Doing it right means that we are all treated equally under law. It's kind of a right that we have. That this cop was given an extra helping of ice cream doesn't bode well for that. If I ever find myself having shot someone to death under questionable circumstances I hope the state, and particularly the prosecutorial arm of the state, is ready to go to bat for me -before an actual trial begins-. Somehow...I doubt that this would be the case.
It is, again, not the job of the grand jury to decide whether or not a crime has probably been committed. They decide whether or not there is grounds to prosecute. It's the job of the prosecution..in a trial...to establish that a crime has been committed, and that the defendant is guilty of that crime. The prosecution, in this case, acted as defense counsel -pre trial. That doesn't seem a bit odd to you?
How many times do I have to say this before you get it into your head. I don't think that they would have been able to convict him. Regarding whether or not he did anything that we could convict him for..I just don't see it........as Jenny pointed out, the boys in blue have considerable leeway.
That's not my fucking objection, end of. We do charge people, and prosecute them - and later find that they acted in self defense (for example). It happens. Just didn't happen here, but it could have, and should have...and even the cop would have benefited...hell -only- the cop would have benefited.
