The larger community. today, this evening, hes discourage the by what they see. theyre upset about it. it is not what the family wants. it is not what the family needs. it isnt this family and so theyre begging everyone to show restraint. stop the looting, get back home. dont get involved in this negative behavior. and by the way, wolf for what its worth as you all train in and i understand why you do it on the hot spots, i was touring the rest of west baltimore around that area and the streets ...

Being looted and a cvs farmly and grocery store going on for several city blocks and this is not what the freddie gray family wanted, is it? >> no absolutely not and what they also dont want it to do is spread and the news media has to be extraordinarily careful that by constantly showing these small pockets of violence theyre not unintentionally encouraging other kids to join in. these kids are bored. they have nothing to do. they have few recreational facilities. the education system has faile...

Targeted. im not sure if the intelligence was specifically about this protest, this demonstration, this riot, or about violence from gangs, also a report that the baltimore police department had heard they would be targeted by gangs, by crips and bloods uniting to attack police. im going to go right now if i can, to billy murphy who is antarian for freddie grays family. mr. murphy, thanks for joining us. this violence that were seeing right now and that we saw on saturday night, sunday morning, ...

Peace. before they saw us they were chanting it. so it wasnt like they were just doing it for the cameras. they were saying no justice no peace. they were smiling, having a good time. kind of lets go have some fun kind of thing. not realizing this this could turn ugly very quickly if either side or the other decides to push it a little too far. and young kids like that could get caught in the middle of it. billy murphy the family attorney was begging people. the mayor, stephanie rawlings blake, ...

Showing, billy, on the right hand upper right hand part are police who have gathered outside of camden yard the home of the baltimore orioles, the major league baseball team. theyre supposed to be a game in about an hour in less than an hour from now, 7:05. as of right now that game is still going forward as scheduled. lets see what happens over the next 45 minutes or so but these police theyve just gathered there with clubs, theyve got their helmets, theyre ready to deal with these rioters, the...

Juveniles, young men mostly throwing what looked like it could be rocks or bottles. thats what the reports are from the ground level. we saw that very clearly. there is a clash. but heres where the disconnect is. this service today, this church service was about freddie gray. >> right. >> reporter: about finding justice. about changing the baltimore police department. and billy murphy the family attorney said that we as a community need to tear down that blue wall of justice, that blue wall of s...

Police officers who havent been brutalizers themselves getting hurt innocently. merchants are getting looted. this is not good. >> these people on the street do not believe that justice is being done here. they do not trust the system. do you? does the family? >> we are patient about getting justice. weve gotten justice before. what we want to do is get into a court of law, which is the only civilized way to solve a problem like this and to solve this dispute about what happened with freddie gra...

Obviously for some of these folks its been anger thats built up for some time. >> its interesting, today at the service, billy murphy, the attorney for the family spoke out in favor of the mayor here. and he said that mayor stephanie rawlings-blake is one of us. shes from this community. her dad has a long history in state and local government very trusted and well known name. and he said that she is on our side but then took it a step further and said she knows what time it is. she knows whats ...

Now, when her nephew passed away, it showed her she was more involved. but now shes less engaged with this and a lot of people are turn eded off by that as well. >> all right. let me interrupt you. i want to bring back in nbcs brian mooar, whos with the gray family attorney who ive known many years, billy murphy. >> billy, reverend al sends his regards. were doing this the old-fashioned way. your thoughts on the situation thats happening, the burning, the looting, the confrontation? >> i hope we...
