going back and redoing these things but i think at this time it is the appropriate action to give the people of baltimore some necessary needed relief and freedom. >> one of the conversations here that was had on the ground, mark, was there is no playbook for this. it was also mentioned on our air today here on msnbc, there's no playbook necessarily about how to handle widespread or community wide unrest. we've seen it in baltimore starting last weekend and then certainly on monday of last week. we saw in ferguson as well. given that there's no lay book, if you will, from a law enforcement perspective or city management perspective, where does one as a leader of a city get the best practices to handle this the right way? so many criticisms have been made about did they make the right decision, was it the right timing. then on the flip side we go back to there's no playbook, necessarily. >> i tell you, richard, i believe there are several play books.
