Somebody needs to come up to the bar and call it like it is on behalf of the Baltimore City States Attorney. Far too many prosecutors are in the pockets of the police. Most are just plain scared when it comes to saying anything against the police. She was not afraid. She had ample evidence that the police were wrong and she spoke out about it – for the people who elected her. She is a hero!!!
A shero!!!
Indeed – of course now she better watch her back because they are going to do their best to punish her.
