“To the people of Baltimore and demonstrators across America, I heard your call for ‘No justice, No peace,’” Mosby said. “Your peace is sincerely needed as I work to deliver justice on behalf of this young man.”

The long journey for justice for Freddie Gray starts now and three black women are on a mission with Mosby leading the legal movement.

“To the rank-and-file officers of the Baltimore City police department, please know that these accusations of these six officers are not an indictment on the entire force,” Mosby said. “I come from five generations of law enforcement. My father was an officer; my mother was an officer; several of my aunts and uncles. My recently departed and beloved grandfather was one of the founding members of the first Black police organization in Massachusetts.”

Meanwhile, former Maryland Gov. Robert Ehrlich told Fox News that “justice is blind” and implied that Mosby was only interested in justice for Black people. Ehrlich also said he was concerned about more rioting once the officers are put on trial.

Ehrlich’s comment comes as a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll on Monday shows that Americans are bracing for a summer of racial disturbances around the country after the riots in Baltimore last week. The poll showed that 96% of adults surveyed said it was likely there would be additional racial disturbances this summer and underscored the deep racial divide about why the urban violence started.

So while Americans continue to sort out their racial differences, three no-nonsense African American women in top leadership roles are positioned at this moment in history to investigate how Freddie Gray died in police custody, following the evidence wherever it leads, and bringing closure to a family in grief.

Coincidence? I don’t think so.
