Anyone watch CNN earlier today?

My wife got stuck watching it in a waiting room and there was CNN hyping up the possible Mosby bias --lives in the community, cousin accidently shot--thinking he was a drug dealer, the campaign contrbutions.


Then they started talking about how she "rush the charges" and how there TOO many charges. That she was over reaching and the charge were bought to soon. That she didn't get all the evidence from the police investigation.



It feels like the media is trying to cause a train wreck in justice.

1. The subtext is that no black person can be unbiased in these cases

which is utterly ridiculous considering how "unbiased" a largely white justice system has historically been.

2. I don't see living in the community a bias, personally

I think we'd see a lot less of these things if more of the cops actually lived in the communities they police.

I don't know about the cousin, haven't heard that but she received campaign contributions from the FOP and she comes from a long line of police officers... if anything she probably leans to close to the police than in favor of.

The police, indeed, are not happy they didn't get to play a larger roll in the charges being brought and have claimed their investigation wasn't completed. However, she has her own investigative team and they felt their evidence warranted charges. Police will always complain about people bringing charges against their brother's in blue no matter how harsh or light.

Some on DU say she over-charged, I wouldn't know, it's been a long time since I studied the law but I can't imagine she brought charges she didn't think she could support.

The media, particularly CNN, like to stir the pot and they often get it wrong.

3. Going by the logic that she lives in the community and that would mean EVERY State's AG can't live

in the state they serve.
