I want the white media

out of Baltimore City

until y'all come here

to report the real stories.

You know, once I realized

that the cameras had recorded

me, I was concerned

about what my father

was going to think,

and so I went home that night.

I saw the video...

it started trending

and trending,

and then three days later,

I was fired.

- The manner of death,

deemed a homicide

by the Maryland state

medical examiner,

is believed to be the result

of a fatal injury

that occurred while

Mr. Gray was unrestrained

by a seat belt in the custody

of a Baltimore Police

Department wagon.

We have probable cause

to file criminal charges.

- Yes! Yes!

- There was jubilation

in the Baltimore neighborhood

where Freddie Gray was killed

after the prosecutor

announced charges.

- This is bigger

than Freddie Gray.

This is bigger

than Trayvon Martin.

This is bigger

than Eric Garner.

This is the way they treat

black people in America, man.

- Stop trying to make us

scared of ISIS

when we need to be scared

of our own judicial system,

'cause that's our terrorist

in our community.

- When we see the police,

our first objective

is not to stand there and get

in compliance... it's to run.

- Like, they chased me.

They didn't find drugs.

So they beat me

in the head with a gun.

- I wish my brother

could have ran,

but he stopped.

He pulled over.

He didn't give nobody

a chase or anything.

He pulled over,

had his hands out the window,

and was executed on the spot!

- A black man don't have

nothing in this world...

nothing.

And that's the end of that.

- Today a judge will decide

if the charges

against the six officers

should be dropped,

if State's Attorney

Marilyn Mosby

should be taken off the case...

- Freddie Gray!

All night...

All day!

- We will fight

for Freddie Gray!

All night...

- Well, once people realized

that there were charges,

people felt like, "What are we

protesting for still?"

We will fight for Freddie Gray!

- Sidewalk!

Hey, get on the sidewalk!

- But, you know, I knew,

like, I wasn't done.

I had a mission

that convictions

was to be expected

and Freddie Gray got justice.

- What do we want?

- Justice!

- And when do we want it?

- Now!

- Police admit they were once

caught off guard

during the riots,

but now they're prepared.

Hey-hey! Ho-ho!

These killer cops

have got to go!

Hey-hey! Ho-ho!

Those killer cops

have got to go!

Hey-hey!

Ho-ho!

These killer cops

have got to go!

- I'm not resisting!

- Hands behind your head!

- I'm hurt.

- Oh, oh, oh, oh!

- Hands behind your back now!

- I'm hurt!

- You're under arrest.

- I'm hurt!

- I'm gonna Tase you!
