I doubt they have an inside track. Remember the OJ verdict? LA police officers were put on 12-hour shifts and they had 100 mounted police officers at the LA county courthouse, with the idea that if he were convicted of the murders, there would be riots like there had been in 1992. He was found not-guilty, meaning there was a big expense for the city that didn't end up being necessary.

I still say take LE out of the equation.... stand down the nasty guard, and keep the cops at the station, or at home. Tell the community to clean up their own mess. It would also convince "outside agitators" to stay home next time.... the few survivors, anyway.

He knows what every other person with a brain knew from the start, the people in power in that state would never allow a white cop to be indicted for killing a black man, whether the black man was armed or not. It was just not going to happen, NEVER! And with the prosecutor they have, never means never.

Has it occured to you that the officer was actually innocent of wrongdoing and or even if indicted he's still innocent until proven guilty? NEVER!
