This is how this stuff works...

1. Black guy gets shot by the cops.
2. Public gets mad no matter what without knowing any facts and riots or throw a shit storm politically.
3. Politicians dont want to touch it because they are either wrongly condemning the cops or ignoring a huge part of society and without knowing what happened why take the risk one way or the other.
4. Politicians kick it to the SA's office so they can say, "the justice system will take care of it."
5. SA's office looks at case and determines if they can bring charges. Not bringing charges would result in riots/political rage no matter how little evidence they have so if in doubt they bring charges on any evidence they can.
6. At court they can't win on bogus charges so cop is acquitted. Public rages. Politicians and SA can say they did their part and blame it on the courts.
7. Black guy still dead. Cops career ruined. Everyone mad. No one ever knows what actually happened.

I don't think anyone wants this cycle to keep happening but its hard to see it going a different way in most cases.
