America! You are about to experience the power of Black Women.

"If three black women at three different levels of government can't get justice for Freddy Gray?
I don't know what else to tell you". Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.

She was referring to the newly appointed AG, State Prosecutor Marilyn Mosby and herself the Mayor.

Don't think for one moment that her job is a cakewalk.

the fact that she was able to have her own investigative team is even more impressive, it shows she cannot
be allowed to be blind sided by anyone, in fact she just bulldozed through the blue wall, destroyed it.

Now they're going to claim that they can't get a fair trial in Baltimore and request a change of venue solely because of that statement but that was probably your intention anyway.

By the way, I want justice for Freddy and every victim of police brutality. I don't give a shit about the race of the prosecutor, mayor, judge, etc, etc.

That gives her lots of cred. Good for her for getting this right.
