It hasn’t been a good day for the Baltimore Fraternity Order of Police Lodge 3 (FOP). The police union published a public letter this morning that asked State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby to assign a special prosecutor to investigate Freddie Gray’s death and included a subtle threat to the political career of her husband, City Councilman Nick Mosby, only to have Marilyn Mosby announce charges against six officers a few minutes later.
