If he was acquitted then he has to be treated as innocent, lest our justice system becomes an avenue for the exact type of crime you’re decrying.
- cratermoon 2y agoYou might be under the mistaken impression that the US criminal justice system has anything do with justice. After all, it's right there in the name: justice. It's an old, worn out trope, but it's still true: there are in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. Guess which group cops belong to?
