There was no other way to defuse than to unleash the kangaroos.
But isn’t this just delaying the inevitable?
Some of these cops will be convicted...but some of them won’t. And there will be more riots.
And since the trials will be national spectacles, the riots will spill over into other cities.
Besides the obvious moral issues at play, if the prosecutor was at all interested in reducing rioting, shouldn’t she have only charged the officers she reasonably believes could be successfully convicted?

Well, you COULD come down hard enough on the first batch of rioters so that it would sink into the rest that they shouldn’t riot.
But that’s not really an option in this day and age, unless the rioters are white Christians.
Which of course they never are.
