and they seem passionate. but they also seem peaceful and nonviolent. that s right. it s overwhelmingly a peaceful crowd, rev. everyone is kind of in unison. this was a very organized march. enough so that the police and law enforcement already knew it was going to happen before it happened. but as always is the case rev, and you remember from ferguson and you kind of know that once night falls, things tend to change. whether by law enforcement tactic or different groups of people coming out into the street. now i would be surprised if i saw a crowd of this size this diverse down on further into the westside where we ve seen much of the problem and much of the police presence. again, if they all show up that might be a different story. but as of right now, this is a very peaceful very organized, very unified group of protesters. all right, thanks a lot, tremaine. amid the protests and demonstrations, baltimore s baseball team made history. the orioles played the first
air force vet. his name is clarence logan. and he was then a young civics leader here, a civil rights leader in the city of baltimore. wow. and they were dealing then with problems of the long-standing issues of racial barriers. and that was in 1962, the problem that remained then of unemployment housing and public accommodations. and it just goes on. and it almost is an article that you could write today, rev. it is something that has been going on for decades, which is why i think you have such a pent up amount of emotions and passions in the people in that community. as long as i ve been active, and i ve been active since i was a teenager, baltimore has been a notorious town for having inequities that were overlooked. there has certainly been an issue with the have and the have-nots. brandon scott. councilman, first of all, thank you for being here. thank you for having me reverend.
like imani out here there is parents with small children. there is college students from gaucher and towson and john hopkins. there is all sorts of folks. so it s a beautiful scene out here, rev. back to you. and it also appears like it s very diverse. one of the things that has impressed me about the gatherings that i ve seen is that they re representing a diversity of people standing up staying it s wrong, no matter who they may be in terms of their own personal background, it s wrong, the targeting of what people feel our young black men and what is reflected in the data from what has happened in the past in baltimore in terms of police department. yeah indeed. this group out here, a lot of white people asian people i mean obviously black people.
all right, joy reid and jonathan capehart thank you both for your time tonight. thanks rev. we ve got much more live from baltimore where protesters have arrived at city hall. and you re looking at rally in minneapolis where protesters are also gathering tonight. we ll be right back. and clearer skin. this is my body of proof that i can fight psoriatic arthritis from the inside out. with humira. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to both joint and skin symptoms. it s proven to help relieve pain, stop further joint damage and clear skin in many adults. doctors have been prescribing humira for nearly 10 years. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers including lymphoma have happened, as have blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell yo
another. but also what will law enforcement do? will they set up barricades so that people will be forced one way or the other? what will they do? that s what we don t know yet. in a matter of minutes or i m going to have to assume another hour or so, we ll know rev. so there is no visible presence of barricades of their cutting off access to any of the areas downtown. you re at city hall and you re around where the municipal offices are. there is no visible barricades of blockage by law enforcement at this point? not yet. we came around this and down st. paul. so ahead of success gay street. and then further into downtown. so far from where i m standing, i can t see anything. but again, i m here in the thick of the crowd. further up towards gay street and perhaps over you might have a better vanithe crowd has gathered outside of city hall. and here yes. now the students are chanting a slogan i know of too well.
