Go back and read. I said you sounded like a Ferguson protestor. I didn't put a label on you. There is a big difference between the two. I tell you my story because there are people on FR that have an acute sense of the fundamentals of the criminal justice system, not only shaped by academics, but by experience.

If you don't appreciate that, you are an idiot.

My main point goes back to this thread—Winston is a thug and not worth it for any team in the NFL. He’s trouble and his decisions produce that trouble.

I understand the media will paint whatever picture suites their narrative. Happens all the time which is why FReepers HATE the media.

My personal experience with the criminal justice system is to avoid it at all costs. Juries don’t pay attention to details anymore and make decisions based on emotion—that’s exactly what lawyers want.
