there was a lynch mob. there is a body. ere was a death without a trial, without a jury, without a sentence. there was an execution. that is lynching. so for anybody to say that people that exercise their first amendment rights to protest, to demand justice, to demand an investigation is a lynch mob, it is 1984. it is doublespeak. they are blaming the victims blaming people that suffered the lynching for protesting about the lynching, about their behavior. and i think -- i mean, they do not serve and protect the citizens of the community, the people that pay them, when they kill those citizens and then in turn, accuse those citizens of acting out of order and arresting the citizens for protesting the violence that they inflict upon the citizens. that is absurd. amy: there's a big difference in the way north charleston, south carolina dealt with the killing of walter scott and what is happening today. a police officer was arrested. the mayor and the police chief went to see the family of the scots to give their condolences. i

i don't want it to turn into a lynch mob. because when you're trying to put somebody in jail before all the facts are in and the investigation hasn't been completed, that's wrong. >> yes, trying to put someone in jail before the facts are in is something police hate. the police said their internal investigation will be completed by may 1st and they're focused on what happened during the 30-minute ride in a prisoner transport van as the source of gray's injuries. in a statement today, authorities said they would not be releasing the name of the other prisoner who was in that van with gray, because the second person who was inside the prisoner transport wagon with mr. freddie gray is a witness in a criminal investigation. his name will not be released to protect the integrity of the investigation. meanwhile, a lawyer for the suspended police officers confirm that five of the six officers have given statements to investigators. >> i can tell you that on april 12th, the day this incident occurred, five of the six officers volunta

a baltimore police union compared the protesters with a lynch mob. the union president said he should have said it he did not want it to turn into a lynch mob. nearly a week after an arlington mother was stabbed to death, there are still no arrests. bonnie black's children were plain outside of her home when the gruesome crime was discovered. tonight, hundreds of neighbors are expressing concern is the police are telling the community to remain calm. richard reeve has the latest from arlington. richard? richard: we are at the victim's house, and right outside they have a couple of arlington county police cars. the police are telling a group of residents we cannot tell you specifics about the investigation. we know there is a lot of anxiety, but still many people have questions. five days after the police came to the south arlington home and found 42-year-old bonnie black stabbed to death -- >> we are very sorry for your loss. richard: an urgent, at times emotional meeting. >> there was a woman found dead, her kids in the street. richard: people voice

i don't want it to turn into a lynch mob because when you're trying to put somebody in jail before alland the investigation hasn't been completed, that's wrong. it's an ongoing investigation, that's why a lot of information isn't coming out because it would jeopardize the integrity of the investigation. so our procedures and policies we don't give out information until everything is complete. maybe i need to reword that because i wasn't trying to -- i'm not sighing they did anything wrong. i complimented them. i just don't want it to turn into something ugly. that was my intention. >> are you nervous by saying that, the officers standing behind the barriers might be in r danger -- do you worry that it might incite anger in the crowd -- >> i'm afraid the crowd becoming hostile, number one. that's what i was trying to point out. >> why are you afraid -- >> a demographic that's 68% african-american in baltimore and that's not really going to sit well with a lot of the people out there. you understand that connotation? >> that was never my -- >> i understand it's not. but you understand th

ryan the president of the fraternal order of police released he referred to the protesters as a lynch mob, an unfortunate choice of words given the history in this country of lynching african-americans. when he was asked about that the use of that particular term, he responded this way. >> they've already tried and convicted the officers. and that's just unfair. they still get their day in court. they did not give up their constitutional rights when they became a law enforcement officer. that's what i was getting at today. some of the protesters and some of the stuff i've been watching on the news, they want him put in prison. they haven't been charged. >> reporter: later on when repeatedly pressed on the use of that particular term wolf he did back down and said perhaps he should have used a different term. but he also made one other point, wolf. he said that he wants the investigative process to play itself out. he wants everyone here in the community to wait for the results of that investigation. wolf? >> jason, we'll get back to you. stand by. i want to dig deeper with our law enforce

lynch mob conjures an image of a crowd. >> exactly.stand it might have been a poor choice of words. >> but it seemed very careful. >> but if you sat and watched you knew exactly what he meant. you knew he only meant a couple people. >> i didn't walk away with that at all. >> remember when he said that he applauded the crowd for being nonviolent. he asked that question specifically do you think it's a lynch mob. all right. that question was set up for him to answer a quick, yes. so they can be able to use this against him. >> do you see his point, mark? >> i do see his point. but i think careful language has to be used. >> agreed. >> even if you're goaded. >> and we have a responsibility to use fair language because the fact is as you said you know there is emotion on the part of the protesters. there are angry, frustrated people in the community but at the same time the police are the professionals. they need to choose their tone and their words carefully. >> and i think that people should listen to their mayor. she is fantastic. she's

but reacting to hearing the words lynch mob, react to that for me.f words, but also the fact a lot of folks here are demanding charges for these police officers when we don't know all the facts just yet. >> right. i think citizens here have righteous indignation. and i think they have righteous indignation because this commissioner has had culpability in not firing officers in the past for similar types of actions. so people are passionate. three years ago anthony anderson was killed by the baltimore city police department. his case was determined to be a homicide by the maryland medical examiner's office but there were no charges brought before the officers. they were allowed to keep their jobs. we contend they had a paid vacation at the taxpayers' expense. two years ago tyrone west was killed by the same police department. he was drug out of his car, beaten and tased to death by the baltimore city police department. no charges, no indictments. they were allowed to keep their jobs. >> we talked earlier this week. you named these different cases. we

doing things that are purely symbolic that it's very hard to stand up to lynch mobs. >> once again theson all this is happening is the lack of push back by american religious leaders. it is very rare to see any high ranking catholic cleric defending the faithful publicly. protestants are a little bit better but organized efforts to defend the christian faith are rare. therefore the antireligion people have a free fire zone to attack at will. and that's the memo. now for the top story tonight reaction. with us here in new york city syndicated columnist ann coulter. you wrote a column today that says what? >> that says the media is subjecting us to a whole series of fake stories and we have a different hate campaign each week from hands up, don't shoot, fraternity rape at uva, going back to the duke lacrosse fake rape. hysteria over nuclear power and this week's hate is just happens to be on the christians. now, that is a longer trend as i described in my book "godless" it's christianity the left hates most of all. it's the foundation of our country. all of our freedoms come from that fr

coalition on crime in america, which was extensively about bank robbers, it should have also been about lynch mobs not. they pointed out in our contemporary moment that black lives matter and students stood there with nooses around the next to indicate this. there is no question of the failures of the lynching era where the failures to take systematic account that jim crow america legitimated the kinds of actions that we saw time and time again. amy: i wanted to ask you not only about the shooter in the case of michael slager in south carolina or bert bat, o 3 ars "the daily beast" has an adjusting piece on him. he was -- a sheriff defended him , and longtime friend who served as his insurance agent and one-time election campaign chair. they also showed cell phone photos of him fishing with bates, a millionaire insurance executive. he said we both love to fish, is it wrong to have a friend? former officers said this was a pay to play policeman, donating thousands of dollars of vehicles and equipment to the force. when he shot and killed eric harris, he said "i shot him, i am sorry." after that, th

also asked for an apology from the fraternal order of police for likening the demonstrators to a lynch mob. so later today, we're expecting to hear from a group that is calling on the governor of the state of maryland to use his own executive powers to try to change some of the issues that have arisen in the freddie gray investigation. one of the big issues i think that people have talked about here is the law enforcement officers bill of rights in the state of maryland which gives officers some protections in the event of an investigation. it has been seen by the officers as something they like, however, some city officials in maryland have been very concerned that they haven't been able to discipline certain officers and ask them questions when they want to. so that's a continuing concern in this state, randi. >> yeah. certainly a lot of frustration there as well. thank you very much, joe johns, in baltimore, for us. next hour, we expect to have a live news conference from the mayor of baltimore, stephanie rawlings-blake and bring that to you live when it happens on cnn. >>> developments

calling for an apology from the fraternal order of police for likening some of the demonstrators to a lynch mob. we do know that at least one of the prominent ministers in this city, the pastor of the empowerment temple church is expected to meet today with the mayor as the city looks ahead to the demonstrations on the weekend as well as the funeral on monday of freddie gray. we also know that an alliance group of activists is expected to call for the governor of the state of maryland to institute changes through executive action after problems and issues have arisen from the death of freddie gray. now one of the problems that people have been talking about most in this city right now is the issue of seat belts on the transport vans. it appears at least from a quote that was made by the police commissioner that freddie gray was not strapped in in the transport van. there has been concerns to another case dating back to 2005 in which an individual was severely injured, a spinal injury leading to death resulting in a huge lawsuit. sounds strikingly similar to what could have occurred in this case

someone who didn't see it in the next cell over in his wagon -- amy: or refer to the protesters as a lynch mob. >> that was -- amy: the attorney for the fraternal order of police. >> i was in newark as a community organizer in 1967. this can go back to the 1940's or the 1920's, but in 1967, it was alleged there was a sniper -- they never found the sniper. 26 people died, two were qui white, due to ricochet and from a flier, but it was alleged -- no gun was found, no sniper was found. i had the task of interviewing people who are the victims families and reconstructing what happened. this guy was shot in the back while running from police. this one was shot while drinking a beer on his porch. this woman happened to be shot in a window. and on and on and on. and what happened is, the grand jury was convened to bring the end -- me in to tell them who really was to blame. they were blaming the eyewitnesses and not the police. no good will come of this, because we have seen this is the missing gap -- this is the gap in the 1960's. many social achievements cultural achievements of environmental achi

in fact the images seen on television look and sound much like a lynch mob. >> they've already tried and convicted the officers and that's just unfair. they still get their day in court. they did not give up their constitutional rights when they became a law enforcement officer. that's what i was getting at to that. some of the protesters and some of the stuff i've been watching on the news, they want them put in prison. well they haven't been charged. >> i have baltimore city councilman with me. thank you so much for taking the time. >> thank you, brooke for covering this for us. >> it's important to be here. and it's important to cover this whole story, as much as we can, given the fact there's a dearth of information. you're fired up, spskecifically over the mayor, whose office is just over our shoulder. you say she's been too calm about all this. >> well for too long. i don't want to make this a distraction of elected officials quarreling. that's not what this bigger issue is. the bigger issue and why i'm upset is the fact that leadership has been too calm about this entire polic
