The racially charged incident — Caprio was white and the four teens were black — has set off a "racial firestorm" over what went wrong, but the president of a Baltimore chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police says one person in particular deserves the lion's share of the blame: Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby, who made headlines for her social justice rhetoric following the death of Freddie Gray and her subsequent overcharging of six officers that resulted in all the charges dropped.
In a blistering op-ed published by the Baltimore Sun Friday, Lt. Gene Ryan, president of the Baltimore City Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #3, laid the blame squarely at the feet of Mosby, whose "catch and release" policies, says Ryan, allowed for yet another criminal who had made clear that he was a danger to the community to remain on the street.
"There are fingers being pointed at everyone involved, by everyone involved, and yes, there are disappointments aplenty," Ryan writes. "The failure, however, lies with State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby and her continuing inability to understand the importance that her office plays in combating crime in Baltimore City."
