Baltimore police officer Robert W. Mitchell faces a second-degree assault charge after police and prosecutors accused him of overstepping his powers and beating a young man more than a year ago.

Batts said in a statement, "and I promise we will continue to aggressively target those who sacrilege the good men and women of this department and the sacred privilege of serving our community.

On a day when the country was draped in black, a little girl wore pink. She looked as pretty as a picture - and became one: The next morning her photo would appear on the front page of more than 45 U.S. newspapers, plus others as far away as Scotland, Brazil and Australia. "It has a kind of painterly quality to it," says Joe Urschel, executive director of the Newseum in Washington. "For a photographer to get that in an unstaged moment is next to impossible." The shot was taken by Spencer Platt, who works for Getty Images and was at Ground Zero in New York City this past Tuesday covering the fifth anniversary of September 11. President Bush was there.
