..."I come from five generations of law enforcement.

I can tell you that the actions of these officers will not and should not, in any way, damage the important working relationships between police and prosecutors as we continue to fight together to reduce crime in Baltimore. Thank you for your courage, committee and sacrifice for the betterment of the community."...
As soon as she announced her findings the city of Baltimore decompressed and returned to their lives which included cleaning up the place where CVS once stood.
When people criticize her office, they have no reason to do so. She was obviously in control of the facts. She didn't rely on the police investigation to find the facts in the case. The backlash against Ms. Moby is inappropriate. It is gender discrimination.
Ms. Mosby's office was able to conduct their investigation in the same time frame as the police department conducted theirs. The police investigation was announced by a man. When the Baltimore State Attorney's findings were announced it was by a woman.
Prince was scheduled to appear in Baltimore long before the death of Freddie Gray. Prince didn't know Mr. Gray.

Devoted fans (click here) like Luther Washington said Prince's "Rally 4 Peace" concert Sunday was just what Baltimore needed to heal after massive protests shook the city in recent weeks.
Outside Royal Farms Arena, Washington was part of a celebratory crowd of thousands who waited peacefully for the doors to open.
Washington and his wife, Beate — who paid about $200 apiece for floor seats to the show — felt the expensive tickets were worth the price to see the mercurial and unpredictable artist, who pledged a portion of the proceeds would go to Baltimore-based youth charities....
When Prince realized he was coming to Baltimore shortly after the death of Freddie Gray he named the concert "Rally 4 Peace." Rather typical generosity for someone like him.
Ms. Mosby and others were somewhat necessary to be at the concert. It was a concert to benefit Baltimore and she was a significant person and would bring the understanding this was for the people of Baltimore.
She was invited on stage by Prince and quite appropriately she obliged the request. I am sure it was a very important point in the concert. If it were me I'd be floating in air to be on the same stage as Prince. I would have been certain my feet weren't touching the ground regardless of anyone saying otherwise.
I congratulate Prince for his love of people and bringing such a momentous concert to Baltimore. It was a good thing. I also thank Ms. Mosby for being accommodatingly generous for her participation at the concert. It was also a good thing. I congratulate Baltimore for coming to terms with violence and resolving to achieve a better outcome for their city and themselves. The criticism of Prince, Baltimore or Ms. Mosby is completely out of line.
