that might compromise the investigation or change a witness s testimony. so there s some information that we re not able to put out right now. but again we re going to continue to put out as much information as we can to be open transparent and hold this department accountable to the community that we serve. we have more questions for you. i want you to stand by. we ll take a quick break. much more right after this. people ship all kinds of things. but what if that thing is a few hundred thousand doses of flu vaccine. that need to be kept at 41 degrees. while being shipped to a country where it s 90 degrees. in the shade. sound hard? yeah. does that mean people in laos shouldn t get their vaccine? we didn t think so.
going to get immediately involved or is this one of those long civil rights investigations that will go on and on and on or will they immediately send people fbi agents for example, others representatives from the civil rights division of the justice department to bought tore baltimore to calm things down? i think they ll be there very quickly. they have been monitoring the situation. they have been gathering some of the evidence already to try to see if there s anything. and that s one reason why you see them already deciding that they have enough cause to open an investigation because they believe that there s questions that need to be answered. i want to listen very briefly to what one of these protesters is now saying. i want them to know they re not in it by themselves that the city of baltimore stands with them. make some noise for freddie gray. come on, turn it up.
dramatic. and as one of your reporters mentioned earlier, there s indications at the end of the video that mr. gray is standing and assists himself into the wagon but that doesn t get to the heart of this issue. that doesn t address the frustration of the community. and we know that and hear that. you re right, though. our people are very frustrated and we ve been listening to those concerns. we share in those concerns and we want to make sure that this investigation to find out exactly what happened addresses those concerns. the police commissioner talked yesterday about the fact that people have a right to express their frustrations. we re asking people to remain peaceful when they do. but we expect people to voice their frustrations in that matter. we re going to allow them to do and continue in our investigation to give them the answers that way want. why did it take 30 minutes to call for an ambulance? yeah that s part of what this investigation hopefully is going to find out.
hold on for a moment mark morial. i want to remind our viewers what we re seeing that march going on. those are protesters but those are family members, including the mother of freddie gray the 25-year-old young man who died in police custody after his neck his spine was broken went into a coma and died in the hospital. the mother had her face covered with a hoodie but now she s being covered by some friends or relatives as they re walking through the streets. joey jackson, our hln legal analyst, criminal defense attorney weigh in on your thoughts joey. well we know wolf there will be a justice department investigation under way and that s going to be an issue. i should point out that simply because the federal government steps in it does not at all prevent or preclude the state from moving forward. early in the program there was a discussion about, hey, should these officers be charged with first-degree murder. that s still undecided. why? because the investigation is ongoing. how
to lose their son under these circumstances, there s probably a combination of just anger, anger against the police anger against whether or not justice will indeed be done and now i think you also have understandable response by the community in terms of protests. and i think people s actions to protests are going to continue until such time as a decision has been made relative to charges. so i think that the authorities should conduct a careful investigation, but it should be expedited. the mayor s challenge and the leadership s challenge is to ensure that they re holding the investigatory apparatus accountable and that they re speaking to the community and reaffirming their commitment to
