(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[20:00:44] DON LEMON, CNN ANCHOR: We are live from the U.S. city of Baltimore, Maryland where demonstrations against police brutality turned celebratory after six officers were arrested. Hello and welcome to our viewers here in the United States and around

the world. I'm Don Lemon. We thank you for joining us. The officers all face charges in the death of Freddie Gray in police custody. They range from misconduct to involuntary manslaughter. They have all posted their bond. Gray died last month after what Baltimore's top prosecutor called an illegal arrest and homicide. Gray suffered a spinal injury after being in the police transport van.

The demonstrators have been marching in Baltimore for days. The protests even turned violent earlier this week. The city is under curfew right now. Police arrested some marchers after the curfew began just two hours ago. Freddie Gray's stepfather says the charges against officers are an important step toward justice. Gray's family and the state's attorney Marilyn Mosby are calling for peaceful protests.

MARILYN MOSBY, BALTIMORE CITY STATE'S ATTORNEY: To the people of Baltimore and the demonstrators across America, I heard your call for 'no justice no peace.' Your peace is sincerely needed as I work to deliver justice on behalf of this young man.

(END VIDEOCLIP)

LEMON: So - and right now I want to show you some more of the chaos that broke out after Baltimore's curfew went into effect. My colleague Brian Todd explained to me live what was happening to him at his location. Take a look.

(BEGIN VIDEOCLIP)

BRIAN TODD, CNN CORRESPONDENT: We had a real melee over here. We're being moved away from the satellite truck where there was the real melee between police and some protesters. We got one protestor over here on the ground being arrested - we're right here with him. The police are trying to move us out of plaza - they've moved us out of the plaza, but there was like - it's a really frenetic melee over here by this satellite truck where there were several protesters pushing against police. It started - we were right here when it started. It was an older

police commander, a man in a white shirt, came in and just grabbed one of the protesters and started to pull him. That's when a lot of the other protesters converged on them and then these riot police came in here and just shoved everyone around, got this man on the ground here. He's being apprehended.

LEMON: How close will they let you -

TODD: A very frenetic scene.

LEMON: -- get in there, Brian?

TODD: Well they're letting us get pretty much right on top of this arrest you see right here, Don, but -

LEMON: OK.

TODD: -- they have pushed us away from the plaza --

LEMON: OK.

TODD: -- and now -

LEMON: Brian, I need to get to CNN's Jason Carroll whereas people are being arrested and cuffed. Go ahead, Jason.

Male: My name is Isaac Zalto (ph)!

JASON CARROLL, CNN CORRESPONDENT: So, Don, we're right here as two people were brought under arrest - a man and a woman. This man right here just taken into custody. You can see he's been handcuffed --

Male: Thank you.

CARROLL: -- and the one behind him there as a woman - she was also - she was also taken into custody here. We're not too far from Brian Todd's location. A number of officers descended on these two here --

POLICE: Move them out of here - let's go!

CARROLL: -- descended on these two here and two others who were on the other side by that pole over there. This all started as you know as a number of these protesters - about two dozen or so - formed a circle in the middle of the quad area there in front of City Hall. These officers descended upon them and then they're now taking them into custody and putting them into some of the wagons over here. I have to tell you, Don, --

LEMON: Jason.

CARROLL: -- but a few of the protesters who came out here earlier tonight - and I want to emphasize just a few - made it very clear from early on they were not going to honor - we're having an announcement here from the officers. We're going to move back. A very few number of the protesters made it very clear they were not

going to honor the curfew. And so they had made it very clear early on this evening that they were going to stay. And when I asked one of them, I said, "What happens when the curfew comes and the police come?" they said, well we'll just get arrested. So it's very clear that a small number of the protesters who were out here, -- and again just to emphasize a small number - had made it - had made the decision very on that they would be arrested if necessary.

LEMON: That was CNN's Jason Carroll. Jason and Miguel join me now - Miguel Marquez/Jason Carroll -- both join me now and they have been out on the streets of Baltimore all evening. I mean, that was pretty incredible and we hadn't seen anything like that since Monday.

[20:05:08] CARROLL: Right, right and in some ways not totally unexpected because as both of us were out here with some of these folks when we were talking to them, I said to them, you know, "What's going to happen when this curfew comes along?" And they said, 'Well when the curfew comes along, we're going to be

sitting here,' and I said, "Well you know you might be arrested" and many of those protesters who were out here - again, a small number that were here by this point - said, 'Yes, we know we will be arrested.' So some of them had made the determination early on that they would in

fact be arrested.

LEMON: And Miguel, there were some people saying, you know, police were beating me and what have you. Any of you see any evidence of that?

MIGUEL MARQUEZ, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: I saw the police beating no one. In fact, they were treating them quite well. I spoke to several protesters briefly as they were being detained and I spoke at length to a young woman who believed that her friend had been beaten and he had a bruise across his face. But I saw that young man and it appeared that he just had sort of a black smudge across his face. There was a woman that I saw that had her - they put her down on her

belly and was arrested. She - they - then put her in a van, took her out of the van. I saw her a short time later walking around - she had a bandage around her face (ph) but she may have been injured.

CARROLL: And there was also - and here was also an officer who was - I would say - just, what, a hundred feet or so from where we are now who looked as if he had been hurt. You know, a minor injury in the head. But in terms of some of the protesters who were hurt, I didn't see that.

LEMON: You had a moment there and I'm not sure if you did as well, but they were being - became aggressive with you and they were aggressive with the media.

MARQUEZ: They - well you know - we like to be aggressive as well I suppose, but it - look - this is - this is -

LEMON: It is what it is.

MARQUEZ: -- Baltimore. This is a city, this is a great American city and this is a curfew that had rules. So that if you were in the media or if you were working, they don't apply to you. And suddenly the police officers out there were making up rules. I just wanted to stand on the sidewalk so we could get an advantage

point and they said no we want you on that side. They were trying to corral us into an area where they wanted us and these are public sidewalks in the shadow of City Hall. It doesn't make any sense.

LEMON: Yes. Did you experience anything like that?

CARROLL: I did not. But, you know, having been in the middle of it, you can see how it's a tough situation. Some of those officers clearly could see that I was there, treated me with the utmost amount of respect. But then on the other hand, I did see another officer who was there who treated another photographer with what I would call some rough hands. And so I think people are trying to do in some cases the best that they can. Not all of them handled the situation the best way that they could.

LEMON: Listen, this is America, we're all about civil disobedience, but some of the stories that they were telling you guys that - you know - people had to use bread as pillows and -

(LAUGHTER)

LEMON: -- I mean it was - they were a little bit far-fetched.

CARROLL: Well, I -

LEMON: Comparing it to a concentration camp -

CARROLL: Yes, that's ridiculous.

MARQUEZ: There is - you know -- for two weeks now there is great distrust of this department and of this city government here among a lot of people.

CARROLL: And for reasons we saw today.

(CROSS TALK)

MARQUEZ: And for reasons - well - for reasons that I've learned over the last couple of weeks as well. To hear the stories of people who were wronged by police in so many instances. Everybody has a story in that neighborhood in the Gilmor Homes/Sandtown area, everybody has a story. I mean it's just - it can't be the one off. Everybody's been in those vans, everyone's been taken for a rough ride. Now they call it being Freddie in that neighborhood.

CARROLL: Yes, and it's generational.

MARQUEZ: It's amazing.

CARROLL: Grandparents have experienced it. You know, their children and then their children. It's something that's passed on from one generation to another. That's why you see I think so much anger. And that's why you saw today so much elation. Because so many of these people for so long felt as though they did not have a voice. They felt as though no one was listening and today they felt as though, finally perhaps, there was a first step towards listening.

MARQUEZ: And I thought most - I think most - of those people out there felt they were not going to be arrested.

CARROLL: Oh yes.

MARQUEZ: One kid I met in that neighborhood whose mother, father died, older brother killed in the street violence, younger brother hung himself two weeks ago -

Male: Goodness.

MARQUEZ: -- and it is heartbreaking, the stories in that - in those neighborhoods. And, you know, these are - they're literally open air drug markets. I've never seen anything like it.

LEMON: Now you said you go the sense and I heard you interview some folks who said, 'We just didn't think that we would be arrested tonight.' But what made them think it would be any different because the curfew's supposed to be in effect for seven days, so why would you think all of a sudden on Friday they'd go, 'OK, not going to happen'?

MARQUEZ: I think they were surprised, I was a little surprised that the mayor at some point today didn't just lift the curfew. I think it was very clear once those charges came down that, I mean, after everybody sort of picked their jaws up off the floor from what the -

LEMON: Marilyn Mosby.

MARQUEZ: -- city attorney had done - the state's attorney - had done, there was such a sense of elation and excitement -

CARROLL: Right.

MARQUEZ: -- and a completely different nature. Even from the last few nights, you know, after Monday which was really bad.

[20:10:03] LEMON: Miguel, in all fairness, even when there are celebratory, you know, protests or whatever demonstrations on the street, we see people turning over cars when you look at - when they have basketball or football or sporting championships - when you look at Pumpkin Fest, you look at - these aren't negative things that are happening or bad things, these are people who just get so - if the mayor had lifted the curfew and then you have this unrest on the street, it's going to back - she's going to go back to the type criticism that she got from the media on Monday.

CARROLL: It's damned if you do, damned if you don't.

LEMON: Exactly.

CARROLL: I don't - I think it's a no-win situation. And the situation out here - these people - they had, you know, a circle going, it was past curfew. They were being peaceful. So were they violating the curfew? Yes. But were they being peaceful?

LEMON: Yes, they were -

CARROLL: -- it was -

LEMON: -- they were being peaceful.

CARROLL: -- it was a judgment call.

LEMON: Absolutely.

CARROLL: It was a judgment call.

LEMON: Yes.

CARROLL: Thanks.

LEMON: You are very welcome. And I think the Mayor wanted to not let this out of the box as well now.

MARQUEZ: She didn't want a repeat of Monday obviously and, you know, hotel occupancy across the city has plummeted -

LEMON: Plummeted, right.

MARQUEZ: -- in many places she didn't want to continue - they wanted to send the clear signal that the police are in control of the city.

LEMON: And we're glad too. We didn't need you arrested, we needed you on television, so -

MARQUEZ: Well --

LEMON: That was my only point.

MARQUEZ: All right.

LEMON: Thank you, Miguel, thank you, Jason, as always. I want to review these charges for these six officers for you right now that they're facing in this case. Officer Garrett E. Miller was one of the three officers on bike patrol who arrested Freddie Gray. He is facing five charges. They include second degree assault and up to 20 years behind bars. Lieutenant Brian W. Rice was also one of the officers on bike patrol.

He is facing six charges including involuntary manslaughter. His possible sentence - 30 years behind bars. Officer Edward M. Nero was the third officer on bike patrol. He faces

five charges including second degree assault. His possible sentence - 20 years. Officer Caesar R. Goodson was the driver of the transport van. He is

facing the most serious charges including second degree murder and manslaughter. If convicted, he could face - he could spend up to 63 years in prison. Officer William G. Porter responded when Goodson asked for additional

units to check on Freddie Gray. He is facing three charges and up to 20 years in prison. And then there's Sergeant Alicia D. White. She was there during one

of the stops to check on Gray's condition. She is facing three charges that could bring up to 20 years in prison. Now you have it. Alicia White's lawyer spoke out about the charges against his client. Listen.

(BEGIN VIDEOCLIP)

FEMALE REPORTER: -- something that you'd say on her behalf - on her behalf?

TONY GARCIA, ATTORNEY FOR ACCUSED SERGEANT ALICIA D. WHITE: Not at this juncture, not at this juncture at this exact moment other than our client is innocent - this is ridiculous.

Female REPORTER: Do you think that the charges today might've been rushed?

GARCIA: We'll contact you. I'm not going to give any more comments at this point.

Female REPORTER: OK --

(END VIDEOCLIP)

LEMON: The Baltimore Police Union set up a GoFundMe account to raise money for the officers, but now it has been suspended. They claim no explanation was given as to why the account was shut down, but they're trying to set up a new site for donations. GoFundMe responded saying, quote, "The campaign clearly stated that

the money raised would be used to assist the officers with their legal fees, which is a direct violation of GoFundMe's terms . . . Specifically, 'campaigns in defense of formal charges or claims of heinous crimes, violent, hateful, sexual or discriminatory acts' are not permitted on GoFundMe " I want to bring in now Rob Weinhold. He is here with me. He's a

crisis expert with the Fallston Group and he specializes in crisis management. Thank you very much, Rob, for joining us. Those are some very serious charges - anywhere from 20 to up to 30

years in prison for the most serious and even beyond. Are those charges going to be tough to prove?

ROB WEINHOLD, CRISIS EXPERT, THE FALLSTON GROUP: You know, I'll leave that to the attorneys. I can tell that I have not seen anything like that in my time here in Baltimore. I also haven't seen anything as expeditious as the state's attorney's office coming out and levying charges as almost as soon as they received a file folder so to speak from the Baltimore Police Department. So very, very serious I think. I talked to a lot of officers today,

active and retired. I think there's a sense of shock, disbelief. Folks are upset. You know, they go to work that day and here we are a short time later and there's mugshots on TV of police officers And equally on this other side. Freddie Gray, you know, a tragic incident. A mother's lost a child. That's a horrible situation. Now Baltimore engaged in riots - again, a horrible situation. But the days following the riots, we've seen the best of Baltimore - peaceful protests, neighborhoods getting involved, the older generation tugging the younger generation on the sleeve and saying, hey, there's a better way to do business. And so a lot of peace, a lot of good and hopefully Baltimore can take this adversity that it's suffered here and turn it into longer-term advantage and change in policing and community relationships across the country.

[20:15:03] LEMON: Yes, and I want to talk about police departments across the country because this is really a shot to the bow for many departments because just the first part of it - the first part of it is unlawful arrest, unlawful arrest, unlawful arrest. So I think departments are going to be looking at not only how they transport, right, prisoners or people that - who they detain, but whether or not they are arresting this person legally.

WEINHOLD: That's a really good point and I think when officers go on the street, certainly they need to be - have the resources - but they need the legal training. So, reasonable suspicion - what is it How do you use it? How is it defined by the state's attorney's office? And then probable cause and ultimately the arrest. You know, the training issues, the policy issues - all those things

will be looked at. Body cameras for police officers, audio in the back of vans as well as some of the visual techniques that are out there. But at the end of the day, I think a well-trained, disciplined police force that is supervised the right way for the right reasons is very, very important. And I've said it many times. Police departments can't do their job

effectively without the communities that they serve, and the communities can't be as safe as they want to be without the officers who are sworn to serve and protect. And I have to tell you, the overwhelmingly - the overwhelmingly concern (ph) that I have is the folks across this country - the men and women in blue - they want to do the right things for the right reasons and really do care about the communities that they serve.

LEMON: When we - when you look at the charges against the officers, if all of those things did happen or just some of them happened - an illegal arrest, not seat-belting him in, not calling for medical attention, not really checking on him in a proper way, going to a recorded (sub) - those are very egregious things, even if some of them are true and not all of them.

WEINHOLD: Extremely serious. What we have here again is a mother that's lost a child, we've got training issues. I mean, it's been said over and over and over again that these officers may not have cared for Freddie Gray as he requested. All that will come out in court in due process but very egregious charges, something we haven't seen here for a long, long time.

LEMON: And it's - you know - people here have been saying that this sort of behavior happens all the time from police officers and now they feel like finally there's an example and that the whole world is paying attention. Do you think that we will start to hear - because I know we're hearing from the police unions, right? Do you think we'll start to hear from more police officers who either had these kinds of stories or who are going to say, 'Listen, that's just not true. We have really hard jobs and you don't understand it?' WEINHOLD: I think in Baltimore you have a lot of folks in the police

department who are a little bit shocked as - in terms of what happened and how quickly this case came to the charging point. And I think departments need to take a very, very hard look at

themselves -- again -- the training issues, the policy issues. What are officers armed with in terms of legal tactics and do they really understand what reasonable suspicion and probable cause is? The fact is many, many do, but we're dealing again with young officers

many times who are aggressive, but I think many times they're aggressive for the right reasons.

LEMON: Yes.

WEINHOLD: Many issues to sort through here for sure.

LEMON: Cameras certainly change things, don't they?

WEINHOLD: We're in a world of digitization and everyone seems to be a journalist these days and so - and even we saw here earlier at City Hall, you know, a little more assertive in terms of enforcing the curfew, and the officers are under the gun because they are on national news and the world is watching how they handle this very sensitive situation.

LEMON: Rob Weinhold, thank you. Appreciate that.

WEINHOLD: Thank you.

LEMON: You know, we're live in Baltimore tonight, just two hours into tonight's curfew here. Up next, my interview with the man who was in the police van with Freddie Gray the day he was arrested. We're going to hear what he overheard those officers say. Plus chief prosecutor Marilyn Mosby says it is her duty to carry out

justice for Freddie Gray. My interview with her is straight ahead here on CNN.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEOCLIP)

[20:21:42] Male: We feel elated today. Finally in Baltimore City, justice going to be served. The indictments were just the beginning. We need six convictions now. These people are ecstatic because for so many years in this city, we've been seeing how individuals in the Baltimore City Police Department - not all of them, but these rogue cops in this particular instance - always get away. But today we're excited that the people that they counted on the whole nation was calling 'thugs' and 'hoodlums' - they came together collectively and we forced change, we made the difference. That's what's so important about this and people are excited - look at these people!

(END VIDEOCLIP)

LEMON: You know there's that is still not known about exactly when Freddie Gray sustained his injuries. I spoke with a man who was in the police van with Gray the day he was arrested. He says he believes that Gray was injured before he got in the prison transport van - a van that looked a lot like this one with a metal partition separating the passengers. He also told me what he overheard when they arrived at the police

station.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

LEMON: So then you get in the van, right? How long do you wait there?

DONTA ALLEN, PASSENGER IN VAN WITH FREDDIE GRAY: About two minutes until they pulled off.

LEMON: OK. Do they put a seatbelt on you?

ALLEN: No, sir.

LEMON: You're the only -

ALLEN: They never put seatbelts on no - if they put seatbelts on somebody, I need to know who that person is because they treating that person better than everybody in Baltimore City.

LEMON: OK, so they never put a seatbelt on?

ALLEN: Never put a seatbelt on me?

LEMON: So you've been in the back of the van before?

ALLEN: Yes, oh I have.

LEMON: So they put you in the van, right? And you said just about two minutes and they take off - they don't strap you in, right? They don't put a seatbelt on you?

ALLEN: No.

LEMON: Are you moving around in there?

ALLEN: No, not moving. It's a smooth ride. I mean, they didn't - they wasn't trying to hurt me back there or nothing. They wasn't trying to, you know, intentionally hurt me back there or nothing.

LEMON: Could you see the person driving the van?

ALLEN: You can't - you can see like -

Male: It's a blur.

ALLEN: -- yes, you -- it's like a polka dot gate, a little gate that you -

LEMON: Right.

ALLEN: -- could see them.

LEMON: But you can't see the person on the other side? It's completely solid?

ALLEN: No, it's completely solid.

LEMON: Now the story is according to a newspaper report in the "Washington Post" that there was screaming in the van that you said that he was intentionally screaming and hurting himself.

ALLEN: Untrue.

LEMON: OK.

ALLEN: Very, very, very untrue. Very untrue. I never talked to no investigators, I never talked to nobody. I got my own personal lawyer who I haven't talked to all day because of the madness that been going on. The only person that I talked to was Homicide, and the exact same story I'm telling y'all, I told them.

LEMON: There's a relative of one of the officers involve saying that he was irate and screaming and moving around in the back of the van.

ALLEN: While I was back there?

LEMON: While you were back there. Or at least during part of the ride. I'm not sure if you were back there.

ALLEN: Absolutely untrue.

LEMON: Not true?

ALLEN: Not true.

LEMON: You never heard him?

ALLEN: Never heard him. I heard - the only thing that I heard was little banging like he - I thought he was banging - someone was over there banging their head or something. But now that I know that he was hurt before he got in that van - because they didn't hurt him while we was in the van. First of all, nobody cannot fit in the back of that van - they said a couple of police did this to him. Nobody never come in the back of that van touch me or nobody on the other side. We didn't make no stops, we went straight to the police station.

[20:25:03] LEMON: You - so you don't think he - anybody -

ALLEN: I know for a fact that he did not hurt his self. I know he didn't. A man cannot hurt his self with three fractured bones in his neck, a crushed voice box, a spinal cord messed up and a broken leg. You cannot do that in th paddy wagon, and you probably can hit your head and have a little headache, yes. But you ain't going to hurt yourself to the point whereas you going to be dead and brutalized like that.

LEMON: And officers can't get in there to hurt you like that?

ALLEN: Officers, they can - they can stand at the back where the entrance is and probably punch you in your face like this, but what's that's going to do?

LEMON: Yes. So you think he was injured before he got in that van?

ALLEN: He was definitely injured before he got in the van.

LEMON: And so when you get out of the van, do you ever hear any conversations with -

ALLEN: Well, when I got out the van, as I'm going in - see I'm very - I've very, you know - aware of my surroundings for real. So as I'm going in, I'm listening. But when I'm going in, as I'm going in, I do hear them - someone saying - 'Well you know we gave him a run for his money, you know, he's not breathing.' Basically saying that they did something to him.

LEMON: Gave him a run for his money?

ALLEN: Yes.

LEMON: He's not breathing?

ALLEN: Well, he's not breathing - he don't have no pulse.

LEMON: That's what they said?

ALLEN: That's what they said. I don't know who, but I heard police saying that.

LEMON: As you were getting into the van?

ALLEN: As I was going into the police station.

LEMON: As you were getting out of the van once you got to lockup.

ALLEN: Right.

LEMON: Can you say that - say that again - what did they say?

ALLEN: 'We gave him a run for his money - he's not breathing.' But they wasn't saying it like, 'Guys, we really have a problem here.' That's how they said it.

(END VIDEOCLIP)

LEMON: Donta Allen in that police van with Freddie Gray on the day that he sustained those injuries. Baltimore's chief prosecutor has not said if the police officers intentionally gave Freddie Gray a rough ride, but many critics of the police speculate that they did. "Rough rides" have been a problem in police departments all across the United States. It is a way officers can hurt someone they have arrested without even touching them. CNN's Jean Casarez has our report.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

MOSBY: Mr. Gray suffered a severe and critical neck injury as a result of being handcuffed, shackled by his feet and unrestrained inside of the BPD wagon.

JEAN CASAREZ, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Baltimore state attorney Marilyn Mosby made it clear today she knows how 25-year-old Freddie Gray was killed.

MOSBY: -- and at no point was he secured by a seatbelt while in the wagon, contrary to a BPD general order.

CASAREZ: But whether she can prove Gray was murdered as a result of a rough ride in the police wagon is still unclear. For years police departments across the country have been accused of rough rides or driving aggressively with a suspect with the intention of tossing them around as a form of punishment.

ROBERT KLOTZ, FORMER WASHINGTON DEPUTY CHIEF OF POLICE: If you start taking curves in a very fast and sharp manner, if you run through a lot of pothole areas. There's other things that could be done that would cause the individual to bounce off walls or bounce up and down and fall down.

CASAREZ: Lawsuits filed in Chicago, Philadelphia and Baltimore show just how serious these rides can be. In 2005, Dondi Johnson was paralyzed and later died after a ride with the Baltimore Police. His family was awarded more than $7 million. That was later reduced to $219,000. No officers were charged. In 2001, "The Philadelphia Inquirer" documented 20 cases where

individuals were seriously injured after being transported. In 1985, Chicago settled a suit against one man for injuries he sustained after being arrested and put in a wagon for disorderly conduct. CNN was able to obtain legal documents from Chicago's ACLU who helped

represent him where he won $135,000 after injuries. The City of Chicago outlined recommendations at the time to ensure

safety of those being transported. Number one on the list? "Eliminations of protrusions in the wagon that could injure" and seatbelts.

MOSBY: Officer Goodson returned to his driver's seat and proceeded toward the Central Booking and Intake Facility with Mr. Gray still unsecured by a seatbelt, contrary to a BPD general order.

CASAREZ: A recommendation the Baltimore state attorney says was ignored while transporting Freddie Gray. Jean Casarez, CNN New York.

LEMON: All right, Jean, thank you very much. Coming up, my one-on- one interview with prosecutor Marilyn Mosby. She says it is her duty to carry out justice for the death of Freddie Gray. Plus, the attorney for the female officer charged, Alicia White, speaks out about the case, calling the charges against his client ridiculous.
