| #3 I'm assuming the Police Defense League and the city's insurers rather than Mosby's paycheck will cover the cost. Maybe BLM will kick in.  |

| #1 Poor State's Attorney Mosby. 6-0 in a *very* high profile case. If only one of the cops had rolled on the others. Which they might have, if she hadn't wildly over-charged. Baltimore would have spent $7M easy on clean-up and overtime after the riots, so attempting to do the cops is probably a wash. But that's not the only bill for this sordid affair: * Blacks now have 'proof' the justice system is rigged. * Police/citizen encounters will be more volatile. * The cops feel betrayed. * The city needs the cops for 2 things: security and revenue. Crime will go up, ticket revenue will go down. * The cops feel betrayed. Not bad for a few months work! Props to the judge for being a stand-up guy. |
