You ever wonder, watching those Black Mirror episodes how society got where it did?
It's apparent; society got fucking tired of the broken system. And the only way to know if a new system will work is to get rid of the old.
Keep it up, conservatives, you're creating your own future doom.
I don't, nor ever will value "trial by media". There is a huge difference between stating the obvious, and the video in this case was obvious, and at the same time valuing the concept of "innocent till proven guilty in a court of law." No matter what I personally think of that officer, I value the concept of the right to a lawyer, and I fully expect his lawyer to do their job. It is still ultimately up to a jury regardless of my personal feelings. I'd also expect any juror who ends up on that jury to go in neutral and only go by the evidence.
I want a fair trial for him so in case he is convicted it will be virtually impossible to overturn the verdict on appeal.
But realistically long term we do need to change our system of training "fear first, assume the worst and shoot first, and dominate the situation."
