15:06Now PlayingDemocracynow.org - Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced Friday that she would not be seeking re-election in the city’s 2016 mayoral race so that she could focus on governing a city on edge over the trials of six police officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray, an African-American man who died in April after being arrested and transported in a police van. The announcement came at the end of a week that saw several developments in the case. On Thursday, Judge Barry Williams ruled that the six officers charged in Gray’s death will face separate trials. Williams also refused defense attempts to dismiss the charges, move the case out of Baltimore, and remove prosecutor Marilyn Mosby from the case. And earlier in the week, the city reached a $6.4 million settlement with Gray’s family. A key piece of evidence in the case against the officers is the video showing Gray screaming in apparent agony as police drag him to a van. It was shot by Kevin Moore, a Baltimore resident who lives in the Gilmor housing projects where Freddie Gray lived. We speak with Moore, who, after filming the event, became a member of WeCopwatch, a nationwide effort to reduce police violence and harassment by videotaping encounters with the community. He also founded a WeCopwatch chapter in Baltimore.
