living with guilt is a very small price to pay , thats why they don't sentence people to look in the mirror .
everyone , ask yourselves a question : if your friends and or family were in that car and died/got shot , would you still think all the cops are completely innocent ? what if one of the cops continued to fire after everyone else stopped ? what if you were in that car ?

Lots of "what ifs" in that post...Why is it that these things are always an issue when the victim is a minority? I mean, even when 2/3 of the cops were the same ethnicity, it's still a big issue because the victim is a minority.
Another thing I always see after these trials is the influx of couch potato legal experts. Of course some people would think differently if they were family members. That's called emotional bias. That's why people are not tried by the family/friends of the victims.
