The press and the Baltimore Police Union are trying to discredit these indictments as "Rush to Justice".

But the State's Attorney has publicly discussed her independent use
of State Police investigators (separate from the Baltimore Police Dept)
starting the day after the death of Freddie Gray, and that she waited
for the Baltimore Police Dept and the Pathologist's reports before
issuing the indictments.

So, her indictments are independent- and time-separated
from whatever went on during the city's investigations and report.

Certainly she was elected recently by significant support from the Black community.
But she has the credibility to completely turn around what was a riot/demonstration
against the Baltimore police into peaceful and welcome community supported demonstration.

And here they are.
But but but half of them are black!
That's why I've been saying, the problem is not white, the problem is not black, the problem is BLUE.

That seems a little too black & white.

Racism was never about (limited to) color of skin. Racism has always been about judging someone only on a first impression.
