Baltimore Police Sue Marilyn Mosby For ‘Malicious Prosecution’


Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby will face a slew of new counts, including malicious prosecution and false arrest in a lawsuit brought by two Baltimore cops, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.

Sgt. Alicia White and Officer William Porter, two officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray, filed suit May 2 against Mosby and Maj. Sam Cogen of the Baltimore Sheriff’s office for defamation and invasion of privacy. The suit alleges Mosby and Cogen knew the charges were trumped up, but filed them anyway to quell the riots that had ravaged the city

Michael Glass, the lawyer for the officers in the suit, told The Daily Caller News Foundation that he plans to amend the lawsuit to include “likely a count of malicious prosecution, false arrest, false imprisonment, violation of the Maryland declaration of rights, article 24 and 26.” He said the they’re currently working on modifying the complaint, and the changes will be official in the next few weeks, likely by the end of June.

“These six officers were essentially sacrificed,” Glass told TheDCNF. “Alicia White, she’s accused of murder, she never touched Mr. Gray.”

The recent persecution and attempted prosecution of police officers in various cities for simply doing their jobs is dangerous, and could lead to chaos in the streets if police feel indicted every time they arrest a black person. So it is nice to see that the political panderers in Baltimore will get a taste of the same medicine. Let’s hope this will send a message to such “public servants” to let them know that second guessing police will bring the possibility of turnabout and retribution. It is true that there are racist cops, but that is the tiny minority.  The balance of police officers are trying to do their job and keep society civil and the public safe. Let’s let them do their job and stop the constant second guessing and blaming when things don’t go exactly right.
