The editorial pages of two newspapers take a look at what happened particularly when it comes to the Law Enforcement angle, from Washington Post, a step towards justice is there angle. The wall street journal also in their editorial takes a look at this issue specifically mentioning officers, adding this if we learn anything from ferguson, missouri and sat nilan that early conclusions about the facts and Police Confrontations are often wrong. If great julie was killed by the police the best way is to give the police a fair trial and due process that he was denied.

It was in the roosevelt room yesterday in the white house where the president was meeting on a different topic but in a conversation with reporters, and commented on the charges. [video clip] president obama i can tell you that Justice Needs to be served. All the evidence needs to be presented. Those individuals who are charged obviously are also entitled to due process and rule of law. I want to make sure that our legal system runs the way it should. The Justice Department and our new attorney general is in conversations with baltimore officials to make sure that any assistance we can provide on the investigation is provided. What i think the people baltimore want more than anything else is the truth. That is what people around the country expect. To the extent that it is appropriate, this a administration will help local officials get to the bottom exactly of what happened. Host again for baltimore residents to comment on the charges done yesterday on the death of freddie gray, that does rolled a homicide, 202 7488000. For Law Enforcement, 202 7488001. All others, 202 7458002. You can post on our social media sites as well. We will start with john in spring texas this morning. John, go ahead. Caller i think these Police Officers probably did something to him in that building where they brought him out and put him in that van, handcuffed him. This is outrageous. It is about time these Police Officers were prosecuted further actions. For their actions. I just cant believe it. That is my opinion on it. Host as a Legal Process goes on, what do you think of the process . Now as the case goes to court, do you have confidence in a . Caller not really. Host lets hear from sarah and georgia. Sarah, good morning. Go ahead. Caller good morning. I think the Police Officers should get a fair trial. I also think that nationwide the way the Police Apprehend citizens need to change. No more being them in the back, pressing down on their schools choking them. They are supposed to arrest, apprehend, and put them in the van, not punish along the way. I think police are terribly wrong and how they treat people that they apprehend. Thank you. Host how would you want to see the way that apprehensions occurred, how would you want to see a change. . Caller look at what happened with their eric garner. Didnt you see a policeman behind the one pressing down on his head . These policeman inflict pain. They do not try to just arrest you, they try to kill you. They joke you. They give you and them mma, mixed martial arts tactics. Why couldnt they just arrest you went freddie gray was arrested . Why did they have to hold him down as if they were holding down a hog that they were slaughtering. They held him down, drove out lifted his knees up to his backside, would not give him an and he and heller. And heller. In georgia, the killed a naked man. Host that was sarah. Next color in north carolina. Caller i am concerned that we do not convict all policeman. Im 77 years old. I have had encounters with policeman as a blackmail. Black male. Around the country, we have to have the courts and policeman and community to join forces so that we can change this paradigm. We need to change policing policies. We need people in the community to help us do that. Host when you say change policing, what do you mean exactly . Caller we have to hold them accountable. They have been able to get away with a number of things because they have been policing themselves, independent of agencies that go and and investigate. That is necessary. I just hope that we will change. Everyone needs to participate not just Law Enforcement agents, politicians, but ordinary people who have to have an input. We get the brunt of it. Host that was horace from fayetteville, north carolina. Sean is up next. Hello, go ahead. Caller how are you doing this morning . Host fine, thanks. Caller i think the debt to be ruled a homicide is fair. On the regards to the state attorney, i do think she has some political motivation as far as her comments that were made yesterday. I think the police releasing themselves, i dont think that is a real good idea. If we look to what happened in south carolina, the Law Enforcement officers were released and headed over to the state, the states version of policing themselves. As far as the death goes with mr. Gray, i dont think the people that are in or around baltimore i think they want justice. In order for justice to be done everything needs to be set aside. As far as peoples opinions. They need to let the child play out. Trial play out. Host the papers highlight the reaction of yesterday by ms. Mosey saying it was jean ryan requesting a special prosecutor. He pointed to her relationship with William H Murphy junior the attorney for grace family. On friday, murphy said her decision to file charges has given the family hope. Murphy raise money for mosbys campaign and was a member of her transition team. The letter also focused on her husband, and it, a member of the Baltimore City council representing the wealth west Baltimore Neighborhood where gray was arrested. We have said aside three set aside three different lines as morning. For baltimore residents, 202 7488000. For Law Enforcement, 202 7488001. For all others, 202 7458002. We will hear from a member of Law Enforcement, ron. Caller your first name is juan correct . Host pedro. Caller i apologize. There is one thing you dont see in the conversation i am calling from washington, im a little sleepy, i apologize. There is one thing that no one is saying on facebook, on social media, or the radio or television. The first thing that happened in the gray case that shows Police Responsibility is whenever you deal with the public and you are detaining someone, and they end up injured, they are not playing in a patty wagon, they are put in an ambulance. Once you are detained by a police, they are responsible for your condition. The largest mistake that they made is not putting him in the hands of emt, what we would use in miami. There is huge culpability there. From a lawenforcement standpoint, i hope former policeman or policeman who are listening, and civilians who are very propolice understand that police do not solve crime. The United States has lost about 10 million living wage jobs. We have gone from an 18 per our society to an eight dollars per our society. We have to provide families with jobs. There is no other solution. Put americans to work and they will give thanks on sunday. That is my only observation. Host kevin is up next in virginia. Caller good morning. The prosecutors deal was off the chart. As she was reading the charges yesterday, i feel she lost i feel she should have, she and her entire team, should have worked through the weekend and made sure of all of the charges and secondguessed themselves before they went running out in front of the microphones. You know, she is also a very inexperienced prosecutor. She is very young. This is a groundbreaking case here. Between her and the mayor, they were running videotape of her less last night, they were saying between us three black women, if we cannot get justice in baltimore, where can we get a . This is so political. This has nothing to do actually with what happened with freddie gray. First of all, i am sorry, a lot of people will not like this freddie gray was a drug dealer. Not worried about him. He is gone. That is one more person who is ruining the streets of baltimore who is not here anymore. Im sorry to say it. The other thing i would say, the very last thing, me being a white 50yearold man from virginia, i think it looks like it was rushed and political. For the black innercity people in baltimore, they are so happy today. It shows you how our country is a little divided. Host the Washington Post and other papers are profiled marylandrilyn mosby. She has little experience prosecuting homicide of Police Misconduct according to two baltimore defense lawyers. For baltimore residents, dont forget, you can call in at 202 7488000. We will hear from william and baltimore. Caller i voted for marilyn mosby. Yes, i think she was under extreme pressure to do something and do something fast, however we all know the arresting officers did make mistakes. It doesnt matter if freddie gray was a drug dealer, we are all supposed to be protected by law. I believe his injuries happen before he got into the van. Her strategy, Marilyn Mosbys strategy, in my view, she came down with some tough and hard charges because now those officers will be forced to talk. We will find out what happened as a result. Most of the blame has been placed on the driver however, i believe those injuries were incurred before he got into the van. Host how do you think the Legal Process will play out for these officers . Caller as i have said before, i believe somebody will be charged. I believe the arresting officers, the two who were traveling on bike somehow maybe during the takedown or what have you, i believe they are going to get the brunt of the blame for the death of freddie gray. I believe that the driver who was negligent in getting gray the attention, medical attention that he deserved, that was so delayed, will also get some blame. Host lets hear from jordan in randallstown maryland. Is that close to baltimore . Caller approximately four miles from Baltimore City. Good morning. I i agree with the man from south carolina. My point is that he made a comment saying this is not about freddie, this is about i agree with him. This is not about freddies death. This is about a huge income disparity, disenfranchisement of black people. In Baltimore City, it is just the rich and poor. There is no middle class. The political system is so corrupt, they give tax breaks to the ridge. The ordinary people are left to struggle for themselves. Then you have the former governor omalley. 85 of young black people with criminal records, they cant get jobs. You have police the Fourth Amendment of the constitution prohibits unnecessary search and seizure. Another amendment prohibits cool and unusual punishment. And another animate guarantees rights cannot be construed or denied. Unfortunately, the police have the authority to no, the bill of rights is intact. That is why people got so angry and went to the streets to protest, or riot. The whole world is watching. What happens in america is a microcosm of other countries. This country this great country, the beacon of democracy , if they can do this to their own citizens, what about me . America has the moral standing to host that was jordan. We have set aside a line for baltimore residents and lawenforcement and all others. If you want to call in about freddie grays death being ruled a homicide. Our next caller from virginia. Caller i cant believe what i am hearing on this whole situation. I come from a long family of police. Especially in new york. My uncle, of course he is retired now that he was Police Commissioner back in the 60s. This nonsense that we are going through in this country today is very detrimental to the whole nation. You just had a fellow screaming about the cuts attrition. Obviously he is an immigrant. When my family came back in 80 hundreds, there were no ebt cards, no welfare and nothing. They got off the boat and they got a job. They worked their way out. My grandfather greatgrandfather had a job shoveling. I resided retired from my own general contracting business. That is the name of the United States of america. You move yourself up by the your own by your own bootstraps. Down in baltimore yesterday, to hear from a Elijah Cummings, who has been a congressman for 20 years, all of a sudden he has realized that the Education System in the country is in that city is in poor condition. Meanwhile, that is the secondhighest paid School District in the United States next to new york. He realized that there is substandard housing, there are no jobs, where the hell has he been for 20 years . This is the most ridiculous lopsided situation. They are railroading these cops. Who says that those kids in that van could not have broken his neck . What if he fell over backwards and hit the seat . Is whole thing is a set up. It is a whitewash. They want to ruin these guys. Host that was still in virginia. Again, one of the lines, you can call in baltimore residents, while forstmann, and all others as well. He mentioned Elijah Cummings speaking on the situation. Another congressman, bobby rush of illinois, just moments after this announcement came from baltimore, he made comments on this in the house. [video clip] congressman rush the decision today, just a few moments ago she has done this nation an invaluable service. Especially for young people. Especially for the africanamerican and other minority youth hearinh. These young people for decades now youre in have yearned for justice for Police Misconduct, Police Brutality and yes, police murder. This new standing for justice is a standing that now transcends baltimore. Transcends even the entire state of maryland. Transcends and reaches other points across this nation ferguson, new york city, chicago, cleveland, other places all throughout this country. Host representative bobby rush in congress yesterday commenting on this decision. Off of twitter jade saying, when it comes to the decision yesterday, good move, let the courts figure it out. Bill king saying, the charges are one thing, a conviction is another. Theredarren, go ahead. Caller i just want to say, this freddie gray thing, it is a little more than freddie gray. The immigrant guy, the last guy he pretty much summed it up for me. It is about poverty and hopelessness and the cycle. It is much more heavy with black people but baltimore is very diverse. There are lots of pockets of poor white sectors. I wish some south baltimore callers would call in. I have white friends that police would jack them up and threw them in a van just like freddie gray all over baltimore. It is just wrong. I do not commit crime. I should not feel fear when i pull over my car is in good order, i have my registration. I should not feel fear getting pulled over. That is what i feel. Everybody knows in the city. I dont know which officer is good and which one is not. You dont know until they say hello. Host the previous caller brought up the political structure there and if they have done anything to alleviate the things that you have brought up. Do you have any thoughts on that . Caller yes, i have a thought on that. People are very apathetic people dont really vote. The mayor would not have gotten to the office if people do not look at the issues and voted. Almost no one voted and she won. I am sure that this event will hopefully get more people to vote. Voter apathy is a big problem in baltimore. It is notorious. The politicians dont really care because it works out in their favor. If there were ever some good candidates there were some good candidates on the ballot last time and the mayor was not my candidate. Host material from gilbert told the, oklahoma. Go ahead. Caller good morning. First and foremost, let me say this, it is the tell of two cities tale of two cities that goes on all over this country. I used to live in washington d. C. And the underground economy is the only thing they have going on. The schools that were horrible, that was 40 years ago. Just like washington, d. C. Now. Just crossing the bridge, you think you are in another planet. Underthe underground economy is only thing they have. All of the jobs have gone. Let me say this about the police. This is nothing new. If you want the police to Pay Attention to the place where the patrol and do the work, let them live in the city where they work. Not in the suburbs. The thing is be responsible to the people who are paying your paychecks. To the caller earlier who was talking a immigrants and working , first and foremost, it has always been divided. Blacks came to this country in chains. The chains may have been removed, but the color has not. Therefore, they suffer the indignities of being different from the vast number of white people in this country. Let
