If so, that’s merely cover for the State’s Attorney’s real intent.

Are there aggressive cops in Maryland... yup. Not just in Baltimore City either. I have personal stories, with traffic stops family members were involved in... all white and middle class professionals. I witnessed cops shoving a homeless woman's head into the ground, and was yelled at to walk away by them... I think most of us are pretty frightened by aggressive cops given their authority and the fact they are armed.

Are they under more stress and pressure in inner city Baltimore... of course. Do I think you should be able to arrest someone because they looked at you and ran off with no probable cause... absolutely not. I have no interest in ceding power to government officials by supporting that notion.

The left has continually used the police to corral the fruits of their failed policies into submission. The city leaders are equally culpable for the unfortunate death of this man, regardless of his past arrests.
