lieutenant rice has been accused of domestic violence twice in the past. in one of those instance he was accused of threatening someone's life. given these accusations, was any consideration given to removing this officer from the streets at any time? >> you know, i can't comment on personnel records. what i can tell you is specific to this investigation, our investigators are going to look at every piece of evidence that's out there. they'll look at the timeline of events that led up to our interaction with mr. gray look at what the interaction was and the events that led to his passing. >> i want to ask you about a statement made by an official of the fraternal order of police yesterday referring to the protesters as a quote, lynch mob. do you fear a comment like that puts the citizens at baltimore, including your own officers at greater risk by further inflaming tensions? >> you know clearly i understand the concern over the choice of words. i don't want to speak for the fraternal order of police
