What’s a single policy Bates would implement that Mosby didn’t?

Well, it’s kind of hard to compare, because Bates has a 20-page explainer on his ideas of what to do and how to do it, complete with charts and statistics and addressing topics that range from firearms possession to vacant housing to drug court. So I’ll post a link to that. Meanwhile, I’ll just copy and paste Mosby’s crime plan here because it’s so brief and generic, and this is the only thing I can even find on her campaign site that talks about fighting crime rather than police or reducing sentences:

https://www.batesforbaltimore.com/_files/ugd/fd0924_ddf2d274c66c4eb49d0fa71ea720ff50.pdf

“In the past seven years, the State’s Attorney’s Office has maintained a 90% conviction rate on average for violent offenses, an average 88% conviction rate for mandatory minimum eligible cases, and a 92% conviction rate for violent repeat offenders, all of which matches or surpasses the conviction rates of her predecessors over the ten years prior to her taking office. Mosby has aggressively focused her prosecutors on targeting violent criminals by creating a Gun Violence Enforcement Division that targets violent criminals and the totality of their activities rather than just their violent acts, and a Criminal Strategies Unit that uses data and long-term intelligence gathering in partnership with BPD detectives to target the most heinous criminals in our city.”

My partners bf went to jail twice for violent crimes and was released shortly after both times under Mosby's rule. He just recently did the same thing he did to my gf to a new girl and he went to jail for a month before being released again. Some of it is his parents money and the other part is he's white and pulls the I've changed card while manipulating everyone around him. Adam Cook is a garbage human being.

Mosby is shit and was too busy trying to get more money to buy beach houses with. Thank yall for voting her out.

Bates might be able to at least put together a halfway functional office.
