are they going to keep trying this cop over and over until they get a conviction? or will the Federales step in now?

That's probably what JE$$E would want. And if they don't eventually find him guilty the resulting riots will be warranted.

No Justice, No Peace...ya know.

It's ridiculous rhey want a verdict that there looking for so they will keep trying him over and over...Just like the Cops in Simi Valley there not looking for another L.A riot

Bad Guys seem to always win.

No, until they get a verdict.

You ask a good question because that is exactly what happened to the LAPD officers who arrested RAK. They were acquited in the state trial and subsequently convicted in a Federal Court of "depriving" poor Rodney of his civil rights. My guess is that the Inglewood Officer will not be tried by the Feds because unlike the RAK officers he at least was not acquited.

Nevertheless, Ashcroft and Bush will agree in a minute to have him tried in Federal Court if they think Bush can get more votes in California than he would by not trying him. It's all about votes. It is because of votes that Medicare now has a prescription drug plan courtesy of the "fiscally conservative strict constructionist" Republicans. By the same token "Law and Order" Republicans would have no trouble feeding a young police officer to the wolves if they thought it would would garner them some extra votes.
