#1 By taking a chance with this kind of case, legal experts said, Baltimore's State's Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby must believe she is correctly interpreting the law and has the political will.

Or she's just dumb as a box of rocks...

#2 Mosby has had some legal setbacks (well deserved IMO) in this case and is looking to try another tactic.

Her persecution of police officers is despicable and deserves contempt.

#3 Yon Mosby has a lean and hungry look.

It's a bold move. If she can pull it off, she has made her name. But win or lose, she burns down any trust between the cops and the City. A high price to pay for one woman's ambition.

#4 And now the police will stop policing. It will be interesting to watch Baltimore devolve into anarchy where might makes right prevails.

#6 Wasn't it Mosby's office that directed them to focus on that street corner and make some arrests?

#7 She's going to look pretty stupid and grasping when the cops are acquitted, the BLM riot and burn the inner City, and the Cops refuse to intervene for fear of being second-guessed and prosecuted. Maybe she'll even get a punch to that pouty mug

#9 Can we apply this theory to the actions of the IRS, EPA, BLM, etc.?

Nah, of course not.

#10 Then "who has the authority to arrest" under this theory? They should require her to authorize *all* arrests *personally* if she feels that this authority can't be delegated to the individual "Gang In Blue" police officers.
