In reply to the discussion: FOP calls on prosecutor to recuse herself, defends officers [View all]Jack Rabbit
(45,984 posts)A union is supposed to back up its members, so I get that much. Beyond that, it sounds pretty silly. A healthy man was arrested, put into a police van and came out with a broken spine. Yet Mr. Ryan says the police officers are not responsible.
I suppose Mr. Ryan wants Robert McCulloch brought in from St. Louis County, Missouri to handle the prosecution. He'd find a way to whitewash the facts, put the victim on trial and clear the officers before indictment can be issued, even if it takes the rest of the year to accomplish that.
Ms. Mosby showed how this sort of thing is supposed to be handled. She made a preliminary judgment of the facts as applied to the law and, seeing there were matters for which the police officers involved needed to answer, charged them within two weeks of Mr. Gray's death.
I am confident that Freddie Gray will get the justice that Mike Brown was denied.
