either something criminal happened or it was just a routine -- or a routine arrest. look there's tens of thousands of arrests in baltimore, most of them go fine, this one didn't. the fact that the van stopped, i don't know what to make of that. and the other prisoner who was in the van, the one interviewed by wbal he doesn't clear up the -- he says it was a smooth ride. obviously something happened. we still don't know what. >> yeah. and you know the fact that freddie gray wasn't secured in the van, that's an unusual thing, right? there are some protocols that officials have to follow when they are transporting someone in a police vehicle to the police station. >> look, one of the cardinal rules of policing is that the prisoner is your responsibility. so unfortunately, in some ways it doesn't matter -- it would matter for criminal intent but it doesn't matter what happened in the van. the guy came in alive and he
the mid-atlantic region. we have 5,000 national guard coming. >> why didn't that happen on saturday after there was so much chaos on saturday? when the emergency order was had been signed why didn't that happen on saturday? >> it wasn't signed until today when the mayor requested -- >> your office said it was signed. >> no it was just signed -- >> so that's inaccurate. >> we've been standing by in preparation just in case the violence escalated, which it did. when the mayor called we activated. >> i have to ask again, why was this not in place saturday or sunday when the situation began? >> i don't know how many times we can tell you, but we can't activate until we've been asked to come in. the mayor and the city are in charge. they believe they were taking the appropriate actions. when they asked us to come in we came in. >> we will bring order. we will do it collaboratively. i am determined that this darkest day will not define our city. we will have order. we will have control. and those individuals who we've caught on camera destroying our city will be brought to justice.
who are interested in doing good and you can't conflate those two groups of people. >> charles, i got to cut you off. i understand that. we'll continue that. the gray family is speaking right now, so i want to get to them. let's listen in to that. >> come on you can do this. >> my name is frederica gray. his twin. i don't agree with the violence for the city. it's too much. i don't think all that's for freddie. i think they doing all that for something else. the violence is wrong and freddie gray wasn't that type of person to break into stores. i don't like it at all. >> let's respect the second story's desire not to really interact she's too upset about it. >> now do you have any questions and i'll take three.
aspect. but what needs to be done in terms of community policing to make sure there's sort of a countereffort online to sort of combat those messages that are going out? >> well one thing that can happen hopefully is that local government there in the police department can jump in on social media, give some direction, some leadership as to what needs to happen need not to happen. but i think very importantly i will say too as well that here again that city needs an opportunity to recapture, regain itself. and police having an opportunity to do that during this curfew will allow them a chance to do exactly that. that's to catch a breath. but here's the thing i have to point out. there is no playbook to this. if you look at what happened last night, and i'm looking at it from a thousand miles away but if you look at what happened last night, what you're also seeing is some strategic movements that were made by young people in and around that
to come home back to ohio and to be shown a blank death certificate and to hear the words that you know john and jim when john dies ohio will say he's single. and they will not list your name in that field as the surviving spouse. it was heartbreaking. and for us it was a very easy decision to say this isn't right, this isn't something we should stand for. and it isn't something anyone else should stand for. it was a very easy decision for us to stand up and say we won't take this. >> you've become the poster child for it. and you do it very well i must add. chad so we know the opponents are going to argue that and have argued for a long time that this issue of gay marriage should be left up to the states. 36 states and washington, d.c. currently allow for same-sex marriage. but why for you is it unacceptable that the idea of leaving it up to the states to decide? >> because at the end of the day
standdown, that is something you wanted? >> of course not. i think baltimore really underestimated this was going to happen. i think based on what's happened and i've been on the ground out every day since last sunday when mr. gray first passed and i've been in the community where it happened. most of the rallying was right there concentrated between the police station in west baltimore up to the spot where he was apprehended by the police. so i think that people still thought the mayor and the police i can't say what they thought, but i'm saying based on where we've been for the past six days, it was contained in that area. and that area. so i don't think even with what they thought they heard is they thought people was going to be all up in that area not west baltimore and then proceed down pennsylvania avenue and looting. i think they figured that the children and whoever wanted to participate and rally would come back to the community because that's where it had all been stationed for five days. so this was completely something that wasn't expected. >> from the onset it wasn't about protests. i didn't see any of it yesterday. we saw only what we don't want
their son, their brother, their friend to rest. they have been quick to denounce this violence. family members say he never would have wanted this. >> earlier today we had a beautiful service and to see that it turned into all this violence and destruction, i am really appalled. family i love you and we are supposed to be in this for justice, but is it just us? >> freddie gray wasn't that type of person to broke into stores. i don't like it at all. >> 40 miles away in washington loretta lynch faced the crisis in baltimore hours after her swearing in. after an evening meeting with president obama, lynch issued a statement saying i condemn the senseless acts of violence by some individuals in baltimore that resulted in harm to law enforcement officers and destruction of property and shattering of peace in baltimore. i will bring resources to the department of justice to bear
