Marilyn Mosby’s Father Was A ‘Crooked Cop,’ Police Officer Grandfather Sued For Racial
The Daily Caller ^ | 6/11/15 | Chuck Ross

Marilyn Mosby has made it widely known that she comes from a long line of police officers, five generations of law enforcement to be exact. The 35-year-old Baltimore city state’s attorney’s father, mother, grandfather, and uncles have all at some point worked as cops — a history which Mosby cites to push back against the claim — as Fox News’ Griff Jenkins put it during a recent interview — that Baltimore’s finest believe the rookie prosecutor does not have their backs because of how she’s handled the Freddie Gray case.

“I come from five generations of police officers,” Mosby responded to Jenkins. “That’s absurd.”

But while it’s true that numerous Mosby family members have worn the badge, a thorough look reveals a more complicated picture of that law enforcement background than she has let on in public.

Start with Mosby’s father, a former Boston police officer named Alan James. In 1989, James and a fellow officer named Dwight Allen were arrested and charged with assault and battery for their role in several armed robberies in a high-crime area of Boston.

According to a Boston Globe article at the time, James, Allen and another suspect flashed badges and brandished guns while shaking down drug dealers. The officers identified themselves as “renegade police” and were reportedly drunk. During one robbery, one of the men fired his gun, though nobody was hurt.

Maybe she counts better than I do, but her Dad and Mom are one generation, her Grandfather is two generations, and she makes it three generations. Uncles are the same generation as her Dad & Mom, so they don’t count.
3 is less than 5 ... but I’m not versed in common core and she prolly is.

Does “lying wench” seem over the top?

She might have her own meaning for words like generations or justice that don’t make any sense to you or me. I’ll bet that is it.

I could care less about her family history. she is an idiot that has done damage to police departments everywhere and has created what is sure to be a riot if theses officers are found to be innocent which I find highly likely.

A generation is between 20-30 years. Let’s split that and call it 25.

Five generations would be 125 years, so let’s put the start of her family’s involvement in law enforcement somewhere around 1980 when she was born.

Um. That means before the Civil War, let’s say 1855 or so, her family was in law enforcement. I don’t know for sure, but in 1855 the North was pretty against blacks carrying badges. The South wasn’t too into that either.

I have to conclude she’s lying.

Reading the article, she comes from a long line of people taking advantage of the system, and benefiting from it, by racial grievances. College scholarship, lawsuits, and all that.

She feels oppressed going to college for free and getting a law degree from Boston College.

I feel oppressed saving all my life and still not being able to pay for my kid to go to state school for an undergraduate degree.

Go figure. I guess there’s different degrees of oppression.

If she’s so talented, why doesn’t she just get out of the affirmative action party and do something for humankind?*

*I’m young and naive, or old and naive, or something.

No, But stupid, dumb-a$$ed bitch might be more truthful. She’s in the process of letting her mouth cause her to loose her job, or at least control of these cop’s cases.
