for most, to be born in baltimore is to always want to be part of baltimore. but many like me left for opportunity elsewhere. >> great neighborhood. >> reporter: the same is true for the acting dea. a baltimore son just like me escaped to make a difference. we attended the same high school archbishop curly, ten years apart. your fondness for this neighborhood? >> i don't know if i can say it. my first girlfriend, the utility pole there, i kissed her in 1983. >> reporter: what are some things that make you sad? >> i think the senselessness. we failed somewhere. >> reporter: law enforcement and lay people, there are many shareholders in baltimore's future. >> this is a three-story house. >> reporter: we met shay last year. he just bought a vacant house in baltimore. >> i probably took a good five gallon bucket of vials out of this house. today he feels like he's home. i don't see any bars on the window. >> yeah. >> reporter: on the door. >> yeah. >> reporter: is that on back order? >> i figure my neighbors will of what out for me. >> reporter: despite the nation

based on what you've seen played out in baltimore? >> i think you would find the general problem of smuggling of contraband into jails and prisons is a nationwide problem. if we're really about preventing violence, preventing crimes in the streets we need to focus on what happens while inmates are behind bars. >> since the baltimore corruption scandal the jail has undergone a massive overall. dozens of officers were either fired, retired or quit. >> have you used this camera system to intercept contraband. >> this cameras had a been used for everything. staff performance, contraband. >> the jail has invested millions in new technology better cameras to track inmates and officers, plus a system in a blocks outgoing cell phone calls. >> what is the impact of shutting down the cell phone communication. >> folks who were incarcerated would use cell phones to intimidate witnesses or order hits. supply contraband, intimidate staff. cellphones is a way to continue the criminal enterprise . >> since the indictments maryland investigates other

i blame the political leadership in baltimore. they have done nothing than sit on their butts until now getting millions of bucks in money to fix this problem. >> putting band-aids on the problem has not helped. i have got to tell you there is a new sheriff in town. when you are bringing in the federal agents here to actually assist. some of these bad guys now will go off the street. you have somebody like bill mcmull will run of the atf who has a wealth of experience that he brings so this dogfight bad guys look out. the feds are here. >> i'm all for helping other communities, when you send the atf in there. they are not going some place else. the rest of federal taxpayers are paying because baltimore leadership can't run their own city and they have already gotten federal funds to try to fix these problems. they haven't done anything. so now the american taxpayer is paying twice. and the atf is not doing something elsewhere we might use other help. >> that's a really good point because it's actually ten federal agents. two from

he started this in baltimore.s asked for law enforcement officers to engage in more dialogue, they've asked for the creation of no goal zones where they don't want the police. they asked for deemphasis on making arrests, making cases to put the longtime career criminals away, and this is what you get. look, they don't know what they're doing in baltimore, this starts at the top with mayor rawlings-blake. calling in 10 federal officers from disparate agencies is going to have the effect of throwing a rock in the ocean and thinking you're going to create a tidal wave. here's what works in cities, lou. broken windows policing works. stop questioning and frisk assertive policing works. more police officers for urban policing. the feds are not designed for urban policing, and so it's kind of a mismatch. this is all great theater, it sounds good and mistakes activity for accomplishment. lou: i think, sheriff, that you said that as well as it could be said. the real issue here is why in the world is not the mayor, the po

in late march 2000, bennett arrived in baltimore from denver. the signal to act. in the meantime, he scoped out his victim, breaking into heidi's home by tampering with the locks, then posing as that neighborhood watch volunteer who so scared heidi. >> i do remember her answering the door. >> reporter: did you go to the door to talk to her more than once? >> it was just that one time. >> just the one time? >> reporter: on april 20th, bennett says he heard through lewis that the plan was a go. after getting into heidi's house he hid behind the front door. >> now my plan was to just try to get her, and like, still make it look like an accident like, may be snap her neck or something to make it look like she fell down the stairs or something. >> reporter: heidi walked in through the door, and bennett says he pounced. >> when she came in, she saw me, panicked, i panicked and rushed at her at the front and, you know, tried to muffle her scream. i was making sure if she was alive. i didn't know. that's when i had the knife. and to make sure, had cut h

according to the baltimore "sun," 36%. baltimore is by no means unique.ootings and homicide are up by double digits in many big cities. among them, new york, washington, d.c., chicago, and new orleans. today several big city police chiefs are comparing notes in a conference in washington where a problem called bfed is likely to come up. that's a new collaboration between a variety of federal agencies and baltimore police. >> we expect to enjoy successes with bfed. we know federal law enforcement partners bring tools to bear that we necessarily don't enjoy. federal assets and other federal investigative techniques we think will help us close more homicide cases. >> i'm joined by boris johnson and cedric alexander. good to see both of you. i should note two more people were killed in baltimore in the first two days of august now and we're also understanding that this bfed actually entails a lot. help explain. >> it does, fred, you mentioned two people killed in august. that doesn't account 11 others that were shot in total. the numbers eye-popping. b fed is

one dead in two hours of a weekend violence in baltimore.ou are going to spend time with a commissioner by the way i also agree with you and ms. mosby. if there are pending cases, i don't think she should be going before any commission talking about pend cases. it just makes my head to want to explode to think that a bunch of academics at john hopkins wants to tell us why there is crime in the inner city and get paid for it that's beyond me do. they really not know? and i know milwaukee claims its successful and i know they stand by it but, i mean, really? why don't they take the results from milwaukee why don't they summary. go ahead, indicatey. >> here's the thing. the $200,000 is a part of a 2.2-million-dollar initiative that the city of baltimore has already implemented. so this is already money already earmarked and already spent. not just academics, it's community leaders. it's this adidea of this collaboration with the community to cut off the flow of violence and the flow of crime. so really, i think she has a problem with her predec

. >> downtown baltimore. with one of the highest arrest rates in the country, it's a great place to be a bail bondsman. across the street from the court, james daniels and his family have stopped in to make a payment. a few months ago, james was charged with theft, and his bail was set at three thousand five hundred dollars. >> they give bails sometimes too high for some of the littlest things. but i guess it's to teach you a lesson. >> he didn't have the money for the $350 fee, but this bondsman agreed to accept payment in installments. >> have a nice day. >> alright man. thanks for workinwith me >> take care of them babies. >> oh yeah, i'm trying to. >> bail bonds! >> so you're eight minutes away. just bring him into the office. >> another bondsman, dennis sew, just got a call that two bounty hunters he hired are on their way - they've captured one of his "skips." >> on about september 9th, 2013, we bail out tony deshawn mccoy from the baltimore county detention center. >> how much was his bail? >> $50,000

jason pugh is live in baltimore with highlights. hey, jason. >> hey. the redskins looked pretty good, especially in that second quarter moving on against the ravens tonight. they win their third preseason game of the preseason. they called this the dress rehearsal. kirk cousins got the start in place of robert griffin iii and got the first team offense into the end zone. let's look at how this one went down tonight. jay gruden wishing his quarterback the best of luck. kirk cousins got the start in place of griffin. early on, he threw an interception in the game. he got comfortable and settled down. second quarter, down 13-0. that one deflects off the hands of andre roberts and into the hands of the rookie, jameis crowder. his first nfl touchdown, 22-yard strike and got the redskins first team offense, finally on the board this preseason. later in the half, cousins with the short pass to ryan grant. he spins away from a tackle, dives and just short of the end zone, chris thompson would punch this ball into the end zone. gave the redskins the lead in the

i'm from west baltimore maryland. being black in americas means living in a world designed to make you believe your life has no value. i never believed that. i was taught the truth. i thu that my people -- knew that my people loved this country. i became obsessed with comparing systems with brazil. so coming here, i took it. being outdoors is to be connected to africa. whether it's the food you eat, the music you play. those things come directly from your culture, from west africa. brazil is home to the second largest group of african descendants in the world. 90% of the population in salvador is black. the celebration of african culture is everywhere here, it's important to salvador. i'm able to be myself in salvador. the level of freedom i have here is huge. i developed an ease in my skin living here. here everyone is like me. in salvador, i see black faces of different shades. i feel a sense of amazement because we weren't supposed to survive, basically. people who - people who were slaves, every country treated us

is often referred to as the ore baltimore.not on the tourist maps. >> black lives still matter! >> people here feel left out. >> excuse my french. f the leaders. the leaders is us right here! >> they don't like baltimore police here -- >> they look at us -- >> they say they have good reason. even before freddie gray died in police custody. >> they designated the area a high crime area. you know what happens? they're now able to stop anybody for any reason they sho choose. >> this is not something that's solved in any one day. more drug treatment, intervening in the lives of young kids, doing a better job of policing our own police. >> i kid you not, if you have not been to west baltimore, you do not know that part of west baltimore. go back and watch the wire to get a better sense of what's going on there, and i was there covering it. i'm going to michael wood again who is a former baltimore city police officer. what is zero tolerance? i understand that's what police in baltimore were operating under. there's community policin

no one talked about america work successes in baltimore. they were not part of the conversation when this -- the only thing was how evil were the police? moderately evil or very evil. that was the entire discussion. and that's a good discussion to have if you want to keep the industry in place. don't ask any fundamental questions. >> the way i look at this, your observation which is an astute observation, the miracle works people had the same results in america. they're getting people to self-sufficiency, getting out of poverty. that should matter. do they succeed? and if they do, they should continue. if they don't, then they shouldn't. and so to me, instead of taking a full frontal assault on the status quo, by making it us against them, republicans and democrats or liberals or conservatives and having some big political stalemate, i would argue that it is smarter and better to say, well, why don't we just go with what works? let's agree before hand that -- from now on, we're going to measure success not based on effort, but on results. a

baltimore looks like us feeding ourselves. one in four black people in baltimore live in the food d desert. until we in the midst of the uprising said, you know what, we need to start doing some of this stuff on our own because we can't wait for the benevolence of others no matter how well intentioned they are to come and save us in the midst of our trauma. and so we started feeding ourselves and creating a food system. and the midst of all that was going on that connected churches with farmers with colleges and universities. and i personally was driving -- alicia was on my church bus. i personally was driving food around the city along with our partners and our colleagues and feeding ourselves. and at the pennsylvania and north avenue -- i'm going to pass like the mic and i feel i need to shut down in a minute. i feel my third point in my hoop coming. say very quickly i'll just say what we saw was we started to create the systems that we needed. and so near the pennsylvania north avenue watching on cnn and whatever else, the

they started last night in baltimore.urel and they're making their way all the way down to d.c. i'm here with one of the organizers. tell me why you guys are marching. >> we're trying to raise awareness to the resources that are needed to really decrease the murder rate that's happening in baltimore. that's one step but also a step higher, we really want to show the rest of the country what it looks like when men step up and get engaged in the communities, working with these young boys. the reason why we say boys, we're focusing on them because that's the majority of the gun victim -- the victims as well as the perpetrators. so this is the model. this is what we have to do. this is what we're showing the rest of the country. we've got to get out and be physically engaged and grab these young people. we have to stop this culture of destruction and violence that is gripping a lot of our young people. baltimore city, at least half of the homicide victims are between the ages of 15 and 29. so these are young people that are d

i have the former mayor of baltimore, for -- former mayor of baltimore, former governor of maryland,nd i am a democrat. i'm running for the presence of the united states. mayor morreale and i will always share a certain bond of having served as mayor's together of two of america's oldest and greatest cities. the revolutionary cities of new orleans and baltimore. mayor morreale and i have discussed many issues over the years. some people are called to work. how to rebuild our cities. baltimore is now growing rather than shrinking. how to improve our schools. in the middle of the recession we invested more to make our schools number one and to make colleges more affordable. how to create jobs and opportunities for all. in our state, we have the highest percentage of african-american owned businesses in the second-highest median income for african-americans of any state in the country. the topics i would like to speak with you about today. how can we save lives? how can we improve and reform our criminal justice system? how, together, can we make real the process of equal protection und

it is horrible in baltimore.ommissioner says they are going to deal with it. >> we are putting analysts and detectives and prosecutors in a room together to sort out the puzzle pieces of some of these cases in baltimore, these violent strands where the same people over and over and over again are involved in violent crimes. >> now, two individuals works agents from each of the following agencies, fbi, dea, after the accident atf, the secret service and the u.s. marshals, all lendsing a hand, basically looking for ways to charge people that are already on the radar in baltimore so that they can get more and more criminals off the street. >> will this actually help control this violence, get it under control? >> reporter: it's going to take a lot more. look, arrests are still not up to where they were last year. i checked those today. last july 2014, arrests were about almost 4,000 arrests per month by baltimore police. they have rebounded a little bit since may. still, just under 2,000 arrests by baltimore police.

baltimore, they were embarrassed by philadelphia tonight. ravens in a bird battle visiting chip kelly in philadelphia. joe flacco was out there for baltimore, probably glad this preseason game does not count. first quarter, flacco stepping up, trying to go for it all here. deep pass hits off nolan carroll. walter comes down with the interception. just a nice catch right there, eagles made them pay right there too. ryan matthews. plenty of room there, 14 yard touchdown. philadelphia's up 7-0. flacco looking for redemption, instead, overthrows his receiver, byron maxwell, former sea hawk returns it 31 yards. disappointing night for flacco. 33 yards passing and two interceptions, once again, philly cashes in. demarco murray from two yards out. eagles go on toeat the ravens 40-17. d.c. united hosting san jose, not playing, shaking hands and kissing babies tonight. fourth minute, here come the earthquakes. ball to chris, he's going to put it home. the earthquakes score in minutes. they take a 1-0 lead second half. earthquakes on the attack again,

most people here were for the people in baltimore. there was a lot of congratulations, we're you, we feel we know exactly what's going on. that was great in the effect that michael brown is on the wall here is so surreal, i wasn't here for the riots but i see the black people honor the black struggle in the state. the fact that i was here in brazil during the incident and to be watching, you know, somebody commemorated here is really cool. and to know that initially i thought a lot of people didn't know but people walking past like well, i know him from the tv. really nice like it's a good memorial and all that stuff. it's not nice that ferguson and baltimore are known in salvador, at the place where they were killed. still very sad. today i'm getting a tattoo, of a quote, which is a portuguese translation of some of us are brave. i felt like that's summed up my experience here. in terms of what it means to be black and to be female, that's what i really learned here in salvador. is how to be a black woman. my whole journey here has b

baltimore gives us another story. baltimore sop has >> another story. what we want because we have over criminalization or what does that mean? we have sandra bland, where no matter what happens, the police can justify detaining you for a time. what that enables you to do is not necessarily look for the crime but look for your chosen suspect. everyone is criminal when you have laws that make everyone do things that are illegal. we have a false ideology that is who the people are who commit crimes. those are the people who do commit crimes in our records, because that is what we are looking at. we create this cycle where we are arresting people because we arrested them previously. bruce: most of the crime is committed by the young african-americans, how would you respond to that? >> it is mostly committed by them when we look at them. for instance when we go out, we , know all the races carry drugs, if you were to stop anybody to look for drugs, you would prima find drugs at the same rate. but we find we arrest more black males in the city for that, or p

tonight one of the veterans in baltimore county firefighter. the crash happened around 4:30 this morning. and in the 1100 block of laurel road. the 23-year-old of laurel was rounding the curb of the northbound lane when he crossed that center line, striking another motorcycle driven by the 63-year-old of bowie. both men died at the scene. who was returning home from work when that crash happened. >> for a law enforcement family, our hearts go out to the lieutenant who was coming home after the shift as our hearts will go out to the baltimore county fire department. as well as his family. >> he has served with the baltimore county fire department for nearly 29 years. >>> but how did they do it? three men heros that will be sharing their stories of stopping a terrorist on the train. >>> and also ahead a local search for the man wanted for firing his gun at the girlfriend and then barricading himself inside >>> three men friends who spoke about friday's attack and about the quick actions that made them heros. they held the press conference today f

(whispers) three thousand! we still have the original structure. she uses it as a yoga

last month, baltimore had 45 people murdered.ating after the fact isn't going to help. even if they stop the crimes, they're going to go to baltimore jail which is run by the family. what they need to do is embed with the fbi, create task forces under the federal government, treat gangs like black guerrilla family the same as mafia families using the federal authority to conduct wiretapping and prosecute in federal court and put them in federal prisons. i think having ten agents help cops is next to nothing as far as i can see. >> just to go back to what you said about who's running the jail system there in baltimore, where does that come from? >> it comes from a very detailed article and study done by jeffrey to been as a matter of fact that the black guerrilla family essentially is in charge of that jail. one powerful inmate actually got four separate female prison guards pregnant while in that jail. so the drugs, everything else going through that jail make it almost impossible to stop anything if you're going to put people in
