The Baltimore cops who were immediately charged in the van death of Freddie Gray have been found innocent by various court decisions, but they are not about to ride off into the sunset.
Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby made an historic speech immediately after Gray's death, during which she lashed out at the cops and promised the Black community that she would get justice. This happened without a shred of evidence and before any investigation had been conducted.
Now, two of the cops are taking her to court for defamation of character and invasion of privacy. The suit alleges Mosby knew the charges were trumped up, but filed them anyway to quell the
riots that had ravaged the city. You can only begin to imagine the legal costs the cops incurred, the loss of income and the public humiliation they were subjected to.
Mosby should be disbarred.
