Podium and from people in the crowd that they know there is a lot of work still to be done in this city. Demonstrators poured into the park in front of Baltimore City hall today, bearing signs, chanting slogans, even dancing. Today s demonstration felt distinctly different from those weve seen over the last two weeks. Justice for freddie gray was no longer just a chant, but a work in progress. When we heard those charges announced yesterday, it felt like such a victory. From going from no charges at all to hearing that list of charges yesterday felt really good. I will seek justice on your behalf. Reporter prosecutor Marilyn Mosbys friday announcement of charges against all six officers involved in grays arrest seemed to give hope to demonstrators who had been preparing for disappointment and turned the young prosecutor into something of a folk hero. We want to thank and uplift a black woman who truly showed, no matter how divided city hall is, that shes got the citizens of baltimores back. We want to thank states attorney Marilyn Mosby [ cheers applause ] for bringing charges to six murders. Reporter in the crowd, optimism was tempered with the reality that convictions could be hard to come by. I mean, they got charged, but thats not the end. You know, think just because they got charged doesnt mean they are guilty. My reaction was it was a great step. Thats the step that we need. For us to really see justice, we need to see a conviction. Reporter one other topic we heard a lot about out here today was the curfew tonight, entering its fifth night and its first full weekend night. People here today said they are ready to see the curfew lifted and for the National Guard to go home. Garrett, thanks for that. Some marchers hit the streets earlier this morning. More than 200 young people took to the streets at ground zero in west baltimore to make their voices heard. John henry joins us from pennsylvania and north, at the site of the cvs that burned down. That march brought that intersection to a standstill. Reporter thats correct. It was shut down for about 20 minutes. It was a lot like what youre seeing right now behind me. Protesters got here about 15 minutes ago. They have once again closed down this intersection. But that protest would happen earlier this morning. It was smaller, but certainly highlighted the younger baltimore residents who have kicked off this Massive Movement for change. Baltimore is a city finding itself. Are you ready to march for peace . Reporter but its clear the baltimore we see today is not the baltimore for tomorrow. The youth of baltimore stood up and showed the world that we will demand change. Reporter in the weeks following freddie grays death, young people in baltimore have worked to change policing and politics, and protest has been their main tool. This crowd marched from the gilmore homes in west baltimore to city hall saturday, asserting their goal would be achieved. Freddie gray brought together all classes, all creeds. No races Reporter College stay tuned julia made the trip up from dc for the march. She pointed to the countrys past as proof the change young people can bring about. College students have always been sort of the heart of protest movements. I was born and raised in baltimore. Reporter 60yearold jodyy schmitz said he was happy he could see it with his own eyes. I was 14 years old when the riots happened in 1968. I remember looking on the news and wishing i could have been a part of it then. Reporter recent developments out of the States Attorneys Office have given hope as well. In the end, they still feel for any change to happen in baltimore, young people must be committed to fighting for it first. The next generation is now. Im a part of that now generation. Reporter now, you can see atop of us right now, our Helicopter Shot here of the intersection of pennsylvania and north and what it looks like. There are a lot of people here right now. But we havent seen any real issues or any arrests, just like with that protest we were telling you about this morning. That was also peaceful. John henry, wusa 9. Thank you, john. The officers charged in freddie grays death ranged from a lieutenant with a history of Mental Health issues to a young officer the same age as gray who grew up in a struggling baltimore neighborhood. Scott broom is looking into the backgrounds of all the officers now charged. Scott, what have you learned for us tonight . Reporter well, youve got officers here, African American officers, white officers, men, a woman, veterans, also have some relatively inexperienced officers. This is a group of officers thats just a Cross Section of the Baltimore City Police Department and the region. They range in age from 25 to 45 and come from both the city of baltimore and its surrounding counties. The most serious charges filed against 45yearold caesar goodson, the driver of the Police Transport wagon, where freddie gray was loaded head first, hog tied on his belly, unsecured, so his body could slide uncontrolled forward into the steel walls. Goodson, accused of failing at five chances to secure gray and ignoring his pleas for a medic. One reluctant neighborhood called goodson good people. He spent a lot of time with his family and children, fixing cars as a sideline. His grandfather was a Police Officer. 41yearold lieutenant brian rice is the highest ranking officer in the freddie gray case. Rice once rescued a toddler from a burning home, but in 2012, authorities in carroll county, maryland seized his guns and took him to a hospital for an evaluation after a girlfriend reported he made disturbing statements. By contrast, William Porter at age 25 was the least experienced officer, charged after checking gray in the wagon and failing to call for a medic. Porter grew up and lived in a troubled baltimore neighborhood, but was known as a straight arrow, a neighbor stunned by the charges. I dont know a lot about his involvement, but sounded like he may have been kind of caught up in the wrong place at the wrong time. He seemed like a really nice guy. I dont know. Its really unfortunate, what happened. Reporter Police Officer garrett miller, who lives north of baltimore near the pennsylvania border, is 26. He was one of the bicycle officers that arrested gray. It was miller who filled out the paperwork for the arrest that prosecutors say was illegal. Miller claiming gray was carrying a switchblade. Prosecutors say the knife was a perfectly legal folding blade and there was no probable cause for grays arrest in the first place. No crime had been committed by mr. Gray. Reporter edward near row, age 29, was the other bicycle officer, new jersey native and former volunteer firefighter there. The resident of bel air held gray down while waiting for the transport van. Sergeant alicia white had just been promoted to her rank and was investigating two citizen complaints about grays arrest when she is accused of seeing gray unresponsive in the van at one stop and doing nothing about it. All of the officers have already posted bails of between 250 and 350,000, all of them free on those bails, awaiting their Upcoming Court dates. Reporting live in baltimore, scott broom, wusa 9. Scott, thanks. All of this, of course, started with the arrest of freddie gray. Now that infamous cell phone video of him being dragged into a police van. Blaine alexander is standing by live. She talked to the men who saw this start rolling in the first place. Blaine . Reporter it was right here in this area that freddie gray was arrested. You can see the balloons marking the spot. In the past few weeks, we have seen the video on tv stations around the country, hundreds and hundreds of times. That is because of a man named kevin moore who whipped out a cell phone, a smartphone similar to this one and hit record. Now, i caught up with kevin moore earlier this afternoon. He told me that he and freddie gray were friends and he says on that day, he actually heard the commotion outside and came outside to see what was going on. I asked him what it was that caught him to pull out his smartphone and start rolling. Heres what he told me. This is before i knew it was freddie. They had him pinned down and i heard the screams and the screams were something like, something out of a horror movie. You know what i mean . I was, like, wow, that is a genuine scream. Somebody is in pain. You know what i mean . I know if i was in that situation and that i was in that predicament, that i would want somebody to do the same for me. Reporter now, back here live, you can see right here an artwork has popped up on the side of the building, a tribute to freddie gray. Near this area we saw a Neighborhood Group just wrapping up serving lunches to people who live here in this community. Again, when i spoke with kevin moore this afternoon, he told me that he never believed, he never imagined that video that he shot would spark all of this that weve seen going on in baltimore over the past week.
