Conjunction with the chief, our Community Partnership division worked together to make sure that our officers were being taken care of. Clearly, thats concern. So we have been working the last several days to ensure that we have counselors and pastors for officers to talk to so that they are able to express any emotions that they are having or concerns that they have. Obviously, thats something that is very important and we want to make sure that our officers are taken care of. Critics are saying that police are treating protesters in white neighborhoods different than black neighborhoodsome there any disparity there . [ inaudible ]. I think you have seen with our deployments and said this from the beginning, where we have the largest alps of people women ship the largest am of resource as we are doing enforcement activity doing curfew enforcement, going to target on obvious lilt largest gatherings of people first and shift resources to address smaller and smaller groups. And thats bee
Possible for what you get to see, when we were in this area it was bricks and bottles and this building was burning. This is the only prescription filling pharmacy within a mile of this area. These are necessities. Its gone. Bricks and bottles are replaced with brooms and shovels. The community is out in force doing the hard work of repairing and cleaning up. A man who grew up here brought his daughter. She was 7. She is sweeping. We say why . She says i live here. I care. That is going to be the commitment that makes a difference in this community. That is what will bring people together here. More than what any politician can say to them or theyll hear at a press conference. The other thing they ask for here is this is a show of goodwill. Unlike last night which was obviously the opposite and you can explain it or excuse it a lot of different ways clarity will build consensus. Whats happening to our communities . Why did they put hundreds of millions of dollars into the harbor front,
Thanks for joining me. Im Fredricka Whitfield live in baltimore. People are starting ging to gather here near city fall. An interfaith rally is about to get under way outside the plaza here. Hours after the mayor lifts the citywide curfew and the government announces National Guard troops are starting to draw down. Nick valencia and athena jones are here in baltimore with me. Nick the governor says he is drawing down the National Guard. Are you seeing any signs of a pullback from the National Guard . Reporter not where we are. We still see that National Guard presence. We were told earlier about two hours ago that withdrawal or that winddown will continue to happen. It might not happen as fast as some people in this community would like it to. Many here expected to be a part of this 3 00 p. M. Faithbased coalition. To continue the conversation surrounding the death of freddie gray. A couple of people in attendance here Law Enforcement executives. You have a unique perspective. So much
Who follow isis in the media, in the academic world, but clearly someone that u. S. Intelligence and the u. S. Military had known about and were tracking for some time. I think a lot more is likely to come to light. We cant assume we know everything at this hour. But officials familiar with the raid in syria have told cnn that he was for some time essentially the oil and gas emir the head of isis oil and gas operations which had in the past been vital to them raising money. But recently had become something much more than that something very troubling. He had taken on an increasing role in isis Operations Planning commanding control and critical information here. The u. S. Believes he may well have had some kind of communication with abu bakr al baghdadi, the leader of isis.

This was supposed to
This comes as the city prepares for a faithbased march and rally right here at city hall plaza. That starts the next hour. Cnn are here in baltimore. Lets start with renee outside the justreopened mall. That was the mall looted by a number of people monday afternoon into the evening. Renee, what happened there today when the mayor showed up . Reporter well i can tell you, fred this as you said this was ground zero for where all that looting and violence started. I just took a swing through. Not every single business has reopened. I did also see of the businesses that were open many of the Business Owners were assessing the loss. They just werent clear at this point how much they lost. I also saw the National Guard inside essentially doing walking patrols to make sure everything is on the up and up. As you mentioned, not long ago, the mayor was standing right outside of the mall not only to announce it was reopening, but also to reiterate that the curfew that the city had been under had
