My biggest fear was that the Policing powers in our flawed, yet beautiful country gained a martial law privilege through a grand jury precedent to conduct a fatal action against an unarmed assailant. These agents of the Law are not required to receive a public court examination for what potentially could be criminal behavior against the populous. We are likely to see crimes involving Police streamlined through the Grand Jury process because this precedent eliminates any wrong doing by said officer during moments of apprehension and all precedents must be followed unless ruled as unlawful. We just watched the play-by-play delivery of this martial law privilege be handed over to local law enforcement. Then, it was followed by the populous peaceful and violent reactions that dont address the larger issues or even chip one iota of power away from the powers that issued the precedent in full HD. This grand jury precedent doesnt benefit anyone in this country, except those that can execute it at will. Lets put race aside, and work on fixing the new grand jury precedent, which gave policing powers a big inch that potentially can turn into an even bigger mile. We have very little government power as outside players, lets not lose more of it. Lets talk about solutions.
