Incidentally, the police officers were acquitted by jury, not judge. And Albany is not a non-diverse locale, not even back then.
How about some other questions, as to why did Diallo flee and why did he pull anything out of his pocket?
Did 4 NYPD detectives gun down an unarmed man or not? Yes - No
Did the City agree to a $3,000,000 payoff to the deceased family? Yes - No
Did the 4 cops who killed that guy ever face any serious consequences? Yes - No.
