Baltimore Protesters: 'You Can Replace Property, You Can't Replace a Life'

"Democracy Now!" airs weekdays at 9 a.m. PT on KCET.

"Democracy Now!" reports from the streets of Baltimore, where an overnight curfew has taken effect following Monday's riots, sparked by the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old African-American man who died of neck injuries suffered in police custody.

Police in riot gear fired tear gas at hundreds of protesters who defied the curfew when it began Tuesday at 10 p.m. At least 10 were arrested. But overall, the Baltimore Police Department declared "the city is stable." Thousands of forces, including National Guard troops, have deployed throughout the city streets. Monday's unrest led to more than 200 arrests, dozens of cars set on fire, and many buildings badly damaged.

"Democracy Now!'s" Aaron Maté and videographer Hany Massoud speak with locals as they take part in both the clean-up effort and the continued protests over Freddie Gray's death.
