When the five cops were acquitted in the Rodney King beating, the Bush Justice Dept. rushed to indict them and get them convicted and imprisoned on violations of federal civil rights laws. If the “citizens” of San Francisco who served on this jerkpot jury saw to release this trash into society, the feds should use the King case as an example, arrest him before he can get across the border.
The Rodney King cops were charged with violating King’s civil rights under color of law, pursuant to 42 USC 1983.
The scumbag who killed Kate Steinle was not acting under color of law.

EXACTLY. Charge him with violating Steinle’s civil rights. What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
