police commissioner anthony best and the mayor of baltimore, stephanie rawlings-blake. is a live picture, i understand, of where they are. kellye: that's right. we were panning off the police commissioner there. that is the mayor of baltimore, stephanie rawlings-blake who has been one of the main people involved responding to this tragedy. we heard from her repeatedly last night and now she is set to speak again about the riots that took place yesterday. alison: we understand they're updating things once an hour. we're awaiting this 5:00 hour press conference where hopefully we'll get more information on cleanup and what has been a calm and peaceful day thus far. everybody there in baltimore hoping it remains that way. should we wait here for them to speak? all right. let's move on and we'll come back as soon as they take the microphone. kellye: in the midst of all of the news out of baltimore yesterday, the metropolitan washington airport authority announced a major delay in the second phase of the silver line. alison: that's right. now businesses and residents living

baltimore mayor stephanie rawlings-blake has called for a curfew starting phenomenon. nobody will be allowed on the streets between 10:00 in the evening until 5:00 in the morning unless you have a medical emergency or you are on your way to work. baltimore also announced that schools will be closed tomorrow. and on the one hand that makes sense. on the other hand, that is going to pose a real conundrum for some parents. if you're a parent of school-aged kids in baltimore and you can't get time off work with this late notice, if you can't get time off work, so you have to go to work and you don't want your school-aged kids to be unsupervised all day tomorrow in this environment, what do you do with your kids now that the schools are going to be closed all day tomorrow. it was when school let out that the violence and looting started this afternoon after the funeral of freddie gray freddie gray was arrested and loaded into a police van. by the time he got out of the police van he had a nearly severed spine and the crushed voice box. although baltimore has had peaceful pr

but at this point we've not heard from the mayor of baltimore stephanie rawlings-blake and baltimore residents who have taken to social media are increasingly frustrated by the fact that they've heard nothing about the protests that have turned their city in to a violent place. we're just hearing the national guard has been activated. >> we want to go to scott broom live on the ground. he was at freddie gray's funeral today. >> i'm on pennsylvania and retreat street here in baltimore. the fire at the cvs is just about a half a block down there. we can see the top of one of the fire department towers that was putting water on the fire. you can see in front of me here a line of police and an armored vehicle which has moved here to prevent anymore protesters or anybody getting any closer to that location. this is one of the many lines they've set up to try to create a zone where they can begin to stop people, hopefully get them to disperse, turn around and go in a different direction. i want to let you know we followed this armored vehicle in here and as it cruised through the neighborh

we also heard in the last hour from the mayor of baltimore, stephanie rawlings-blake. watch. >> with respect to how do we get to order, let's be clear, you know i've the council president and i share the frustration of the negative images that are being shown of our great city but best belief we're going to use all of those images to hold the individuals who are destroying our cities accountable. so once people start getting arrested for the looting, for the destruction, i think they will understand that this is not a lawless city. and the thugs and the you know i'm at a loss for words, because it just doesn't -- it is idiotic to think that by destroying your city you're going to make life better for anybody. >> mayor of baltimore speaking tonight, saying baltimore is not a lawless city. she also later tonight gave a more impromptu press conference in which she said we will bring order to chaos. we will bring justice, speaking with reporters as she was out in the streets, actually at the site of a fire that we've been seeing throughout the night tonight. that fire that

there's been some amount of confidence in the mayor's handling of this stephanie rawlings blake. tell us a little bit if you can, about the city itself and the difference between east and west baltimore, and how much what's happening in the aftermath of freddie gray's death and funeral is a response to years of things that may have been going on in baltimore. >> i'll do my best. to provide local context, what you're looking at basically is the mall -- i shop at that target in that mall. it's sort of the big inner city mall on the best side of baltimore. when everything started getting a little crazy today, it's the very end of the school day, and there's a lot of bus lines that terminate at that mall. so you'd expect to see a lot of teenagers there to begin with. at 2:00 today, the baltimore police put out this warning that you guys have been talking about. it said that there was a coordinated action among generally rival street gangs that target businesses and to target the police themselves. activists responded almost immediately and said those are lies, this is an attempt by t

this is the mayor of baltimore, stephanie rawlings-blake.'s listen in. >> good afternoon or early evening. all right. we're getting started. simmer down now. all right. good evening, everyone. thank you for being here. last night was a very rough period for our city. but today i think we saw a lot more of what baltimore is about. we saw people coming together to reclaim our city to clean our city and to help heal our city. i think this can be our defining moment not the darkest days that we saw yesterday. i spent the morning talking to residents. i visited along north avenue where residents were cleaning up and tried to give comfort to people who know that their lives are going to be disrupted in major ways for a long time does of the damage that was done to their community. i saw the damage that was done to mondawmin mall and it breaks my heart. those of us from baltimore know how hard we fought for those resources and those stores, to bring good quality products and items to our community and to have those those stores destroyed, mom and p

and that's what our parents are asking us for. >> you look at the mayor, stephanie rawlings-blake.e's wear an under arm our hat. it's based here in baltimore. i think she wants to send is a message that business is still operating here. perhaps that's why she's wearing the hat. the president called on those rioting. he's calling them krimgs and thugs. the white house really out front and center to talk about what's going none baltimore. it was a little different than when the riots first broke out. then whereas the brand-new attorney general loretta lynch who was front and center. the president is now facing this directly. and having an emotional question and answer question with reporters during the meeting with the japanese prime minister. michelle kosinski has more. >> keep in mind what we heard from the white house was a low-ski response. not similar to what we've seen in prior incidents after ferguson. but 24 hours later, the president knew she was going to get a question from somebody on the subject at this press conference and he was ready. just let loose about how he feels

mayor stephanie rawlings blake says officials are investigating whether there's a connection between riots. we'll keep an eye on this and follow the story on air and online at 6abc.com. >>> ufc champion jon jones released on bond after turning himself in to face felony hit and run chargess in albuquerque new mexico. witnesses say jones crashed into a pregnant woman's car on sunday and then ran off. he then returned to the scene to grab cash from his rental car. officers found marijuana in the vehicle. jones is scheduled to defend his title next month in las vegas. >> a popular teacher in washington state risked his life to protect his school. he tackled a teen brought a gun to the school in lacy and was firing slots into the air yesterday. no one was injured. the teacher and the principal held down the 16-year-old until police arrived. school was canceled for the rest of the day. >>> a college professor in texas is making a bold statement by failing an entire class. irwin horowitz is a professor at texas a & m galveston. he sent an e-mail to his strategic psychiatric management class

let's go to the news conference and mayor stephanie rawlings blake and the police commissioner anthonythey have been -- the news conference has been fairly peaceful day today a lot of people cleaning up, getting out an important message of the community of baltimore. and the problems that they have with police aggression in their eyes, in their community. a very different day today from what we saw yesterday. but there are a lot of questions about whether some of this damage to all of those businesses and the destruction of property could have been prevented if the mayor had made the call to the governor asking for state of an emergency and the demroitployment of the national guard sooner. that's coming from a lot of the businesses as we heard from mark segraves, one man watching it from his cell phone, the security cameras inside his sports store as some 300 people ripped it apart and destroyed his business. the cvs where a lot of the family members of the people looting rely on that cvs to get now that has been destroyed. let's listen to the mayor and the police commissioner of balti

curfew the mayor's voice over the loud speaker, stephanie rawlings-blake pleading with people to go homeets at 10:00. so please just go home. >> reporter: locals determined to encourage others to heed the call but they are staying put. there are no real bullets hitting anybody here now. 10:00 p.m. comes and goes but it is not until a few bottles fly that the police start a slow advance. you can see the flash bangs. they are not gas. this

. >> we will hear from her momentarily, the mayor stephanie rawlings-blake a huge issue on her handsside investigations what else does she need to do? >> i think she needs to convey that to the public to at least try to be a little bit patient and understanding at the process here. you know by calling for another investigation, there's already two, there's going to be the police investigation as well as the fbi department of justice investigation. when you add a third investigation that means that witnesses now have a chance to give three different statements which could be in conflict which could later jeopardize a prosecution if there is to be one against any of the police officers. the more conflicts you have with witnesses the more that can be impeached when they testify and their statements thrown out. it actually is not helping the community by having all these separate investigations which could conflict. >> i think there could be three or four. cedric maybe you know better than i do. at least three or four investigations already underway. the police are investigating, the cit

i was in baltimore earlier today meeting with mayor stephanie rawlings-blake at city hall and moments ago the mayor talked about today's peaceful crowds. >> last night was a very rough period for our city but today i think we saw a lot more of what baltimore is abou

stephanie rawlings-blake in the city of baltimore. let's go. ven begin with this press conference i want to again offer my sin seencere condolences to all of mr. gray's family to his friends. i am very keenly aware of their pain during this difficult time. i know that many in our community continue to pray for them. i want to thank the members of our community for their commitment to peaceful and respectful protests during this process. our community is very clear. they demand answers and so do i. i still want to know why the policies and the procedures for transport were not followed. i still want to know why none of the officers called for immediate medical assistance despite mr. gray's apparent pleas. the one thing we all know is that because of this incident a mother has to bury her child. and she doesn't even know exactly how or why this tragedy occurs. only that this occurred while her child was in our custody, in police custody. and this is unacceptable. as mayor, as a parent, as someone who's lost family members to violence i know that

. >> that was baltimore mayor stephanie rawlings-blake. you can see darkness is falling in baltimore tonight. we learned a number of things from the mayor. first of all, there will be a curfew that begins at 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. in the city of baltimore. it's going to last at least one week. we've been told that the police department in baltimore is fully deployed. that all police leave has been canceled. the large police force is out on the street but the governor of maryland has declared a state of emergency and activated the national guard. in all of this it follows a day of violence. the governor is expected to hold a news conference in just about an hour and wrel bring it to you live. the unrest is after the funeral of freddie gray an african-american man who died in police custody. all afternoon we saw rioters clash with law enforcement and several officers have been injured and 15 officers were injured today. two are still in the hospital. police cars were set on fire. protesters threw stones and bottles and looted stores. they s

. >> baltimore's mayor stephanie rawlings-blake today called under criticism for the young people who engaged in rock throwing and looting and fires on monday "thugs," a term also used by barack obama. she said "when you speak out of frustration and anger, one can say things in a way that you don't mean." joining me now msnbc national reporter tremain lee. you spent all day with the protesters. there was a huge protest that came right through penn station. what did you see? >> there were several hundred marchers, a more diverse crowd than we've seen in days march from penn station down to city hall. one thing interesting not just the diversity but there was no police presence there. several hundred, maybe 600 students marching peacefully chanting that they're here for forfor for -- in support of freddie gray's family. they gathered at city hall more chanting speakers on the microphone turned back around and marched back to penn station. one thing for certain, things can always begin peacefully. so even the sense is that everything has been peaceful and quiet, what happens tonight when

stephanie rawlings blake has apologized.eems, if we're to believe the white house press secretary, defiantly sort of doubling down on this is how i describe looters and people who perpetrate violence. so what is that conversation in the black community? >> sure. it's a conversation about what we call respectability politics or this idea that the way black people make the case that they are citizens and should be treated with respect is never doing anything wrong to be buttoned down to be educated to always be articulate. to never express any kind of rage about the injustices that they face to just go to work every day, and then trust the system. so for me i don't like the narrative that says that this is about the violent actions of a few. my question is where are folks supposed to put these decades and decades of rage after being mistreated by people who were sworn to protect them. the police officers have a higher responsibility to protect people in our communities because they have state power backing their right to use l

lou: good evening, i am lou dobbs, baltimore mayor stephanie rawlings-blake denies she ordered her police deputy to stand down in face of violent riots, looting and arson. but now a senior law enforcement official in baltimore contradicts the mayor, and claims she gave a direct order to the police chief to give way to those rioters we're joined by bishop ew jackson, and rich lowery taking off failure of leadership in baltimore but exam know a city that suffered almost 60 years of disastrous liberal leadership and failed policies, new revelation that clinton foundation is still withholding the i.d. i-ts of over a thousand -- identities of over a thousand donors and blaming a nonexistent canadian law for the lack of transparency, the man who broke the clinton scandal white open is here, and iran's chief nuclear negotiator committing to something that ayatollah said that iran would never agree to. we're joined by retired four-star general former arm vice chief of staff general jack keane, and the prozactive iranian -- provocative iranian military. >> we begin in baltimore. gang members calli

baltimore mayor stephanie rawlings blake is under fire for the city's violence. it goes back to comments she made over the weekend that sound like she was trying to justify the riots. >> while we try to make sure that they were protected from the cars and the other things that were going on we also gave those who wish to destroy space to do that as well. >> destroy the space. thaets words coming back to haunt her. insists her words were taken out of context. the mayor saying she wanted to give peaceful protestors a chance to get out their message. >> i never said november wouldr would i ever say we are giving people space to destroy our city. my words should not be twisted. >> timing of a city wide curfew wasn't announced until last night. it doesn't go in effect until tonight despite warnings of violence in social media. for example this flier among baltimore high school students called for a purge this is in reference to a movie where a 24-hour period of no laws leads to widespread violence and looting. instead of blaming the looters and rioters who the mayor c

the mayor, stephanie rawlings-blake she had already raised eyebrows over some of the comments he shend. she made this comment shortly after we got our first glimpse that the protests were taking a turn over the weekend. here's what she said. >> while we tried to make sure that they were protected from the cars and the other things that were going on we also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well. >> reporter: now the mayor said those comments were taken out of context, they were twisted. that she wasn't saying she was giving space to people to destroyed property and businesses. she was saying that unfortunately the space they had given to peaceful protesters she meant was used by people some people for violent purposes. nevertheless people lost businesses who are left wondering why law enforcement officials didn't do more earlier, jake. there's a lot of people who are starting to doubt this mayor here on the ground. >> that's right. even if you talk what the mayor said on face value as to what she says she intended there's a big question about the policing. anderso

there's ban lot of criticism of major stephanie rawlings-blake for using the term "thug." she's had to walk back some information like the idea it was going to be some sort of release to the public on friday. that is not the case anymore. what do you want to see city leaders do differently? >> i want them to step up and not take it as an attack on them but take it as a charge to do what you were elected to do, do what you were put in place to do. make the city safe. it's already profitable. make it safe. make it thrive. use it as a chance to stop this cycle of our young men being shot down, being killed, being hurt by police unjustly. use it as a chance to change. >> reporter: as you can see, all of the aprils are pretty much of one accord. this reflects what we've heard all day long, young men and women in this community hurting long before anyone burned the cvs, quite frankly. there are a lot of buildings with no window, boarded-up window, systemic poverty. you can walk one long block from where i'm standing right now and see buildings that are uninhabitable. it's hard t

mark: you have a democratic african-american mayor stephanie rawlings-blake who said something a couplef days ago that caused a lot of controversy. a republican governor. often in these situations, you can have tension between a mayor and a government. how is the working relationship between those two people? dave: it has been bitter in public. they are both not politicians who people expect to hold those jobs just a year ago. the governor was elected in an upset with low democratic turnout. the mayor took over after a scandal. there is not a lot of faith in the public by either of these people and the being tested in a way that they had not been expected to. there was skepticism last night that the national guard being sent here because people did not see it. mark: would you say the governor is rising to the occasion? dave: that is really depending on the curfew tonight. based on last night, the sentiment was that everybody should have moved sooner. he did not get a lot of credit for getting the national guard ready in such short notice or scrambling beforehand. i think he gets credit

>> stephanie rawlings-blake grew up in baltimore city. she was the daughter of a half-black leader who was a civil rights icon. she knows what time it is. she knows that there's been a sordid history in baltimore city of police brutality and she knows what needs to be done about it. the problem we're having with her, as we've had with previous mayors is that when you are looking at higher political office, that keeps you from immediately doing the right thing and it causes you to make calculations. for example, she can't become governor unless she gets white support. and so in order to get white support, you can't act with the ill lack ratty you should be having because the whites are not yet ready to understand it. on the other hand, cell phone cameras have sensitized everybody to the horrendous nature of the problem, so that ought not to be anything that holds her back from doing the right thing. you know, ambition is a tricky state of mind. and we're looking forward to her growth so by doing the right thing she'll advance the higher of

executive order one week ago but despite numerous pleas from his office baltimore mayor stephanie rawlings-blake waited until 6:30 last night to act. according to maryland state law the governor cannot activate a state of emergency until the mayor asks for it. so in this case the call came 3 1/2 hours into active rioting, looting and fires. governor hogan: finally, around 6:00, the mayor said, requested us to bring in the national guard and declare a state of emergency. we did so immediately because we had already prepared the order a week before. it was about 30 seconds before we completely activated all of the resources we had to bear. kevin: now, did speak on the phone with the mayor's press secretary some three hours ago. by now, we expected some form of response to governor hogan's statement. we made them very well aware of our news deadline. but we are still waiting for a response from mayor rawlings-blake's office. at the very latest in baltimore, i'm kevin lewis, abc 7 news. leon: thank you for that kevin. now, the cleanup that is under way here is actually quite remarkable. we've seen t

and he said that mayor stephanie rawlings-blake is one of us. she's from this community.long history in state and local government very trusted and well known name. and he said that she is on our side but then took it a step further and said she knows what time it is. she knows what's going on here. she knows how the police are. we all know how the police are. there is this sort of us versus them but there is a sense here today that there's some people in this government who do care about getting to the bottom of what happened. a sense especially on the part of the family of giving the police and the baltimore city government the benefit of the doubt that they are going to try to do a full and fair investigation. but you go down on the street let's talk about inside the church today. there was a projection on the wall that says black lives matter, all lives matter. just about a half mile down the street coming here i saw a sign that said, they did this to freddie gray they'll do it to you too. there's a severe disconnect on the street from the police department that belie

stephanie rawlings-blake who had a conversation with president obama today. also i can tell you the baltimore police will be joining her. captain eric kowalczyk. we'll bring it to you live. in the meantime i want to go straight to dave clinger, former los angeles police officer along with l.z. granderson our commentator. let me get your reaction to this sort of. david, first of all, from the police side of things, there are seven injured police. it's been horrible what has happened to police today there is no denying that. when you did see the rioting, though and the looting at several of these stores, there didn't seem to be any sort of police presence in any of the footage that we have or that reporters saw. why would police have withdrawn? >> unfortunately, i think an awful lot of police commanders around the country lack the intestinal fortitude to step up and do the right thing. and that is because the people above them, the mayor, the governor so on and so forth will not step into the breach and support them. so they're caught in limbo. and they don't f
