They are officers of the court first and foremost, and advocates for the state second. That is why so many attorneys called for the head of the DA in Florida after the extent of the evidence in the Trayvon Martin case came to light. Please. If they had evidence that completely exonerated him there wouldn't have even been a grand jury. There is no exonerating evidence to bury. It's a complicated case that should involve the weighing of evidence by a jury, not the decision of a DA to apologize for a cop. The man acted as his defense attorney laying out the evidence that it was self defense. | ||

charge the guy with anything so he gets his day in court, even if you know he will be cleared down the way. Everybody is somewhat happy and you dont need the army, the fbi and military grade riot police to contain the shitquake. take the story of this 12 years old kid who got shot in a Cleveland park by the cops because he had a fucking toygun. the people has to have the impression those guys are held accountable, even if the system doesnt  | ||

I just feel so sorry for that community and the kids family. even if they put all the Ferguson cops in jail forever, innocent kids still dead. | ||
