It's called due process and it's enshrined in the US Constitution:
"Nor shall any person...be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law"
This is why the "riters" are demanding justice.
I find it curious that the young man accused of setting off terrorist bombs last Saturday in New York City, who also shot 2 police officers as he was being apprehended, was somehow arrested and taken to jail without being killed but citizens who have their hands up in the air get shot and killed by the police.
b....uuuuttt... Doesn't due process include all of the rules and regulations concerning and arrest or detention by a police officer? Meaning 'Due Process' includes provisions that allow police officers the immediate right to defend themselves and other from people who intend them harm. Essentially a citizen waives his right to due process when he makes himself an immediate threat to anyone elses' right to live.
Or rather so says the 14th amendment according to this well written article..
