Baltimore Police investigating video of man with a gun taunting officer, who stands calmly and takes no action

The video circulated shortly after Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby announced her office would continue to dismiss or not prosecute cases for a variety of crimes, including attempted drug distribution, prostitution, trespassing, open containers and minor traffic offenses. Her office had stopped taking these cases at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and prosecutors have dismissed 1,400 criminal cases and a similar number of warrants.
