Ted,

You seem to have reached a new low in understanding how our CJ system works. In large part, with high profile cases, the side that can trot out the best "dream team" (See OJ) usually wins the case. And the sooner that team can start obfuscating the facts and throwing baseless accusations at the other side the better. That's why the folks who agree with the officer are getting him a slush fund to help pay a top-flight team of attorneys. He doesn't need them when YOU decide you've seen enough evidence to support the officer; he needed them YESTERDAY. He needs a legal team in place to start tossing legal bombs back at the other side. Additionally, your understanding of the use of deadly force is skewed badly. I would hope you were never on a jury where I was the defendant and a Peace Officer. You're dangerously naive.
