Time for this one to go "home" for the rest of his life. Better that be in ten minutes.

I can say its about time a prosecutor went after cops! Even if it is this chick. We all know that Matt would have his hands full here. Remember.... We all break the law in one way or another. It's inevitable. Their are laws we don't know even exist. However police know the law. And if not shouldn't be a cop. They are just like us as well. They will break the law. Only thing is they have buddies to help them and the know how to get away with it. And let's face it. No body ever thinks about a cop being criminal. So they are the perfect criminals. They should be held to higher standards and harsher punishments.

She's got to have a white man to publicly crucify in case the ones in the Freddie Geay case are found not guilty.

ALL criminals regardless of race need to be prosecuted.

Where have you been 11:40. The problem with you people is that you are so uninformed that it is sickening to those of us who are intelligent and well informed.
Now let me make one thing clear to you, so listen up so you don't say what you just posted in public and make a fool out of yourself-FYI each and everyday in this country (and it's been that way always do you understand) cops are arrested and charged with crimes they commit both while on duty and off including murder.
This only seems like a new phenomenon to people like you who are uneducated and ill informed.
If I sound harsh-too bad. It's time someone told you people how it is and not what some with an agenda want you to believe. Now wise up and don't ever make such an ignorant uninformed statement ever again. Do you understand because now if you say it again it will be lying since you've been informed.

The problem is why did it take 8 months for charges to be filed and the victim is on the record (to the Sun paper yesterday) as saying the officer was only doing his job. The whole Sun interview certainly had Mosby's office in a panic. Johansen not only said he was doing his job but that he didn't want to see the officer go to prison.
It probably would have been a good idea for the SA's office to have actually have interviewed Johansen before filing charges.
Officer was also cleared in an internal investigation.
The other problem is anyone who believes anything out of Mosby's mouth isn't too bright since she's been caught red handed in so many lies relating to the Freddie Gray case.

Since when? You idiot. You just like the sound of your keyboard going nuts under your nose picking fingers. Cops have never been targets after their crimes. Not until recently. Why do you think the fan is spreading manure these days?

Baltimore does not want Police Officers. They want Louis Farrakhan, "Nation of Islam", and the "New Black Panthers" in charge and the Liberal DemocRATS will have the "Police" force they want. Then all businesses would be out of Baltimore and the Orioles would have no attendance along with the Inner Harbor and the Aquarium.
