So, I have to ask, in the US, do they just force random people to sit in the jury? I feel like forcing someone who doesn't care may get unwanted results for something so serious.

piss easy to get out of jury duty, just say you watch the news and you're up to date on any case that comes up. they only really want people that live under rocks.

Pretty much. They'll send out a summons to a bunch of people that basically puts them "on call" for jury duty for the week. Each day, they call in a portion of the people they have on call that week (if any). They then have a screening process where the defense and prosecution ask questions to "weed out" unsuitable jurors until they get a full panel.

The last three times I got a summons, I was never called in. A lot of people who don't want to be there will often "sabotage" themselves during the screening process by selling themselves as sexist, racist, or otherwise prejudiced in order to get the defense/prosecution to send them home.
