A Baltimore police sergeant was spat on and kicked during a check, authorities say

Details

WRCB -- Mancuso called for the State's Attorney for Baltimore City, Marilyn Mosby, to "prosecute these assailants to the full extent of the law." In her statement, Mosby vowed to bring the perpetrators in the video to justice. She added that the union's response was "inappropriate political rhetoric" which fanned "the very flames they then call on me to put out." "Their responses are relentlessly divisive, and they seem to lose no opportunity to misplace blame," she said. "The same sense of outrage in this case should be expressed by the leaders of the police union when their officers are convicted of attempted murder, assault, and unlawful arrest against citizens."
