amy: that is gene ryan, the police union president. dominique stevenson, this likening to a lynch mob. yesterday, you didn't get arrested. you went over the barrier. what is your reaction to the police union president? >> actually, if you look at what happened to freddie gray, he was tried, convicted, and executed. so i resent likening people who are simply protesting in responding to a situation that was extremely unjust in their community to lynch mob. as a person of african descent in understanding the history of lynching in this country, i find that statement offensive. i think people are very frustrated because this is not the first time that this situation has occurred in baltimore. i think people have spent years of seeing the situations occur. people have experienced police brutality on so many levels, whether it is witnessing the mistreatment of loved ones or committed to members or experiencing it firsthand. there were so many people in the community yesterday who are willing to come up and talk about their experiences with t

i understand there's the union and there's the police and you're the police. but do you find that acceptable that the union used those words, lynch mob? >> erin it's not appropriate for me to comment on the opinions of the fraternal order of police. they have an elected president who does that and speaking for them. what we are here to talk about and for us our concern is making sure we're listening to the community, that we have people on the ground able to make contact, listen to the concerns, interact. the police commissioner has been out. we had seen your command out engaging with the crowd. we'll continue to listen to hear that frustration to make sure people have the opportunity to voice their concern and provide them safe ability to do that. >> you're not going to condemn it. let me ask you one final question. the preliminary autopsy you keep citing that shows no bruising shows there was not force used against freddie gray. the family tells us they haven't yet seen that. when are you going to share that with them? >> that's a state issue. it's not in ou

the baltimore police union is firmly backing the six police officers involved in the arrest of freddie gray. the union officials say they have provided these statements five of six officers have provided these statements to investigators. the officers now suspended with pay committed no crime according to the union. gray died after suffering a spinal cord injury that police still cannot explain. baltimore police commissioner anthony batts says another investigator in the police van told investigators nothing happened on the way to jail. >> the second prisoner that was picked up is that he didn't see any harm done to freddie at all. what he has said is that he heard freddie thrashing about. the driver didn't drive erratically. >> the justice department civil rights investigators and the fbi are now gathering evidence for their own investigation. the federal probe would have to prove that the officers intended to deny gray his civil rights. and, alisyn that's a tough case to make as we saw in the shooting of michael brown last year. >> absolutely evan. thanks so much for that background.

the police union lawyer says the officers did not need probable cause to apprehend gray. his decision to flee was enough. >> they pursued mr. gray. they detained him for an investigative stop. had he not have a knife or illegal weapon on him, he would have been released after paper work was done. however, in this case he was in possession of a spring loaded knife which is in violation of maryland law and he was arrested. everyone keeps going back and forth there was no probable cause. in this incident you don't need probable cause to arrest. you need suspicious. >> the officers' lawyer says they did not cause gray's fatal injury. they don't know how it happened. new protests against excessive force are set for today in baltimore. peaceful protests became slightly more than that. wednesday, demonstrators pushed and shoved toward police. our national correspondent miguel marquez is in baltimore with the latest. >> reporter: john this is western district police station. it has become ground zero for protesters as they look for answers in the death of freddie gray. today, his

custody, doesn't explain his severe spinal injury according the baltimore police union. five of the six officers involved, including the arresting officers have been interviewed. the union says gray was not wearing a seat belt and it believes he was injured not during this arrest, but in the van. saying they just don't know how. that is not enough for citizens who are pouring out onto the streets. >> police brutality is at an all-time high and it just needs to stop. >> reporter: gray's mother collapsed, his sister in tears. tension here is nothing new. in just the past four years, nearly $6 million paid out to settle about 100 cases of police misconduct according to the baltimore sun. since last winter the federal government has been investigating the entire department at the request of the mayor, as she says, long before ferguson. >> we have been in the trenches doing this work. >> reporter: but you are getting grouped in with all of those cases. is that a concern? >> i have no concern about how we are being grouped. i have a very serious concern about getting to the bo

arbitrators are at the mercy of the police union. like the great depression, this is one of our legacies from calvin coolidge. he fixed so many things in our lives. friends of mine did a pulitzer prize-winning series called "tainted justice," which has become a book. i recommend the book to all of you. shoe leather reporting. they went through hispanic north philadelphia where of uses narcotics cops had rated bodegas -- raided bodegas and essentially robbed them because they had plastic bags in their stock. plastic bags, you might realize, tend hold drugs. they can also hold drug leftovers you realize. there was film of a police climbing up on a counter to cut the cord to the surveillance camera so he could robbed the cash register. fortunately for justice generally, he cut the wrong court. not being a very bright concealer of evidence. they were accused credibly by women who were molested by one of them. the story ran for weeks. it was done with the cooperation of the commissioner of police, who i think is a good guy. one of the thi

a police unions are, much more powerful than any union i've ever been on. calvin coolidge in 1919 made his bones when the boston police went on strike. he and the mayor went, i believe, technical term is, they went bat -- what they essentially did was play it for political reasons. they did the ronald reagan traffic controllers thing striking cops were not allowed to come back, yadi yada. the result of that, almost every city with unionized cops there is an arbitration procedure. cops can't strike. what they can do is win every argument in arbitration. the arbitrators are hired by both sides the police union and the city. if the city is trying to hire a cop. now really hard to get fired. in the arbitrations of policemen accused of serious crimes, and fired, by the police department in philadelphia, 90% of them got their jobs back through arbitration. arbitrators split the difference. arbitrators are at the mercy of the police union. another one like the great depression, this is one of our legacies from calvin coolidge. he thinks of so many things in our li

the police union says that likely didn't happen in the freddie gray case and sometimes it's a little impractical. >> now mark lamont hill is with me and the former nypd officer and secret security officer. i want to start with that image that joe just ended his piece on. this is the side by side image within freddie gray on the right, mr. johnson on the right. these are both men who were put into baltimore police vans and these pictures are eerily similar. >> but there are probably a thousand owe people who would look the same way with those injuries and they didn't happen in the police van. unlike the case of mr. johnson, we have a videotape of this man scream in pain before he gets into the van. we have bystanders who say that he was beaten and abused before he got in the van and some doctors suggesting this came from blunt force. could it have happened in the van? absolutely. there's something called diesel therapy. what it means you shackle prisoner give them a rough ride and it causes them damage and harm. but there's plenty of evidence the to suggest that it happened before. th

recently we have gotten that way and if a policeman in this culture, i believe in unions and police unions are much more powerful than any union i have been on. calvin coolidge june 1919 when the boston police went on strike he and the of mayor went the technical term is called bat shit play it for political reasons to do the traffic controller thank there were not allowed to come back but the results is almost every city with unionized cops there is arbitration procedure they cannot strike but they can win every argument the arbitrators are hired by both sides and the city. it is really hard to get fired in the arbitration and accused of serious crimes and to be fired in philadelphia of 90 percent got their jobs back through arbitration. arbitrators will split the difference. there at the mercy of the police union. like the great depression is of legacy from calvin. he fixed so many things in our lives. friends of mine did a pulitzer prize-winning series called the team to justice which has become of book in direct command that. they went through hispanic north philadelphia where abusive

but a police union official told me not long ago, they are concerned about retaliation. not far from their minds as the assassination of those two new york city police officers last december in the wake of the ferguson case in the wake of the eric garner death on staten island a man who assassinated those two police officers drove up from this area where baltimore, this very much on the minds of baltimore police tonight. >> brian todd, thank you so much. when police are called on to investigate themselves there is an inevitable skepticism among many in the community about whether or not anyone can do that fairly. whether justice can be served in a situation like that. earlier today i spoke with gene ryan the president of the baltimore city fraternal order of police. we talked about the tensions between police and the community here and also the police account of what happened that day. where are you about to head right now? >> i'm going to what's called a suspension hearing for the officers involved. and all that is is an informal hearing. they don't talk about the case

i will tell you, mark, the most actionable thing is him calling other police unions, that it is time for them to stop immediately closing rags around one another but instead come to the table. that is a first for the administration could they been careful not to offend police unions are push them off. his willingness to step out on that is the most significant thing. mark: went further than he has ever gone on that. he talked about using the bully pulpit and not the larger federal role that people would like him to take. we will talk about that on "with all due respect" at 5:00. peter cook, lots of talk about trade and defense. no daylight between these two leaders could what did you hear either of them say on those issues that would be fodder for news in asia and here in the united states? peter: i think the president's answer at the end about his level of confidence that this will be passed in the united states he says it is no fun trying to pass a trade bill in this town. that is a reality for this president. brady did express confidence that it would e in the hand prevail because

other police unions and organizations to acknowledge that this is not good for police. we have to own up to the fact that occasionally there are going to be problems here just as there are in every other occupation. there's some bad politicians who are corrupt. there are folks in the business community or on wall street who don't do the right thing. well there's some police who aren't doing the right thing. >> you've been a critic of president obama, but do you take issue with his remarks there? >> it's a mixed message as we always get from him. he mentioned that we all need to do soul searching. i think he needs to do some sourl searching about failed policies have that prolonged the misery in the american ghetto. this is lifestyle choices. these are flawed lifestyle choices people make like dropping out of school like failing to stay employed like having kids out of wedlock. those are behavior changes that go on in these american ghettos if we're going to see a change. >> that may be true but the thing that got this started was the death of freddie gray who has a very

with the police union to look at officers' rights and privacy issues. there are also questioning surrounding how long the video will be saved and who will have access to it. a study found police departments using cameras reduce the risk of litigation. this won't be the first pilot program. san jose also tested body cameras in 2009 and 2012 but the program never got past its pilot stage. as we saw last week in south carolina, video can help provide valuable information about fatal shootings involving police officers. authorities released dash cam video in connection with the traffic stop involving walter scott. it shows him getting out of his car and running away. north charleston police officer michael slager later shoots and kills scott. video taken by a witness captured the shooting. now, other bay area police departments are already using body cameras. that includes oakland, union city, campbell, los galos, and gilroy. reporting live in san jose, maryann favro, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much. >>> meantime, the city of san jose may adopt a

it is important for organizations like the fraternal order of police and other police unions and organizations to acknowledge that this is not good for police. i cannot federalize every police force in the country and force them to retrain. what i can do is to start working with them collaboratively so that they can begin this process of change themselves. mark: john, given the continuing run of police related violence in america, is today's response from the president enough? john: in a word, i think the answer is no. i don't know if barack obama in any way can wave a magic wand and solve this problem. it is deeply enshrined in america. in big cities, small cities, any place where there are white police forces and communities of color. i have to say it is such a huge problem, the problem of criminal justice reform dealing with mass incarceration of african-americans. all of that stuff that feeds into the atmosphere that is greater the problems in ferguson baltimore and new york -- it is a huge problem whole country has to take on. i don't think president obama has done nearly enough in office

the head of the police union says that it is also just a huge intelligence failure that they had talked to this guy before. and very late in the game, they say that they alerted both of the police and the secret service that he was coming. but somehow that nobody would try to stop him. low and slow and below the level of radar that they have relied on, he was able to fly right past the secret service snipers on the white house roof. >> and land in front of the capitol. >> i don't believe that the authorities are going to shoot down a 60-year-old mailman. >> reporter: but apparently no one even contemplated shooting him down because they never saw him coming. >> if this wasn't detected, all the other conversations are irrelevant as you could have the best defense systems in the world, but if you don't see the threat coming around you. >> he flew right in to that huge radar blind spot, below about 400 feet. and the military, they are testing the blimp at the aberdeen proving grounds to detect that type of threat. but it may be months before it is ready. and if you watched the video, you c
