5:27Now PlayingSpeaking on Democracy Now! recently, David Simon, a Baltimore resident best known for creating the television series "The Wire," criticized Democratic presidential candidate Martin O’Malley’s policing policies as mayor of Baltimore. "It was almost as if he couldn’t get the reductions in the murder rate that he had promised as a candidate, and the next three or four years were: ’Let’s just throw everybody in the back of a van,’ Simon said. "If you looked at a cop the wrong way in Baltimore in about those three central years when Marty was trying to become governor, you went in the back of a police van, you were taken down to the city jail, you know, held overnight." O’Malley responds to Simon and also discusses the recent disruption of his appearance at the Netroots Nation conference by Black Lives Matter protesters who declared a "state of emergency" over the killings of African Americans. O’Malley also talks about the death of Freddie Gray in Baltimore police custody.
