there's a new -- kevin davis has taken over command of the police force. what's your perception from talking to people the last time you were involved? what's your perception of whether people think change is afoot or whether they think they're stuck in the old ways and there's still a lot of discontent? >> well, one of the things that also happened after the charges were filed, you had a slowdown by police, you had a reaction to the charges filed against these six officers in which the police officers at least perceived by the public to essentially put their hands in their pockets and said, okay, if you're going to criticize the way we're policing less baltimore, we'll police it less. you've also had spikes in crime in west baltimore. that's not increased the feeling of cooperation or the feeling that the police and the community are coming together. you have a new police commissioner and a new commander, an african american woman, who when we spoke to her, when she was just about to take that command, was saying that was going to be her top priority, to

in a letter to the department, commissioner kevin davis said in part regardless of the outcome of this trial or any future trial, we refuse to surrender to the low expectations of those who wish to see us fail. we will serve as peacekeepers for those wishing to exercise their right to protest. we will allow the lawful assembly of those gathered to question the government. we will protect homes, businesses, residents, and police officers from harm and mayhem. and there is nothing that will distract us from being considered anything but the very best in the important days ahead of us. the jury has to decide whether officer porter's actions directly led to gray's death. during closing arguments, the prosecution said porter didn't do enough in the police van where gray died. they say porter failed to buckle up gray's seat belt. and didn't call 911 when gray was in distress. but defense said porter told his superiors in the van, excuse me. they accused the prosecution -- >> they accused the prosecution of playing on the fears of the city in the days after gray's death. >>> tonight family, f

( kevin davis/baltimore police commissioner): "folks who choose to commit crimes and hurt people and break things and harm people are no longer protesters.' gray died after being transported in a police van. william porter was the first officer out of six tried. prosecutors argued porter ignored gray's pleas for help. they also said porter did not buckle gray properly into a seat belt and did not follow police policy. porter's defense said the opposite. arguing standard practice was to not use seat belts. the jury considered the charges against porter -- involuntary manslaughter, second-degree assault, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment. but could not reach a decision. ( renaya mkechi/attended the william porter trial): "i almost wanted to cry i was so disappointed." now gray's family will wait for a new trial as protesters in the city of baltimore demand justice.

the new police commission of kevin davis played a much more out front role right now and has been teameding for calm. i think there's a more coordinated response this time and cooler heads are prevailing, which is great to see. >> do you agree? >> yeah, i think that the police commissioner, kevin davis, has made some efforts to reach out to community leaders. i think on the other side of it that this particular trial for william porter is a smaller trial in the sense the bigger trial is waiting. more folks are tenning to say, what about the white officers we saw on the videotape of freddie gray? what's going to be the outcome for this? there's been some discussion, carol, saying this trial is going to set the tone for other trials. that's not my hope and certainly not my expectation, but i think the larger picture that we're seeing is not necessarily the six officers on trial but more so the culture of policing that continues to prevail within the black community and all across the country, not just in baltimore. so the culture policing is on trial. so the culture policing that we saw ex
