long time congressman john conyers is citing the death of a baltimore man in his push to end racial profiling. >> that boy broke! maureen: freddie gray died after his spinal cord was severed while in police custody. and happening right now, dozens of people are rallying in baltimore in protest of his death and lack of answers so far. these are live pictures of that protest. gray's death was the late tsarnaev a string of confrontations between police and african-americans. >> ultimately they are tragic examples of the risk of racial profiling and the use of excessive force. maureen: congressman conyers and other democrats support legislation that bans all law enforcement from engaging in racial profiling. a united express flight from chicago to connecticut made an emergency landing after a passenger became seriously ill. the plane landed in buffalo, new york, amid reports its cabin lost pressure. the federal aviation administration says those reports were false. the airline said a passenger lost consciousness and the pilot descended quickly out of an abundance of caution. hundreds packed a man

amy: that is congressmember john conyers after richard using a bill against racial profiling.awrence bell, would you call stopping a man while he is running racial profiling? again, the police union attorney said yesterday in the news conference that if they are running in a high crime area that is cause enough. i was just watching on television, the former police chief of baltimore being interviewed come a and he said, no -- former police chief. he said, no, running is not enough. lawrence bell, your thoughts? >> i think these people need to study the law. it is a concept of probable cause exists. it is absurd to say somebody be simply running after making eye contact with the police officer is probable cause. it makes you wonder where these people are being trained and where they get this mentality. i will tell you something, quite honestly, there is a question of how they perceive black man. the perception of black men in the value of black men is on display right now. -- and the value of black men is on display right now when we see these incidences go one. that is somethi

alison: today, congressman john conyers introduced a bill designed to end racial profiling in the u.s. it comes on the heels of several incidents, of course between white police officers and black suspects including one in baltimore. fraternal order of police in baltimore is holding a news conference right now in the freddie gray case. and paulo sandoval has the latest on the case. reporter: frustration and grief intensify on the streets of baltimore, maryland. protesters joined the family of freddie gray in a march for answers on tuesday. an autopsy shows the 25-year-old man died from a severe spinal injury seven days after he was arrested on weapons charges by baltimore police. they are sparking accusations of police brutality against the six officers involved. they're suspended and off the beat for now. baltimore p.d. maintain gray was taken in "without force or incident." the officers are seen arresting gray handcuffs on he's taken into a waiting police van. >> he did not look like edney physical injuries. what we also know is that very shortly thereafter when he was removed from

>> actually i spoke at a press conference where congressman john conyers has reintroduced the end racialoducing for many many years and has not passed. he reinto deuced it in the spirit of what's happened in the country right now. there's a life and death situation on the streets. people are dying. bodies are being put in the ground. it is becoming a more and more rapid occasion occurrence, and it's something that we want to see end. so the end racial profiling act, we were here to support that as a part of our justice package. >> so racial profiling specifically carmen let me follow up with you on that. when you look at some of these neighborhoods, do you think it's a socioeconomic issue, or is this truly all about race? >> i think it's a combination of both. i certainly believe that it has a lot to do with race. if we look at our prisons, they're overpopulated with black and latinos. if you look at those that are being targeted and profiled by police it's predominantly plaque and latinos. if you look at just the overall numbers, and that's why it's really important for us to support th

conyers and our friend john lewis one of the great heroes of the american civil rights movement have co-sponsored a bill jim sensenbrenner being the former chairman of the judiciary committee, john conyers, being the ranking member have sponsored a bipartisan bill which would return the protections that were undermined by the supreme court decision in the shelby county versus holder case. i believe it's important and i think the gentleman shares this view, that we absolutely protect the rights of every american to register and to vote. and to ensure that the policies adopted by any state or any county or any municipality are not such that it undermines the ability of citizens to register and to vote. this is bipartisan legislation. i would ask the leader respectfully that one of the great tributes to abraham lincoln who talked about a nation divided against itself talked about a nation that did not give equality to all of its citizens, talked about a nation that needed to respect the inclusion of all people irrespective of their race. i would ask respectfully that the legislation co-

we also have a bill with senator john conyers here in the house and that bill protects the small guy while trying to improve the patent office. by the way what his bill does is ensure that all the patent fees that go into the patent office stay there and thus improve the quality of the patents that our people have. over $1 billion has been taken from the patent office in the last 10 years in order to -- and goes into the general fund but it should be being spent trying to protect the -- trying to make the system work of property ownership, intellectual property owner shep by investors. that's the last i have on that piece of legislation, h.r. 9, which deserves the attention of the american people. i'd like to end my time tonight talking about one other issue, very quickly. today, i introduced legislation that will, h.r. 1940 which basically says that the federal government shall not interfere in those states that have eliminated the penalties on marijuana use and sales or have allowed the operation of medical marijuana dispenseries. this legislation h.r. 1940, would basically leave i
