I'm a little tired, so I apologize for this being my only comment to contribute:
I thought the belt buckle of the cop in the cartoon was supposed to be the tip of his penis - I really had to look at it for a minute until I realized it's his belt buckle. D'oh.

i'm cautiously optimistic right now. we'll see how it plays out, but it's going to be a huge uphill battle.

I was just thinking the same thing. I've seen so many law enforcement officers and vigilantes get charged but then have prosecution throw the trial by acting as part of the defense team that I can't get my hopes up. However, it sounds like Mosby's laying enough charges to get some to stick and I'm happy that she pointed out that the knife was legal and there was no probable cause to arrest Gray.
