How would you respond to that resident? >> well i would just say that the best thing to do is to get yourself involved in an organization that is working in your community. you know its enough that we have a lot of sideline type of commentators but at this point we need folks to be intimately involved in the movement. >> i am talking about the white residents of the city of baltimore wondering what -- >> thats what i am talking about. >> okay. >> you have whether its piece by piece, and we were ...

Out of black elected officials and do you think people in the community should expect more out of black elected officials? >> we were absolutely honored to have attorney general lynch too come and lend support and lending ear to whats taking place across america. its important for elected officials in baltimore and those who are african-american to take more of an obltive and sub stan live look at whats happening in our cities. its not time for optics but take advantage of the opportunities that...
