washington acting like it s okay to abandon cities. i m hoping that we will come to the realization in washington that we re all in this boat together and we re either going to rise together or we re going to fall together. but we re in the boat together now. in the neighborhood where freddie gray was arrested there s a new police commander in charge. she granted me a rare interview. next. if you look at me, you re going to make some natural assumptions about sheree. are you not? you re going to think she s been here 21 years, almost 22 years, she doesn t understand what it s like. she doesn t know. yes, i do understand what it s like. i m back. aleve pm for a better am.
