Yet again, the transparency here is obvious. Marilyn Mosby doesn’t want to allow a commission to analyze the root cause of the Baltimore homicide rate; why, because -at the core- it’s her earlier activist, anti-cop, decisions that are creating the hostile city culture.
Through her efforts, and those of the predominantly black city leadership, they have created a petri-dish of empowered lawlessness while simultaneously undermining the lawful authority of the police officers who are charged with controlling the chaos.
Progressives of every stripe always attempt to avoid the consequences from their ideological constructs; to include hiding and masking the outcomes.
Baltimore – Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby recently derailed an initiative to bring together city leaders, law enforcement commanders, academics, public health officials and others to identify real-time homicide trends and develop targeted responses — the latest crime-fighting program to falter amid a dramatic spike in violence..
After months of promising unprecedented transparency and collaboration with law enforcement partners, Mosby said she didn’t want to share information that others in the fledgling Baltimore Homicide Review Commission considered critical to success. She said providing information on ongoing cases could compromise investigations or jeopardize the safety of victims and witnesses.
Daniel Webster, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research and the academic chosen to lead the project, said Mosby’s position “really defeated the purpose and it completely took the air out of the whole process, and I notified the police commissioner and mayor’s office and health commissioner that it just wasn’t going to work. … It was incredibly frustrating.”
The Homicide Review Commission, which cost the city nearly $200,000 to get off the ground last year, is based on a model in Milwaukee, where officials say it has helped drive down crime.
It’s a method of digging deeper into “the actual factors that lead to homicides, how much of this is drugs, how much of this is gang conflict, gang-to-gang conflict, how much is generated by substance abuse,” said Webster, who was asked by Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake to lead the Baltimore commission.

While at the same time exaggerating and lying about and just making up out of thin air the "consequences" of ordinary common-sense everyday living.
Global Warming is a good example of this, but anyone can think of a bunch of others.
Just look back to what we told you would happen when you attacked your own police. Those were not predictions.
She is just another in the long line of affirmative action failures
The real reason they won’t participate is that any request for information will expose that they have no information. The first thing Mosby did when she arrived was gut the department of any staff that didn’t support her candidacy.
It would be interesting if police decided to ignore all crime with black victims.
Rudy cleaned up NYC a city the size of the entire state of MD and saved thousands of blacks lives
