i m wondering if you can share from your perspective, what impact that sort of violence is having on black communities, on police. how do you begin to build back trust when these horrific things keep happening? well, first i ll speak as a black man. for being a black man this this country, it s continuous trauma for us. since the first african american man and woman was brought here to this country, we have been under attack. that s the reality and truth of it. america doesn t want to hear that, but we ve been under attack continuously, and for all the progress that we ve made, when you see another black man murdered live and in color on police body camera and cctv footage, it just reminds you of how far we have to go. your heart, of course, goes out to his family, his community, but the families and folks here in baltimore who have been going through the same thing and all
shootings. it s still not enough. we have to do all of it. we have to do investments in the communities like i was in yesterday that are victimized from systemic racism and disinvestment that happen on purpose. we have to hold people accountable. this is not an either/or. it s a both/and. and we need to step up in our country and deal with that. when you look at countries around the world, they don t have this problem and people don t have access to these weapons because 60% of the weapons that we recover here in baltimore come from other states. of course, this is happening while the country is still processing what we saw out of memphis, this footage just released in the last 48 hours where a black man lost his life at the hands of police in this violent attack. it s something your city dealt with in a way with freddie gray in 2015. you were not mayor then, but it is your city.
