information from this investigation to the public because if there is a decision to charge in any event by the state s attorney s office, the integrity of that investigation has to be protected. as i said a few moments ago, we re expecting a news conference by the police in just a few minutes. we ll be covering of course the second it happens. i m joined by an investigative reporter with the baltimore sun. mark, what is going on here with the timing of this report released by the police? when is it going to be publicized? ever? well, it will become public, i think, once the charges are announced or there is no wrongdoing concluded by the state s attorney. the commissioner announced initially that everything will be turned over on may 1. but last friday on his press conference, he said that would happen, but the investigation still would be ongoing. then the state s attorney would undergo her investigation. so now everybody has kind of cautioned everybody not to read too much into t
really good point. we spent much of our day in west baltimore. i sat down on the stoop outside a property of tracy and john williams. they re grandparents. they re holding their little granddaughter nevaeh in their hands. nevaeh, heaven backwards. they said we re worried about her. they re worried about their young grandchild and about their own children in this community. they had the day, friday circled on their calendar because that s when they anticipate things could go well or very poorly. they feared violence returning to that neighborhood as a result of the investigation being released. but what they wanted most was justice. they wanted transparency and they wanted accountability. and their frustration tonight, and frankly to be clear with you, the protesters that marched by, we joined them for a period of time. a lot of the people i spoke to in the crowd have not yet heard this news. i would say it s going to be a problem. and the people in the news division down here i talke
of baltimore, west baltimore. and everybody is talking about they can t wait until friday, which is just two days from now. we just heard somebody had their calendar circled for that day, like it s a big day, a most important day. now we re told don t rely on that because nothing public could come out. this is going to be very frustrating over the weekend if this is the way they handle this thing. well, there is a lot of people who still haven t heard that message that the information is not going to be revealed. and that s why officials now, including freddie gray s family s attorney, billy murphy is telling people not to read too much into that, and to lower the expectations within the community. they want a thorough investigation. they want the findings to remain secret. well, that s not going to come over too well. thanks, mark puente for your great reporting for the sing, thank you. joy reid has more now on the disconnect over the friday date. joy, i m wait fog hear from you
the city to make sure that the police are held accountable. ron? hey, ron? yes, chris, i hear you. i m sorry, i was involved with a conversation with a professor from the university. again, why are you out here? i m out here because my students are marching. i want to show solidarity with my students, the citizens of baltimore. what shaping to the black community is not white. i want to show my support. but there is a process in place there is an investigation going on. you seem to have little faith in that. well, my dad is a police officer in the city of chicago. and i grew up thinking i was going to be a police officer. so for me, it s really, really important that i hold the police to the highest level of accountability. and the government is not holding them accountable. the city is not holding them accountable. so i want to be out here and show my support and make sure that the city is holding them accountable. the nation is involved in this very contentious, emotional
that the police give her to further her investigation. so there won t be any she certainly won t be able to in the same day that she gets that information to supplement what she is doing in the investigation make a determination about whether or not they re going to be charges. and i certainly don t want to give people the impression that our state s attorney will have made a decision by friday. well, that was the wrong tape. we ll get to that. i m joined by pastor donte hickman of baltimore s southern baptist church. so this has been a roller coaster of emotions and reality for you, pastor, losing your center and now being told you have a chance to rebuild it. absolutely, chris. we are excited about what we believe by faith would take place, that as we have sown in tears we would reap in joy. what was negative is being turned into a positive. we were already told by our developers and general contractors that we would be able to restart the building. we already had an architect
