one of the most important things i think the message that the city councilman and the city representative sent out yesterday it was a sad message. the mayor got on public got on national television and called her, said these were her children and also said these were the thugs of the city and the same breath. you can't call the children of the city and the thugs of the city the same thing. >> are you glad everybody is coming together? >> it shows that -- it shows naturally unity and peace naturally reside. naturally humanity we possess a unity and peace that naturally lives on the inside of us and this shows us. >> you can hear the passion from people who have decided to come out on their own and sort of police themselves. once again, wolf police have faded to the background people singing an the tension has washed away so far. >> all right. ryan standby. let me get reaction to what we heard knicks mossnick -- nick had to leave. bernard parks, from the one protester upset the mayor of baltimore referred to some of those individuals as thugs, presumably those who ransacked the store, wept
