#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.

#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.

#6 By spending $7mm, they can declare bankruptcy to avoid paying claims to officers for wrongful prosecution.
