You reawakened me with the prospect of a trial or acquittal. Dear Lord. Somebody needs to reach out to Hillary again.

While Druff has latched on to the unions I think you and I are closer with the failure of prosecutors to want to engage the police.

Again, prosecutors and the police are normally team mates. They need to work together with evidence etc etc. The process kinda doesn’t work as constructed. Never has. Cops get off.

I don’t know what the solution is except an attack dog on staff at the state level. Someone who is literally willing to take a bullet. Good luck with the courage thing. Hollywood has made numerous movies about this shit.

That the police don’t get charged or punished isn’t a union issue. I’m kinda thinking $12/hr cops or subcontracting Police isn’t the correct road either.
And there is 4 of them. From what I read, two are like straight out of the academy where a jury might understand why they deferred to a superior and the one guy is the one who suggested they roll him onto his side to assist his breathing, but these riots are when those other two guys might possibly be overcharged given their lack of experience and one attempting to somewhat intervene. When I read the accounts, he seemed far else culpable than the others. Good luck explaining that to the mob if he is given any leniency.

If that main guy walked, you’re talking full on destabilization and civil/race war and I don’t think that’s hyperbole.
