Kudos to @BaltimoreSAO Marilyn Mosby for taking the time to provide a detailed response to Gov. Hogan’s lazy & cheap attempt to target her for the out of control homicide rate in #Baltimore. Hogan’s playbook is a familiar one. baltimore.cbslocal.com/wp-content/upl…
I remember when then-Mayor O’Malley did the same to SA Pat Jessamy. It’s low-hanging fruit.
And now there’s a refreshed playbook being used against Black women prosecutors elected on a reform platform with a dangerous new tactic - taking away authority over their cases. It’s supposed to suggest incompetence of the Black women prosecutor. And supposed to humiliate her.
Happened to Aramis Ayala in FL and Kim Gardner in St. Louis. Anyone dealing responsibly w Baltimore knows that the homicide rate is the result of an array of interlocking dysfunctions.If the Gov really wanted to help he would have responded to Mosby’s attempts to meet.
Read Mosby’s letter. And pay attention to the attacks on progressive prosecutors around the country.
