How A Prosecutor Managed To Blame A 12-Year-Old For Getting Killed By A Cop - HuffPo

[Takket]

12. here's the deal with stories like this.........

The prosecutors are corrupted by racism and fear of the cops themselves. In what proportion is up for debate.

These people deal with cops day in and day out and sending a cop to prison would make their job difficult if not impossible. Look how bad it got for Deblasio just because he made a comment about being worried about his own children. Imagine what a living hell it would be if he actually got a cop convicted and sent to prison??????

So the problem isn't just the prosecutors, it is the dysfunctional Grand Jury system that allows them to even rig the process in the first place. to make the criminal justice service work there is a "marriage" between the police that investigate crimes and the DA's office that prosecutes the accused. Asking one to work against the other is like asking a wife to prosecute her own husband, and you expect a non-biased and impartial result??????????

There should be an independent federal commission with lawyers whose sole purpose is to take part in the Grand jury system for cases involving police officers. That way you don't have a local prosecutor, at the mercy of local voters, who has "skin in the game" as to what outcome he/she would prefer.
