disclosed.
- As the verdict is being read.
- Ideally, before it comes out,
we're already out...
- I got you.
- 'Cause we know it's coming.
- Right.
- I would just like to say
it's humbling,
it's encouraging,
and I will be there
whenever you guys say
we need to move.
- There were
some eyebrows raised
across the city
when word got out
and some pictures surfaced
of outside police
law enforcement agencies
assembling riot gear
and things of that sort
at Druid Hill Park
here in Baltimore.
- You think they really
gonna turn up if he get off?
Like, the whole city...
like how it was last time...
if he get off?
- I think it's gonna
be protest, yeah,
but I don't think people
gonna burn sh*t down.
- To be honest, I hope it's not
another riot,
for real, like...
I don't know, yo.
- You know when
the verdict coming?
The verdict.
You know when it's coming?
I don't know.
- No justice!
- No peace!
- No racist...
- Police!
- No justice!
- No peace!
- No racist...
- Police!
- Indict, convict!
Send these killer cops to jail!
The whole damn system
is guilty as hell!
- We have just confirmed
that a mistrial
has been declared
in the case of Freddie Gray...
the case against William Porter,
police officer...
one of several police officers
accused of killing Freddie Gray.
- Your reaction now
to the judge's declaration
of a mistrial.
- I mean, a mistrial, in short,
is a miscarriage of justice.
- We need justice now,
not tomorrow.
So we got to go through this
five more times?
- This is exact...
this is the system working.
It's not supposed to convict
one of its own.
- The evidence was there.
What more do you need to know?
A man was killed
in police custody.
- So what happens now?
- We shut the city down.
We continue to march
and demand for justice.
We continue to make
our voices heard,
and we continue
to let the world know
that Baltimore will be
is served for the lives
of black people
who were killed
in the presence of police.
- I do think, ultimately,
we have to focus
on how to get the structural
changes necessary,
so that way we can prevent
these types of trials
from having to happen
in the first place.
- Let's move away from them.
- You are impeding...
- We do not have to disperse!
- The flow of traffic...
- This is public property!
Thugs with badges
is all y'all are!
There are no riots.
We have not been violent.
We are being peaceful.
When did this become unlawful?
- Come here, sir.
- What the...
- Come here, come here.
Come here.
Put your hands
behind your back.
- What did I do?
- He didn't do anything!
- So, Kwame, what happened?
- Excuse me.
- Sir, why did they arrest you?
- I don't know.
- Step back!
Step back, step back,
step back.
- Get out the way!
Move!
Free Kwame Rose!
Free Kwame Rose!
Free Kwame Rose!
Free Kwame Rose!
Free Kwame Rose!
- Impeding the flow
of vehicular
and pedestrian traffic.
- F*** all y'all!
- No, Mom, I'm protecting
my colleagues
that are protesting.
I'm not protesting.
Yes, Mom.
I'm fine.
I'm not gonna get arrested.
- All right.
- I was standing over here,
and all of the sudden,
you see a swarm
of the sheriff's deputies,
and then they arrested him
in here.
That's why they're
standing out here.
I'm gonna try to get
this gentleman's name, though,
'cause...
he threatened me, so...
What's your name?
Could I have your name, please?
What is your name?
You have to give me your name.
You're a public servant.
What is your name?
Who is your ranking officer?
Who's, like, the sergeant?
Who's the lieutenant?
Who's here?
You don't know
who you f***ing with.
What's up, yo?
You all right?
- Mm-hmm.
You know Kwame
got arrested, right?
- Jason, are you still
representing Kwame?
He just got arrested,
which is why I'm calling you.
I wish I was kidding.
- It's bad...
- Well...
- 'Cause he was on probation.
- And we are from one city
with what?
One purpose!
- One city...
- One purpose!
- One city!
- One purpose!
- Again, who knows
the serenity prayer?
- I do!
I do!
- That is the prayer we chose.
However, if you have
a private prayer
that you would like to say
or you just so happen
to be Muslim
and you want to make Salaat
or you just so happen
to be Jewish and you want to...
You know what I mean?
However that works.
We got more people...
excuse me...
on the news, saying that
the tensions are high.
Does anybody here feel tense?
- No!
- No!
- Are we sure?
- Yes!
- We're not gonna go looting,
like, tomorrow
'cause of whatever, right?
No!
- Y'all hear me?
- Yes!
- Loud, come on!
- Yeah!
- God...
Grant me the serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change,
the courage to change
the things that I can,
and the wisdom to know
the difference.
- Louder!
God, grant me the serenity...
- Hallelujah!
- Thank You, Lord Jesus, God...
- Yes, God.
Yes, God!
Hallelujah!
- We're gonna let the devil
know that we... Guess what.
We're gonna take
our streets back!
- Amen?
- Amen!
- Amen. And unity?
We're gonna have unity
in Baltimore City. Amen?
- We pray right now
in the name of Jesus,
oh, God, that You
bring peace and love,
oh, God, and kindness, oh, God,
in the name of Jesus.
- Lord God, go beyond
race and politics, oh, God.
Lord God, we pray and ask
that You would go
into the hearts of people,
oh, God,
Lord God, and get at
the root of it, Lord God,
the sin, Lord God.
- What God does
is indescribable.
There's not a drug on Earth
that can get you higher
than Jesus.
All-powerful,
untamable
Awestruck, we fall
to our knees
- Clergy, city leaders,
shoulder to shoulder
with neighbors at Penn
that was looted and burned
during the unrest in April.
They're linked
by a shared disappointment
over what happened and a hope
that it won't happen again.
- You a activist, this
is where you need to be at.
This is real activism
right here.
You know, it ain't just
about going out
- Oh, yeah!
- Freedom!
- Freedom!
- Racist-ass cops!
- We don't need 'em!
- Are y'all serious?
Y'all let this man walk
into court with no shackles
on him?
But when we get locked up,
y'all beat us up,
tighten the cuffs
off our wrists.
Do you know how
that sh*t feels?
That is not a pretty...
it ain't nothing...
nothing... this city
doesn't have nothing.
We don't have nothing to do.
I'm 17, smoking cigarettes.
Why? Because I'm stressed every
day that I'm going to die.
I'm gonna die by a stray bullet
or a cop-killer like Porter.
- Tell me what democracy
looks like!
This is what
democracy looks like!
- Tell me what
democracy looks like!
This is what
democracy looks like!
- Tell me what
democracy looks like!
This is what
democracy looks like!
