Clearly, this is a tragic time for baltimore. And clearly, people are trying to do the best they can. But questions are being raised as to whether the mayor should have reached out to the National Guard earlier. What is your assessment . It is a tragedy. But it is a tragedy that is yet unfolding. And, so secondguessing the mayor doesnt do anything to restore these buildings or to console a grieving people or to bring about healing to a broken and bruised community.

But what we have to do is we have to send a signal that we are going to push relentlessly for a fair transparent investigation. And we will see this through until the very end. We also have to make clear that the individual tragedy is part of a larger narrative in terms of Police Accountability from Staten Island to cleveland, to the naacp is doing specific things. One, today were opening up a satellite office. Two, were reaching out to the community to let young people what to do when they encounter the police. Three, educating people in the kinds of reforms that we need to seek not only in baltimore, not only in the city of maryland but across the country. The point being here this is not only one tragedy. But one in a series of tragedies. And there is much to be done that we have to pursue with vigor. This problem wont be solved with molotov cocktails. Burning businesses and homes and buildings in your own community is like putting a gun to your own head. And the fact of the matter is that rioting and looting doesnt represent flowers or a sympathy card to a grieving family. Weve got to engage in constructive action.
