Sticking with the public cases where we do know many of the facts, I'd say the criminal justice system got it right in Ferguson, Staten Island, and Alabama. As much as you like convictions for the sake of convictions, the forensic and video evidence supports the criminal justice outcomes for the cops in the Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases. The cop in Alabama was fired and is being prosecuted but they have not had the trial yet. I don't think the cops did anything wrong regarding Taraji Henson's son.
If the police got it right in Alabama, why was the officer involved arrested and charged? I'm sorry, I'm not following you. Wouldn't the fact that the officer involved was arrested and charged indicate that something might be amiss with his actions? Rob
