Much has been said and covered by the news media in regard to the recent decisions from a St. Louis County and New York grand juries not to indict police officers in the separate deaths of two subjects by the police officers involved. In both cases it appears media coverage on the issue seems to fan the flames of an African-American male being unlawfully killed at the hands of the police, attempting to depict the actions as part of a larger injustice imposed on African-Americans by an irresponsible justice system. Protesters, ignoring the established method in the country of examining evidence prior to ANYONE’S prosecution, called for the heads of the officers based on the court of public opinion demanding they be jailed for “murder.”
