what I find scary or depressing is that nearly everyone has tried and
convicted every one of the officers. but then again, I suppose we, the
public already did get a fair, unbiased, unglorified media report
presenting both sides of the story.
I hope with my kids, I will be less likely to judge so quickly even if
looking on one side stacks up against them. I find the tapes damning,
but if 12 people unanimously saw such a moving video but found reasonable
doubt from the defense, I will reserve judgement on the judgement until
I know I've heard that evidence too.
