I have no idea what happened, however after just watching live on CNN, it seems to me they are throwing the officer involved under the bus, going to let a grand jury decide??

So the officer gets no rights? NOT suggesting cops can do no wrong, I was roughed around once in my life by them and was totally innocent, but having said that, it sounds like under the bus for the officer involved for the sake of the day.

isn't that the way it usually works? the grand jury decides if there's enough evidence to goto trial???

I don’t think the problem is the officer having no rights. I think the problem is that the deceased has friends who were eyewitnesses who are talking. The police are saying virtually nothing.

If it were a political campaign, we’d say one candidate is letting the other candidate define him very early in the race.

The police need to speak up and get their fellow officer’s story out there, and especially about what took place at the door/window of the police car and at the time when the deceased is said to fled, the officer pursued, and there were a number of shots.

As it stands, the lack of info being put out by the police is making them look in the wrong.
