it was a horrible horrible tragedy. the fact he was seriously mentally ill and the video/audio and all was really difficult. .. but i see what you're saying, and also, the problem involves a judicial system that favors cops. not saying i understand all i know about that part or that it's thoroughly out of whack, nevertheless, maybe a few cop convictions can get things going in the right direction.
