Drop All Baltimore Drug Charges Following Video of Multiple Cops Planting Evidence

Twice in the past two weeks, body cam footage has emerged to show Baltimore police officers planting drugs in order to frame people of color for a crime. 

Though each of those charges was subsequently dropped, it's becoming apparent that this problem is systemic rather than isolated. How can the public and the courts trust that any of the charges are legitimate at this point, particularly after the Department of Justice found the city's police to be woefully discriminatory and disinterested in fixing its problems? 

That's why we're calling on Marilyn Mosby to drop all ongoing drug charges in the city, due to the lack of credibility from Baltimore PD. Not only is the war on drugs pretty racist/classist anyway, but the department must demonstrate it can be honest and fair in dealing with the community before it can send people to jail on the value of an officer's word.

Dropping all drug charges puts pressure on the police to improve their behavior and practices if they want any of their charges to stick in the future. Please, Ms. Mosby, put the pressure on the Baltimore police to more seriously address these alarming problems once and for all.
