In keeping with the mission of "Truth To The Masses," and in light of many of the mistruths and misinformation floating around on social media; portions of James MacArthur's upcoming book, Innocence Isn't Free, will be released in this space. Article below is a sampling of the widespread, popular support for MacArthur. Many in media choose to conveniently ignore this, as the campaign to minimize and malign one man continues. - Ed.

Often first on scene, MacArthur has a long legacy of
breaking stories before mainstream mass media.

I would like to add a few issues that are central to this case and never get addressed in the press. First, James is a well-respected journalist in Baltimore and provides a service that is found in no other media in Baltimore.....holds the police and City Hall responsible for what most people understand is criminal and corrupt behavior.
That is after all the mission of FREE PRESS.
What we do not hear in this case is that the police came to this man's door with no warrant or intent. They knocked on the door and James chose not to answer because.....and this is my assumption....he feared for his life. Remember, we have had in Baltimore 17 people killed by police that were later found to have no weapon or no criminal act.
