gas fired at demonstrators at this intersection up here at pennsylvania and north. earlier this afternoon. there was some tension between police and protesters when they apprehended a man. but largely, aside from those two incidents, it has been largely peaceful. these protesters are on the move and again, calling for justice for freddie gray. all eyes pointing to friday when the police send that report to prosecutors on what exactly happened to freddie gray on april 12th. hands up. don t shoot! hands up, don t shoot! they ll probably walk several more intersections where they started this rally this afternoon. again, we have less than two hours until darkness hits. we have about four hours until the curfew is put into effect. everything looks peaceful now after last night with all the ransacking the looting, the street fires, the hundreds of arrest. 20 officers injured. this is going to be a very tense situation in a couple of hours
when people come from outside, it s one thing when people are saying we have pain within our community. s one thing when people say they want our police organization to say. we need to change to adapt to what the citizens say here. but when people come outside and authority this community and then when it s done they leave and go home it s not the right thing to do. what aye been told is activists within our community are trying to have conversations with people who are leading this stuff to remind them this is where we live, where we worship and where our kids go to school. so don t destroy it. a group of high school students demonstrating and the seshl media posts. did you find a district i think probably there was a social media posting that said come out to mondawmin mall at 3:00 and we re going to do a purge. the only thing i know about purge is a movie that s part one and two about running on a ram
police do to bring that number down? what is the policing on the street when you have this many people and the 600 murders weren t outside agitators, they were gang members and members of that community, you know that he has referred to. and he actually said that he blamed it on gang activity random confrontations. that s commissioner batts saying that s what is causing that. let me go to don lemon right now. don, you re there in baltimore there has ban lot of accusations against these gang members. i understand you have some representatives with you? yeah we had some representatives of the gang and we had technical issues. we can t get to them. and you ll have to watch it tonight, wolf. but it s really interesting because they re saying they had nothing to do with this. they said for the first time that they can remember, the crips and the bloods and the black guerrilla family, they have come together and there is a truce. this is what they re saying to
burn businessesing with loot? i don t care if they re five years old. if they re in a position to do that that needs to be stopped. we re talking about a handful of teenagers overwhelmed one of the biggest police departments in the country? i don t buy it. how about the number just watching cnn, you could see those were not juveniles burning down the buildings and looting the cvs. those were grown ups. so jeffrey toobin what you re saying is the commissioner was wrong when he didn t send in the troops send in the police to deal with it because he was told that they were a bunch of kids as opposed to adults? absolutely. and he didn t have to be told. he could have turned on his television and saw who was looting. those were not children looting. and as tom said even if they were children, dow don t get to loot if you re a 14-year-old old. but they weren t children. pamela brown as a quick
people may ask also and put the question why don t you move faster yesterday. did you prepare yesterday. yes, we prepared. we aed had over 200, 300 police officers out there around the mall at the time it took place. why didn t you move faster? was they re 14 15 and 16-year-old kids out there. do you want people using force on 14 15 16-year-old kids that are out there? and they re old enough to know better they re old enough to know not to do those things they re old enough to be accountable but they re still kids unfortunately. so we had to take into account while we were out there. [ applause ] you obviously have a number of people still on the streets, a number of hours from now. can you talk a little bit about the curfew we will continue to put
