There have been many protestsers on the street today. As Community Leaders try to keep the peace, its a far cry from the rock throwing, the looting the burning thats shaken baltimore to its corps. But darkness is just a couple of hours away and the city remains very tense right now. Authorities are taking no chances. Theyll impose an overnight curfew. Our correspondents analysts and guests are standing by with all of the late breaking developments. But lets begin on the streets of baltimore. For the latest brian todd is standing by. Brian . Reporter wolf this has turned into a very dynamic street protest here. It started over here on the corner of north avenue and pennsylvania avenue. This is one of the flash points where a lot of the violence the looting and the burning took place last night. The protesters start there had and just walked ending here converging chanting support for freddie gray. So far its been mostly peaceful. Many of the protesters are determined to keep it that way wu all eyes are going to be on this neighborhood once darkness descends in a couple of hours. A city on the ray zoshs edge of tension tonight. A daytime street demonstration boils over when one vocal protester is detained by police. Baltimore police are called in reinforcements from other Law Enforcement agencies and the National Guard as they prepare for what comes next. We have the ability to respond quickly to incidents of lawlessness that take place. Tonight, anxiety over what will 457 when darkness descends on the neighborhoods and a curfew takes into effect. Last night rioter took over the streets throwing rocks and other objects at police. At least 20 officers were injured, more than 100 cars and at least 19 structures burned in the mayhem. One car sped past or cameras separating for a police line stopping just feet from the officers and narrowly escaping a police van that tried to cut it off. This man said he wasnt looting but understood why others are rioting. People are tired of being pushed. Thats what all of this is people fighting back. Hundreds were arrested. This mother might have saved her son from that fate after she caught him rioting, she smacked him on the head and dragged him away. In the aftermath many in these neighborhoods try to clean up and absorbed what theyve lost. They shattered the windows, came inside and broke inside the atm machine. It was a whole atm machine that was fully functioning that we found around the corner. Broke in. All of the money gone. Its actually ripped to pieces. Con stance lee is disrespondent. I didnt sleep at all last night. Its hard to take it all in. Looking at these people smiling and laughing thinking its all okay. Is not okay. You dont know what we go through to try to keep our doors open. Reporter and back at the protests these people have just gone down on their knees in support of freddie gray. Theres a speaker over here exhorting them to march in peace. Were going to see where the demonstration goes. Like last night, wolf we were never sure where the marchers were going to go when they were going there and where some pockets of violence would pop up. Whats going on brian, behind you . Reporter well its a street march, wolf. It started over here at northern pennsylvania moved six or seven blocks around the block and these people are congregateing here to listen to this gentleman with a bull horn speaking in support of freddie gray, exhorting people to march in support of freddie gray. There was some tear gas fired over here a couple of hours ago. That was a fairly minor incident with police. There was a man detained just over here earlier. And that agitated this crowd. When there is interaction with the police the crowd does get agitated. As we saw last week and of course as we saw last night. Thats what were watching for all evening tonight, wolf. So far this demonstration as of this hour has been mostly peaceful. And brian, so right now it looks peaceful. I hope it stays that way. But police are there, theyre on the scene if it doesnt remain peaceful right . Reporter thats right. They are less than a block behind us. We cant really get a shot because theyre behind this crowd here. Theyre to the right of where chris is shooting. And theres a line of students that got between the crowd and the police. And i asked them why they were there. They said just to make sure that theres no friction between the police and the demonstrators. You do have people in the crowd policing the crowd. This is what we saw last week as well. We did not see that last night. So a key question tonight as darkness descends and the curfew takes effect are these crowds going to be able to police themselves . Again wolf we saw it often last week and it was peaceful and these people are to be commended for it. All eyes are on tonight when darkness descends in three hours. Be careful over there. Well stay in close touch with you. Brian todd on the streets of baltimore were us right in the middle of the latest demonstration. So far peaceful. Our justice reporter evan perez is getting new information into the investigation of the death of freddie gray the 25yearold man who was in police kus dis, wound up with a broken neck in Police Custody and died a few days later. Evan what are you hearing . I dont think evan is hearing us right now. Were going to try to reconnect. I can report to our viewers what evan perez has learned, that Baltimore Police are planning on presenting their report to the prosecutors on the death of freddie gray this coming friday. Baltimore police getting ready to make their presentation to prosecutors on the circumstances leading up to freddie days death this friday. Let me check back with evan perez to see if hes hearing me now. Evan, can you hear me . Reporter i can hear you now. As you just mentioned, the Police Department says theyre still planning to meet their deadline of friday to turn over their investigative report to the state Attorneys Office. The state Attorneys Office is going to make the ultimate decision as to whether or not there will be charges in this case. You talk to people on the street theyre expecting charges on friday. So thats one of the issues that the authorities are now going to be facing. Theres going to be an expectation on the streets of something that is not going to happen. That the state Attorneys Office is still going to be reviewing the case before making a final decision. Basically theyre going to make their report available in confidence in secret lets say, to the state prosecutors. They then will spend some time reviewing all of this before they decide if any of those six Police Officers who were involved in freddie grays arrest will in fact be charged. Is that right . Reporter thats right, wolf. Thats right. Theyre going to spend some time reviewing the case. And the police say that theyre not done with the case. Even though theyre going to present preliminary report to the state Attorneys Office with evidence of what they found so far, they say the case is not going to be done. Its going to take some more time some more work on their part to finish this up. All right. Evan where are you in baltimore right snow . Is it quiet . It is lively . Whats going on . Reporter its relatively quiet here wolf. We are in front of city hall. Theres a big Police Presence here. Just a little while ago i was over at the scene there at north avenue and pennsylvania avenue and you know theres a lot of tension there because, you know, while you have a lot of Peaceful Protesters there are a few agitators, people who are very angry and at any moment you can sense that things can go the wheels can come off. Theres a few times you see the police reaching in with their batons with their shields grabbing people and putting them back. Theyre detaining them because of the fear that those people would agitate the crowd and cause bigger problems. I heard from one Law Enforcement officer that someone was trying to set another fire at that cvs right there. So people were trying to set another flame, another fire at a place that had already burned down where people were trying to clean up earlier today. Theres a lot of anger as we can see on the streets of baltimore right now. Evan perez, thanks very much. Were standing by for a News Conference of stephanie rawlingsblake the mayor of baltimore expected to hold a conference shortly. And later were expecting to hear from the governor of maryland larry hogan. Lots of live events coming up as we cover the breaking news of baltimore. I want to go to cnns Miguel Marquez on the streets of baltimore. He was there 24 hours ago during the worst of the rioting. Hes back on the scene with us right now. Whats it like where you are, miguel . Reporter this is the epi center of the anger from last night. When you and i were talking last night and that hose was cut, that was right down the street here about 50 60 feet away. The mood here is much different. I want to show you whats going on. This is north avenue. A major avenue here. You have the police keeping anybody from going down there. A couple blocks down there is where freddie gray was arrested. A very symbolic place here. There are a lot of protesters yelling at the police here but in an organized way. They have a bull horn that they allow the protesters to have so they can yell directly at the police. On the other side its become almost a street party. So the mood here is much much different today. But it does become scuffles at times. People get too heated at times and things take off. I tell you that a large number of people just went up this street. Theyre trying to organize individuals to help clean up the area here. All of that is going on at the same time. It is a range of emotions after the anger that we saw last night. And i can tell you after spending so many days in this neighborhood what we saw last night was the manifestation of years and years of anger with freddie gray as the lynch pin to all of it just unleashing it and the job now for the baltimore pd and the Baltimore Mayor and this state is to put it back in a box. And i am not sure that theyre going to be able to do that very soon. Once again momentarily well be hearing from we believe the mayor, stephanie rawlingsblake the captain, the police spokesman, Eric Kowalczyk. Well have live coverage of that. Youve been there for days. Are these the same people who show up every day or are there new faces in the crowd . Reporter there are a lot of new faces. People from across baltimore have descended on west baltimore today to help clean up to give it a new vitality. The music, its actually too cool. Let me let you listen to it for a second. All impromptu. And everybody who comes here will quickly tell you about the issues that they have with the police whether it was to themselves or to their brother or to their cousin or to their wife or to their mother. It goes on and on. There is long standing resentment between individuals here and police. So in some ways every brick and botment bottle that was thrown was a personal act by the person doing it. It sounds a lot different than it did yesterday. But as we all know just a few individuals can ruin what is so far at least right now very peaceful loud but peaceful demonstration on the streets of baltimore. Once again were awaiting the mayor of baltimore, receive any rawlingsblake and the spokesman for the Baltimore Police department captain Eric Kowalczyk. We expect them to be speaking to reporters momentarily. Mark morially is joining us right now. Is there anything major you want to hear the mayor say right snow. I think the mayor has to demonstrate a path forward, wolf. Shes got to ensure that she has a plan in place to ensure that the kind of disruption and looth doesnt occur while at the same time protecting the rights of the protesters to protest. Shes got to articulate the details forward to deal with the underlying issues. Miguel talked about them. Theyre related to the land standing issue between the police and the community in baltimore, to relate it to the lack of opportunity and high unemployment in baltimore. These issues have melded and merged and the reaction we see is a result of pent up feelings. Too many people are being left behind. Were waiting for the mayor, the spokesman for the Police Department. If i interrupt you, you will understand why. Certainly. I saw a quote that jumped out at me. You were quoted by a reporter in the News Conference that the president had in the rose garden today. Earlier you said and the reporter quoted this the u. S. Your words, is in a state of emergency of tremendous proportions. We are in the throes of a national crisis. Explain what you meant. So lets look at the facts, wolf. 12 high profile incidents in an 18 month period. Almost 20 Police Departments under a federal decent decree under investigation or pattern and practice violations of citizens civil rights combined with in most major city in america, a black Unemployment Rate that exceeds 15 and in some cities 20 . When you take all of these things together it says national crisis. It says state of emergency. It says that we must take steps to fix these issues to confront these challenges or baltimore today could be someone elses hometown. Last year people asked was ferguson an aberration. I think we understand that today ferguson was not a aberration. I said there are many fergusons in america. Baltimore is one of americas largest cities. Its the home of the Johns Hopkins medical school and complex. It needs economic activity. It needs job creation. It needs to create hope for young men, hope for young people that theres a way out. And when yaw have that and its combined with Police Community tension, i think its a National State of emergency and a crisis of significant proportions, wolf. I want to tell our viewers and you what were seeing right now. Shes sort of hidden but thats the mayor behind those people. Mayor stephanie rawlingsblake. Shes got a baseball cap on. Looks like an underarmor baseball cap. Shes wearing right now. The founder of under armor from baltimore. Wes going to be making a statement and presumably answering reporters questions and either the Police Commissioner or the spokesman for the Police Department. Heres the mayor. Shes about to speak. I want all of ou viewer to listen in. This is the mayor of baltimore, stephanie rawlingsblake. Lets listen in. Good afternoon or early evening. All right. Were getting started. Simmer down now. All right. Good evening, everyone. Thank you for being here. Last night was a very rough period for our city. But today i think we saw a lot more of what baltimore is about. We saw people coming together to reclaim our city to clean our city and to help heal our city. I think this can be our defining moment not the darkest days that we saw yesterday. I spent the morning talking to residents. I visited along north avenue where residents were cleaning up and tried to give comfort to people who know that their lives are going to be disrupted in major ways for a long time does of the damage that was done to their community. I saw the damage that was done to Mondawmin Mall and it breaks my heart. Those of us from baltimore know how hard we fought for those resources and those stores, to bring good quality products and items to our community and to have those those stores destroyed, mom and pop kiosks destroyed senselessly. They are working to recover. I also visited lexington market where vendors are desperately trying to get back to normal. And dealing with the damage that was done as well. I want to sincerely thank the Baltimore CityPolice Department and i want to thank all of our Law Enforcement departments who we have had in our city over the past week. Commissioner youre going to have to give all of the counties who have been here because i cant remember. I know that several counties in maryland they have sent us resources over the past week and they have been extremely supportive and im very grateful for that. Im trying to think if i missed anything. And i also i should have started here but ill end here. I want to thank the members of the community. Not just the ones you see behind me but the ones that you havent seen or wont see that have spent all day yesterday, all day today trying to figure out how we can come together as a city. How we can heal. We have churches that are opening themselves up to be a sanctuary and a refuge giving young people who are out of school a place to go and something to eat. We have you know so many in our community who are looking for ways to come together to heal. I want to thank all of them and give a few Community Members an opportunity to give remarks. The first i would like to ask Mark Washington of the Homestead Development community. Mark. Hi. My name is mark aug. Im executive director of the homestead month bello. While we stand here as a group of Community Leaders and representatives, what i want everyone to know is that we stand united as one baltimore. We hear the cries, the frustratio
