This is the rare case where the prosecutor was basically acting as a defense attorney at a grand jury trial. It's supposed to be the other way around. | ||

Lol makes that statement that the police chief said near the start of this seem even more comically bad. 12 shots sounds like a lot though to me (who has no experience with this type of thing). Go look up the studies on police accuracy firing their weapons under duress. It is "hilariously" bad. | ||

The problem of bad accuracy has been around for a while, I remember when I was younger when that vid of a police officer getting into a fire fight and killed by some random dude he pulled over was a thing because he wasn't ready/good with that type of situation. | ||

Went back and rewound a vid, basically the question was Q: "Your somebody who's had your record questioned my members of the community , how do you feel announcing this decision, What message do you think it sends to the community, they have had numerous, predominantly young black males killed by police with impunity. What message do you think this sends to them?" | ||

The prosecutor has unavoidable biases that have led to him taking extraordinary actions in making sure that the grand jury decides on no charges. The normal indictment rate is over 90%, including cases with far less evidence of wrongdoing. | ||
