Baltimore State Attorney General, Marilyn Mosby,  is a hero. She deserves our praise for her heroic fight for justice for Freddie Gray. But alas, she is not getting the credit for so brave a fight. From the outset loud, vociferous, and influential critics attacked her mercilessly for prosecuting the killer cops. She fully understood that one does not just capitulate to injustice, but one fights it, win or lose. Baltimore city should be proud to have an Attorney General that will fight the system and  the powerful establishment on behalf of the least among us.

Donald Trump and his ilk want to discredit her in order to sabotage the fight against the rampant  injustice to blacks, not only  here in Baltimore, but all over America.  We cannot allow these forces to get away with that. It is time for us to rise up and show support for our brave States Attorney General. Our battle for justice for Freddie Gray is not over. We must rally again in huge numbers in support of Attorney General Marilyn Mosby. I call upon Baltimore leaders to do their stuff and  organize  this.  Don’t stand by and let them crucify her.

This case is filled with irony. If six men chased down some unarmed man and viciously beat him to death, they would have been arrested, and convicted in an open and shut case, without question. But as in the Freddie Gray murder, if the six were cops……

So far, the only people convicted of a crime are the individuals who were driven to riot because of their frustration with such blatant injustice, while the perpetrators, the killer  cops,  go free.

Now, besides going free, the cops are suing. In other words, the cops not only get-off for killing Freddie Gray, but now they stand to make money for doing it. The killer of Trayvon Martin made money online for that killing too.

To quote William Shakespeare, “Oh justice, thou hast fled to brutish beasts and men have lost their reason!”
