we are a peaceful city. >> elijah cummings has been walking around.en circulating, it's been a little over 20 minutes he's been walking around going to various young men and urging them, go home disperse. the crowd is getting smaller now. there were actually a few of the young men themselves who were chanting go home and urging people to get out of this square and go home. and so it's thinning out a little bit, but as you can see, there are still some persistent people and they are still here and clearly they are not abiding by the curfew. >> and when you're hearing those arguments and young people are arguinging back, what is the case they're making? >> people essentially are taking issue with the idea they can't be in these streets. this is a residential area where they live and there is some defiance. i think some of it is young men, guys who were part of that protest that started earlier this evening. it went on for quite a while. it built up pretty loud. they essentially decided that they were not going to abide by the curfew. there were skirmish

and here comes elijah comings again. it is what you see. he's walking right now. >> chris cuomo is out in the crowd where they're trying to get the folks to disperse and when you get him, get back to us. we're going to cnn's ryan young. ryan i want to bring you in because we have comings -- let's go back to chris. >> reporter: congressman, do you feel happy with what's happening? >> we're trying to get people to get home. my number one priority is getting people to go home. >> reporter: do you feel you've done a good job? >> i think we've done a great job. all this is media. you're taking pictures of each other. >> reporter: congressman is right. the media is doing exactly that and the police haven't had anything to do with that and in truth, elijah and the community leaders have done it and has not required any police action tonight. >> we're good chris. you're breaking up a little bit. i do want to get over to ryan. as you saw last night, last night it was much more tense because people didn't know exactly what was going to happen. it app

elijah cummings was yelling, no violence, no violence. and it was in the middle of the intersection. and the police were restrained throughout this. they didn't really respond to it until the service seems to dissipate almost on its own. folks in the scuffle, ended, pulling out the most angry. and at that point, the police on one end of north made a wall and on the other end of north, they made a sort of long line. but they just stayed there and after a few minutes, they ended that line. they're still in a sort of final line on one side. but, again, they saw a skirmish beginning and they did not respond. elijah cummings is here. with the bull horn. there are people here telling people, go home. and there's people here who are sort of standing around. there's a lot of media out here, as well, lawrence. >> toure, how does the police presence compare to last night at that location? >> it's a -- i think there's a less intense police presence at this moment. last night, along north here, on this side of north, if we can pan over to this side,

and now you have elijah cummings. he came, people are listening to him.authorities came over to brief him on what the possibilities are. so he was able to give people good information. but you now have about 300 people here who aren't sure whether they want to leave or not. the interesting part of the dynamic is, the police aren't sure about what they're going to do or not. there's no phalanx lined up. they haven't made their decisions yet. the point from command was, we're going to see what the crowd does. the crowd wants to see what the police does. and that's a little bit of the confusion. elijah cummings just took to the bull horn and said here's what you need to do, you need to take a step towards your home because that's the law tonight. we don't know what's going to happen. but there is not the aggression. >> chris, i've got to interrupt you. sorry. alexandra field in new york, what's going on? >> reporter: anderson, this is a scrum right in the middle of eighth avenue on 51st street, a confrontation between officers and demonstrators. hundreds of

elijah cummings was out there.any leaders here trying to keep the chaos to a bear minimum. >> yeah. and it's painful when you're hearing things like that. you know, when i was out here yesterday, i heard one person say, you know, perhaps if there was more engagement between some of those people here in the community who felt disenfranchised, we wouldn't have gotten to where we are in this community today. not just in this community, but in other communities across the country. but today, at least, for baltimore it was a peaceful day been we saw thousands marching through downtown, they started at johns hopkins university and marched over to penn and then to city hall, then back over to penn station. a very diverse multicultural crowd, young people, old people, parents there with their children. there was one message there that was the message of peace. this is the intersection that is peaceful now here at pennsylvania and north. and you know this intersection well. this was the scene of so much unrest. this is what

but, you know, elijah cummings calling for peace. police there want parents because so many of the people youngsters to make sure they know where their children are and to get their children home so the plea has gone out to parents now. >> i'm wondering how because these things feed on themselves as people are -- young people or whoever is coming home and seeing that this is going on if people are joining this because it's now a scene, a happening, if you will. >> all over the news. >> all over the news and if -- instead of them dispersing and wearing themselves out if they're not getting new blood coming as people hearing about this and the roads and the traffic around this area for people who live in the area and have been working in the baltimore area it's almost impossible to get out of there and some of these major roads so if you are wanting to call your child, you don't know if your child is home. i don't know that you're home. so there's a lot of sort of a cascading problem going on here in baltimore. again, tonight, we have

congressman elijah cummings was out there. he was talking to the crowd. a lot of the men, the 300 men were out talking to the crowd making sure that they were quiet. the mayor was at different places throughout the city today making sure she was seeing and having a number of different meetings with community people. just a background after the events today, we've had one or two arrests for looting in the central district, we've had one arrest for disorderly conduct in the eastern district. also we had one officer had a drive-by brandishing of a weapon in the eastern district within the last 30 minutes and the western district, where that's north of pennsylvania in that area we've had approximately seven arrests. in totality in the city after the curfew went up we've had about ten total arrests, i get reports from the organization that we do not have a lot of activity or movement throughout the city as a whole so the curfew is, in fact, working as the mayor had called. one of the interesting things i happened by and without answering questions is i exited

and i think elijah cummings said this. he represents the area where this is occurring. that it's a lot of injustice, but we're going to deal with that. we're going to get the facts and there's going to be consequences and there's going to be a system that follows. but we also have to change things. we cannot continue to go on with the way things are. because we will have these situations over and over again. but when you threaten your police officers, when you threaten your military and what i mean by that on an international basis with what al qaeda is doing that type of thing. i mean you have to stand up. you have to have justice. otherwise you allow these bad people who just want to incite and will take juveniles and try to have them incite, then no one is safe especially innocent people who live in these neighborhoods and love baltimore and they want to be able to walk down the street. a business owner doesn't want to worry about his store being looted and everything that he's paid for is gone. that's why you have to get a community group, and i think the mayor has
