I agree. If law enforcement and the prosecutor had been a little more judicious in making arrests and filing charges in the wake of the incident, they might have had a good chance of getting some actual bad guys off the streets. I do it doubt that there were serious crimes committed that day by a very few people.

However, the police and prosecutor’s “arrest them all and let God sort them out” policy, followed by their stubborn refusal to reassess their approach to the whole affair, really hurt their chances of bringing any real criminals to justice, in my opinion.

Should have been: “I do not doubt...”

I reassert my assessment that they detirmined that they could not afford to go to trial with any case whatsoever by about three hours after the shooting stopped. All the kabuki show - mass arrest, high bails, etc have been a shell game to buy time in order to reduce the damage from wrongful death liability.

Reyna really thought all that crap would persuade somebody to cop a plea, and he had to buy time to breathe in case video footage surfaced which the police thought deleted at the scene.
