When 12 shots are fired at an unarmed man, that's not self defense; that's an intent to kill.<br /><br />But likely this "physical evidence" was dismissed since the officer, prosecutor, and 3/4 of the jury were all white and the dead man is black.

We're not privy to actual facts, just to media facts the Nancy Grace-like reporting who make up our minds for us. It's a dangerous road. <br /><br />I wouldn't be as so bold to say I knew what went on or that he's guilty. <br /><br />I do think that police officer will have to watch his back, but if he ends up dead, then whomever kills or injures him is no better of a person than how he has been perceived. If the justice system doesn't work in your favor you don't / can't take the law into your own hands. <br /><br />Lately, we, as a country, think convictions should be by popular vote and that we all have a say, and that is fucked up.
