For a day of prayer and peace after a tumultuous week. Those riots on monday. A mother showing her son some very tough love. That surreal scene wednesday. Orioles playing the white sox. Not a single fan in the stands. And on friday state attorney Marlin Mosley six officers charged for the death of freddie gray. Sparking a National Conversation on crime. We begin in baltimore with abcs jim avila. Good morning, jim. Reporter the protests and marches continue here. Some large in size. Mostly peaceful. The real trouble coming mostly at night at curfew time overnight a curfew still in more protests and baltimores Police Commissioner saying hell wait for the investigation to proceed. Now we have the confidence that the truth will come out and the truth will overcome for all. Reporter all of it sparked when baltimore stunned itself and the nation. Its youngest chief prosecutor in the country announced that she wants to put six of her Police Officers in prison for killing a poor black man. To the people of baltimore and demonstrators across america i heard your call for no justice, no peace. The city that went from riots on monday to celebrations by friday this is what democracy looks like. Reporter is patting itself on the back for standing up to what many see as an epidemic of Police Brutality. What is marching going to do . Marching got us to this point. Reporter the six officers, three white and three black accused of loading freddie gray cuffed and shackled face down into a police van leading to his death following an illegal arrest are free on bail and will appear in court on may 27th. Their Police Union Says they did no wrong and accused the states attorney of a political prosecution designed to quell the unrest rather than seek justice. We are disappointed in the rush to judgment given the fact the investigation has not been concluded. Reporter the union wants a special prosecutors appointed but she says shes from a police family. Both parents were on the force and she told me her office will not give up the case. My job as a prosecutor is to follow and uphold the law and that means equally applying justice to those with or without a badge. Reporter another protest scheduled for this afternoon. Baltimore authorities are reluctant to lift the curfew until theyre sure the city is safe and secure. Until then, the National Guard will remain on post and the state of emergency remains in effect. George . Jim, thanks. Our next guest has been marching in baltimore streets all week long. Congressman Elijah Cummings on thursday night. His west baltimore district, ground zero from this crisis. He joins us from city hall. Thank you so much for joining us this morning. What is the result of this week . I think we did pretty good. It was a very unfortunate incident with freddie gray, a young man who had died a very tragic death but as far as baltimore is concerned, i thought initially we had a lot of problems on monday, but i think overall its been a lot of peaceful protests and thats a good thing. As you know, those six officers are fighting the charges. We saw the head of the police union call it a rush to judgment. Are you confident these charges are going to lead to convictions and will we see new unrest if we dont . I feel very comfortable with regard to what ms. Mosley has done. She is a veteran prosecutor. Shes a young lady who has spent a lot of time addressing these kinds of issues and she is her integrity is impeccable without a doubt and i think she made the best decision she could. She looked at all the evidence and did what she had to do. What has to happen . You said members of Congress Said theyre worried their city is next. What can you do to prevent that . Well, one of the things we have got to do is we have got to invest in our cities and our children. A lot of young people feel that they have been disconnected and we have to have what i call a inclusion revolution. And address issues such as joblessness and training for young people. And we also have to look at our Police Department very carefully. We need to have an up and down look at it. And address it and be honest and address it in an effective way. A lot of us were struck by the cover of Time Magazine this week. It showed the city of baltimore striking out america 1968 and 2015. A lot of people say baltimore never recovered from the riots in 1968. What is it going to take to recover this time . Its going to take all of us, everybody from the president , the governor, all of us, the legislators and were going to have the Business Community and foundations. George, i can tell you people are already rallying trying to address these problems. And then again, were going to have to go back and make sure that we listen to our children. I feel their pain. Just the other day a young man told me he said, mr. Cummings i feel like im in my coffin trying to claw out of it. Thats not the way we want our children to feel. Boy, that is for sure. Thank you. The death of freddie gray, the latest example of what president obama called americas slow rolling crisis in the way police engage africanamericans. Pierre thomas went on the beat with police to examine whats happening now and what needs to change. Reporter the searing images, ferguson. A 12yearold boy shot and killed by police in cleveland. Eric goners death. I cant breathe and that Fatal Police Shooting of walter scott in South Carolina. And now baltimore. Ah a steady stream of events stoking a growing national movement. An intense debate about race and policing. With each case the intensity grows and the unsettling truth is that a toxic cocktail of factors that led to an arrest in baltimore exists in cities across the country. No racist police. High unemployment, high poverty and crime and mistrust between minorities and the police that serve them. All it takes is one controversial encounter between a Police Officer and africanamerican male to spark a firestorm of emotion and accusations. I think were seeing a paradigm shift. Its going to take a long time for us to rebuild from the distrust thats going on right now. People are thinking thats what we do right away, reach for our guns and start shooting when thats not the fact at all. The citizens are focusing on the negative which is a very, very small minority. Evy theres millions of encounters between police and citizens that go well. We spent time with officers in washington, 40 miles from baltimore. They say some of the issues between minorities and police run deep. The Police Department is getting blamed through the historic lens through which black people view police in particular. And today because police are agrif in in neighborhoods, the mistrust builds. Theyre not seeing us as normal human beings and just like them but have a tough job to do. Right now Better Technology including expanded use of body cameras by police and improved training of Law Enforcement on use of force are keys to reducing encounters that end badly. On both sides we need to listen to each other. Get out of the car, interact with the citizens and let them interact with you. Pierre thomas joins us now. Hes here along with dan abrams, our legal analyst and the former new york city Police Commissioner. Dan, these six charges came a lot faster than people expected on friday. More often than not, these Police Brutality cases end in acquittals. Yeah i think theyre going to have some issues with some of the charges. You have to look at each officers actions separately. You cant say theres six officers, were going to review all together. For example, i think theres been some overreaching on the part of the prosecutor based on the facts as she laid them out. With regard to two of the officers. Charged with manslaughter why . Because they arrive later and dont do enough. Thats going to be a tough conviction for manslaughter. The Second Degree murder charge for the driver going to be tough. Let me stop you there. This is a pretty serious charge. The most serious charge, Second Degree depraved heart murder. What does that mean . It means we think hes more indifferent, took action and didnt care at all. Theres no sort of firm legal line where you cross from manslaughter. To depraved murder. Neither one requires specific intent. It says we think this one is so much worse. The reason she thinks its worse is because he had opportunity after opportunity with each stop to end this. Heres the one i dont understand. I dont understand false imprisonment for the two arresting officers. But manslaughter . I would argue i think that the initial officers if they falsely arrested, if they had no evidence, i think theres an argument that theyre more than someone on the scene later. Takes a look at him and doesnt take action. One of the officers not charged with manslaughter. Ray, these charges are more likely to stick if officers turn on each other. But thats rare. It is rare. Its unlikely. They see it as not necessarily in their advantage. Now maybe an argument can be made for one or two in this case. My sense is that its not going to happen. The case is perceived as being weak. I think youre not going to see that much cooperation. You think its weak across the board . I think thats the general view of the case. Certainly by the Law Enforcement people that ive spoken to. How about the general issue of these Police Departments and the need for reform . You were on just a few weeks ago after that South Carolina shootings. You turned around body cameras. What are Police Departments going to have to do to get the trust back . Theres a lot of soul searching by chiefs throughout the country. I believe the police are more professional educated, better trained and more diverse than ever. These events totally can turn that around. We made great progress in the last two decades. Really starting from scratch. In a lot of places. I also believe that cameras will make a big difference. They will help. Theyre going to help. Moving in that direction. I think will increase the trust and Comfort Level over time. You agree with that . Body cameras are being used by Police Departments. They know they have to show the public what theyre doing. Also think theres going to have to be more training in terms of when to use Excessive Force and i think the Police Departments are going to have to take a look in the mirror and say they have to purge rogue officers, that these incidents, when shown on tape, are having a huge impact in terms of perception of police. Theyre going to have to deal with that. Brand new attorney general on the case loretta lynch. Expecting anything new from them . Well, the Civil Rights Division is investigating this case too see what happened. Theres calls for an investigation of the entire baltimore Police Department. I think you will see the president continue to speak about this. The fundamental issue is the pain and poverty in these communities. One of the statistics that struck me most, between 2010 and 2013 nearly 900 murders. Some years half werent solved. You cannot continue to have People Living in that condition and expect anything other than what youre seeing. And 17 other shootings unrelated to the protests. Thank you all very much. We want to go to congressman tim scott. Republican of South Carolina. Thank you very much for joining us. Your own state has been rocked by the shooting of walter scott last month. Is it time for a National Response to these issues . Certainly think that Law Enforcement is a local issue. The question is can we weigh in for the National Level and provide resources. I think body cameras lead us in the right direction. I say that because according to at least one study in 90 drop in complaints against Police Officers and a 60 drop in the use of force. I think it helps the officer do their jobs better and keeps the officer safe and at the same time helps to keep the communities safe as well. I think a part of the National Opportunity for us to provide resources is there. I would be very careful for the federal level to start figuring out how to have local policing. So we just heard the congressman talk about inclusion revolution. More federal investment. Ready to sign up for that . I have been working for the last three years on the opportunity agenda. Focuses on the power of education. I was once that kid that were talking about drifting in the wrong direction, flunking out of high school. I found my way through the power of education and faith. I will tell you if we focus on first and foremost educational opportunities. If you look at the statistics surrounding Educational Achievement and the communities in most distress, what youll find is that high levels of High School Dropouts which leads to high levels of unemployment which leads to higher levels of hopelessness. There is a trend that can be broken at its foundation if we focus first on education and then second, on work skills. Second part of the opportunity that i had been proposing for the last three years is to focus on apprenticeship programs. Myself and cory booker from new jersey have created a bill on apprenticeship programs. Earn while you learn. We can provide open opportunity in communities by helping folks get a better education which may include School Choice and skills for the work force. Theres this growing middle skills need in the work force where you need more than a high school education, less than a College Degree and you can earn a very strong income providing resources and opportunities in middle skill opportunity area. You have seen bipartisan calls for criminal justice reform. More drug treatment. Hillary clinton called for the end of the era of mass incarceration this week. Can you sign on to that . I have been a part of the working group from bobby scott in the house, to cory booker. Lindsey graham and the senate. We have been working for the last several months on different proposals. Im engaged in studying the patterns of who we incarcerate and why and what we can do about it. Were open to it and the governors have done a fabulous job according to folks on the left leading the way for criminal justice reform. Thanks for your time this morning.
