As the riots in Baltimore raged on Monday, police officers were alerted to a "credible threat" of disparate gang members collaborating to attack law enforcement. But in a video by The Baltimore Sun, two members of rival gangs embraced and called the claim false.

"We don't want nobody to get hurt," said Crips gang member Charles Shelley, while embracing a member of the Bloods gang. "All that about the police getting hurt about certain gangs — that's false. We're not here for that. We're here to protect our community and that's it." Watch the whole video over at The Baltimore Sun.
