Baltimore’s top prosecutor filed charges three days ago against the six police officers involved in the arrest of Freddie Gray. The police union said it’s a mistake, while protesters celebrated. Will the charges influence police policies and culture? We ask Tyrone Powers, former F-B-I agent and criminal justice expert.

Then: What happens in court now that the six officers face charges? We walk through the process and what will happen in court with a professor of constitutional law and a lawyer with the A-C-L-U.

Plus: Young people have been at the core of the protests in Baltimore, but those demonstrations are not usually led by the very young. We talk with a Digital Harbor High School senior who decided to change that and get his thoughts on how the protests can sustain themselves.
