i feel she charged them to settle down the restless natives knowing it wouldn’t fly and will deal with the repercussions later.
>>. She has one of the most experienced homicide prosecutors in the state of Maryland as chief of her homicide unit, but did not ask him to investigate.<<
She is a child and probably an EEO hire.
I would not want my grandchild doing work on such weighty matters.
It reminds me of Dallas ISD’s HR director. A child and definitely and EEO hire — DISD is being sued as a result and this one will be also.
Marilyn Mosby is just as qualified to be District Attorney as Barack Obama is to be president of the USA.
The six officers will go to trial...
Three white officers and three black officers...
There will be three convictions and three acquittals...
The problem with the knife charge is that this was not the reason why the police chased after Gray. It was only found during the search of his person that took place after he’d been arrested.
Meaning that the knife (legal or not) did not constitute probable cause for the arrest.
Sorry, but I utterly oppose the notion of cops arresting people and then justifying their actions after the fact. Such a thing is an invitation to mischief.
She’s another incompetent community organizer ACORN parasite.
Spit.
... and inflamitory at the least !
"Room to protest" is one thing, but allowing "room to riot" is antoher (and criminal)
I still call it "Malfeasance of Office" , and criminally and civillaly liability for monetary lawsuit.
The cops were sacrificed on the altar of political correctness. The Black cops were thrown in so as to deflect charges of racial unfairness.
Prosecutors have too much leeway and are rarely subject to accountability actions.
Police only have to believe the knife was illegal. The job of determining if it was legal or not rests with a jury.
I’d say that DA just auditioned for the Justice Department.
I knew the wheels would come off this, but I didn’t expect this quickly. Even our Race Hustler in Chief seems to be avoiding this one.
1. Baltimore’s knife laws are shockingly stupid.
2. Criminally charging two cops without checking the law they were alleged to have misapplied is shockingly stupid.
3. If there are valid charges in there, or if there should have been valid charges, weakening the real case by including bogus, politically-motivated charges is shockingly stupid.
In short, these events fit in nicely with Maryland’s liberal traditions.
I had higher hopes for Baltimore PD fighting back. Like, with a massive case of the blue flu or something along those lines. The rest of the PD must not care, however, so they don’t fight back. So be it.
ping!
I’m not a fan of this State Attorney who charged the 6 cops. Her job is to prosecute with neither pride or passion, and I do not have faith that she intends to.
However, I also believe that the police charged are all guilty to some degree in the death of Freddie Gray. Some just through their inaction and others through their own malfeasance. She didn’t need a grand jury. As much as I think she’s heading into trouble with her attitude, I do believe she’s right that the probable cause to charge the officers is obvious and they have been justly charged.
She will make an excellent Dem candidate for president in 4 years.
