President Barack Obama said it's "absolutely vital" that the truth about what happened to Freddie Gray comes out.
Obama said justice needed to be served and that all the evidence needs to be presented. He added that the individuals facing charges are entitled to due process.
He also called for protests to be peaceful. Baltimore has been relatively calm since riots on Monday.
"I hope that approach to non-violent protest and community engagement continues," Obama said.
Obama commented Friday shortly after Baltimore's top prosecutor announced criminal charges against the six police officers who were suspected after the 25-year-old Baltimore man suffered a fatal spinal injury in police custody.
Gray's death angered the community and led to violent protests, including looting and fires, after his funeral earlier this week.
