These rogue cops, led by Chief of Police Bernadette DiPino, aren’t put on administrative leave while under criminal investigation. Unheard of! They operate under their own made up laws. That’s your law enforcement people. Wake up!

I'm just saying...I'm not taking sides. Baltimore State Attorney says she needs "probable cause" to bring charges. I beg to differ. As a former prosecutor, a prosecutor brings charges when they believe they can prove the charges to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt.

But I see no reason why she should recuse herself. She's the elected official.
