This will work to the advantage of those that are now fanning the race flames, and want to see BIG flash points for November and 2016. Actually, works well especially for 2016.
There will be a trial, it will now get national coverage. A sequestered jury, immersed in the evidence, finds the cop innocent. Further inflaming race riots, say around summer of 2015. Just in time for the fall 2016 campaign.
The truth is that it will push those who have had enough of these “flash points” to vote for those who are the most no nonsense rule of law folks and it will backfire big on those who want to fan the flames of division in 2014 and even more so in 2016.
