Good think we have "due process" to protect people against those who think that jailing 1 innocent man is worth it. Oh wait...there's that combo of words again, due process. Hmmmmm... what is that? IDK, guess it means jailing 1 innocent man of said crime to save others. pUBLiC SAfEtY meh meh meh.
Good thing there was no strike or walk off. Hope this happens again and again.
Blackstone's RatioIt is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.The reverse is not "utilitarian." It's injustice.
Maybe it's better that ten "peaceful protestors" be shot than several innocent Cops be railroaded and sent to prison?
Using unjust prosecutions to quell civil unrest is like sending your oldest child to reform school so the other children stop arguing with him.
Punish the law breakers (protestor causing damage and injuries), and stop demonizing Cops.
Most of the protests are sparked by Social Media. Maybe go after the news agencies and content providers who post misinformation and lies that incite unrest
before the facts are actually made public.
The rush to "scoop" a big story while spinning it as another race-related Police-on-Black-person incident should not override reasoning and responsible journalism.
There's no better term for a story that gets massive clicks than "viral." That's what we've devolved into.
