Law enforcement officers are brought before a jury in only 1.5% of officer-involved homicide cases. The eye witness testimony should be more than compelling enough for the officers involved to be tried in a courtroom. Law enforcement should be held to the same standards as the civilians they are sworn to serve and protect. No person is above the law.
We want to see these officers tried before a jury as any civilian would be in the same circumstance. The innocence or guilt of these officers should be decided by a jury. This is the only way we see justice being served.


Uhhh...I'm pretty sure you have to be indicted before you are tried for a felony. Are you sure you want to do away with the Grand Jury system? I know it's all the rage right now in Ferguson, St.Louis and Baltimore.

For the record, "homicide" is not a crime.
