Seems like a blatant disregard for human life. >> i think whats happening on the sidewalks is a lightning rod to bring tlieth a much bigger problem in our justice system. there are so many things that are behind the times on the way that we have high level of incarcerations even when they commit the same crime as their white counter parts, seven times s more likely. weve known these stats for a long time and we need to not just look at the sidewalk but the internal justice system. >> youre going...

Throw away the key. no questions asked. why do we have to beg the system for something they owe us? >> you agree with that. >> if you look at every since anyone that has been out here continuously since the announcement was made, actually the military presence has increased in baltimore city. up and down north avenue thousands and thousands of concerned residents are marching peacefully. we have the older generation crying on the sidewalks, as theyre encouraging the youth to march. the police ar...

Walking through the city for about an hour and hour and a half. >> it was a jubilant crowd. somewhat defiant. some of the messages were defiant. it was peaceful the whole way, and people on the sidewalks were expressing their solidarity even if they werent willing or able to join. as you said, there are several thousand people here at city hall. you can see many rallies this week in baltimore, but this is by far the largest one that i have seen this week in baltimore. im joined by one of the fol...

>> i think it really is. they come into this with some real tactics in mind. i have to say the tactics weve seen have been pretty impressive. they are trying to find creative ways to not be confrontational. as i mentioned, we were observing them walking among the protesters who were hanging out in the middle of this intersection as the curfew approached. they were not pushing them back from the intersection. they did not want to be confrontational. they were looking for protest leaders to take t...

To give a softer look and again, the police being extremely conscious of whats gone on and they are paying attention to the dynamics of this neighborhood and thats why theyre doing this. theyre lining the sidewalks, theyre not in the middle not being confrontational and i can tell you last night, in the middle of the curfew the police got out of here fairly quickly and it was eerily quiet and empty. so, this was the shifting dynamic of police shifting their tactics tonight to give a softer look ...

And about five minutes into the protest here, we saw about the police were in a line, and there was a major clash with the protesters here. and there have been several arrests made. we have seen several people hauled to the ground. i was trampled on the ground while we were in the middle of the streets. please make clear that they did want to see anyone blocking major roadways. they did not want to see anyone blocking the sidewalks. they have been pushing people out on to the sidewalk. but for r...
