1. Add me to the line of cynics genuinely surprised that the entire book seems to be getting thrown at these officers. Not only was one of them charged with murder โ€” which, while (somewhat) vindicating, still stings to see โ€” they were also charged with false imprisonmentโ€ฆwhich stings even more. Basically, they grabbed Freddie Gray off the street โ€” kidnapped him, basically โ€” and murdered himโ€ฆfor no reason. And this wasn't a quick or "clean" death. His spine was severed, and he spent seven days incapacitated before finally dying.

Although it's been said already, I'm going to say it again. Fuck these motherfuckers.

2. Marilyn Mosby is a very attractive woman. Watching this almost feels like watching an actress play a lawyer instead of an actual lawyer. This could have beenย a scene from Suits.

3. Is anyone having a better 2015 than the kick-ass Black female lawyer? It's already been confirmed that Michele Roberts is bringing the fire next time to the NBA.ย ย And between her, our new attorney general, Mosby, and Kamala Harris (and others I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention), there are a bunch of high-profile kick-ass Black female lawyers who happen to be doing some high-profile kick-ass shit right now, and I'm here for it. Because where the hell else would you rather be when a bunch of bad Black lawyer chicks announce "I'm here to chew bubblegum and kick assโ€ฆand I'm all out of bubble gum" than wherever the hell they happened to be?
