Uh huh. And I suppose the threat of future embarassment would have mollified the nice people who were tearing things up and headed toward the cops with makeshift clubs....

Lest you get on too high a horse here, the girl's death was an ACCIDENT, and a freak accident at that.

Seeing a riot on TV where the perpetrators were later punished might make people think twice about putting themselves in that sort of situation in the future. It obviously won't have any effect until after it is tried.

Yes an accident, caused by police incompetence. What is clear is that the police intended to cause serious physical harm to someone and that they apparently DID NOT KNOW that the weapon they used could kill.

They also apparently missed their intended target and hit an innocent bystander. Perhaps they need more training? or perhaps they simply need to be told to aim before pulling the trigger? Who knows?

What is clear is that this was an accident that didn't need to happen.
