, at 10:00, will there be those out here that are going to be testing the curfew. because last night as we know and watched there in the square in front of city hall, there were those that did cause some

flash points and o, this is key night. saturday night here as we finish off this week and move into sunday tomorrow and then monday folks wanting to get back to work, but as you were just showing the tape, the police commissioner saying we have to be careful. >> it seems like demonstrators and people out there in the community are really antsy to get their community back. either they've had this curfew in place, this will be the fifth night. businesses have been hurting. we understand when it came to the reason why the commissioner said for everybody's safety, it really is in the best interest to have this curfew, at least tonight as well. but i get the sense that there is that antsyness there. people really wanting to go out. money's being lost from these businesses as well. >> it's that tension, isn't it. you want to get back to normalcy, but for many, normalcy is is not good. what they want to do is get away

from the conflict, get away from the stress and move into a space where they can try to bring something new to baltimore. what is that new? is it new council members? is it a new mayor at some point is this is it new leadership in the police department? new xhunlt leaders? that's what some will be saying and we've seen some briefs, squirm i squirmishes and scuffles here at curfew times this week on this kosher. in this very space. that's why tonight on a saturday, it is so important that we watch and see what happens and right now, it seems very calm. just as we saw in the rally in the square, very calm, people listening to the speak ers when they spoke and then chanting and joining in when the, those who are speaking did bring to the group things like no justice no peace. but outside really here francis, the day earlier was very organized there at the square and i think for those who want that the to continue, they'll be watching this corner of pennsylvania and north.

right next to that cvs right next to me. >> and as we've seen all day from that rally, the mood certainly upbeat and even that of celebration, so we'll see if that continues into the night as that curfew is upheld for 9:00. (music)
