The Criminal Justice System

One criminal trial - or the lack thereof - does not determine the state of a nation. All kinds of things happen in court. OJ was acquitted. George Zimmerman was acquitted. The guy who shot teens over loud music at a gas station will be locked away for decades. These things go all over the place.

 I am sympathetic to the fact that minorities are often the victims of an unfair shake in the legal system, but that doesn't mean that every cop is guilty. 

 I didn't follow the Ferguson trial closely, but a grand jury spent a lot of time going over the evidence and the testimony. Sometimes the legal system makes grievous errors. And sometimes, they get it right, but the truth isn't very popular.
