following developments in freddie gray s death. it looked like big celebration instead of protests. what a contrast to what happened in new york city. a terrible situation. it was another quiet night in baltimore last night after that 10:00 p.m. curfew took effect. the combination of that curfew, also the charging of the six police officers and a little bit more aggressive policing as the week has progressed has really paying off right now. we saw only 20 arrests as of 11:00 p.m. last night. in a rally here at city hall yesterday afternoon, we heard some provocative rhetoric from the speakers. one evoking the words of winston churchill and another speaker citing the case of allen bullock. he was photographed smashing a police car window with a traffic

charges you get more information about one side of the case the prosecutor side of the case. the police union put out a broad statement of question to prosecutor but not getting into what the officers may say in their defense. that will necessarily come later an they may have information to offer about a different set of events or different view of events. but yes, with regard to whether it was a smoking gun or not, not the kind of evidence that is sealing the deal but a clear narrative that the driver of this car willfully, that would be the legal standard for second degree murder in maryland willfully sought out to injure and harm and kill freddie gray. that s the accusation. one thing we re getting now is more background information on police officers and about their pay. ceasar goodson with the most charges leveled against him, his gross pay is over $105,000. as he was the driver of this
when we talk about the charging documents state that freddie had a switch blade, that was a lie. right. he did not have a switch blade acourting to the state s attorney, at least according to her investigation and evidence that she has received. so how do you think that this goes on to evaluate how the baltimore city police department works in the future? it s the amount of attention that this case has gotten the amount of scrutiny that had case has gotten that has brought the fine details to light. but, of course we know this is not just the baltimore city police department frankly. how many times have we seen around the country that we look at a police report that says everything is fine and then in the order and then a good arrest was made and they don t know how don t know how the victim died. and then fortunately, there s a follow-up report or there
