re: Grand Jury Doesn't Indict Cops who kill man with down syndrome

Or maybe they read the autopsy which determined it was a homicide by asphyxia.

I chose my words poorly. It should have read, "There's a whole lot of reading between the lines and illogical gymnastics going on to get from the scant few details given to 'they acted unlawfully'". We don't even know if they used poor judgement. Were they cuffing him to arrest him? Were they only cuffing him to restrain him? What did he do to them? They laid him on his stomach for a short period, but did they do anything else to him?


It's as if people see the term homicide and assume it implies criminalty 100% of the time. Sometimes is is a case of Homicide per infortunium.

It seems that when the police are involved, otherwise reasonably intelligent people become knee-jerk reactionaries. It's baffling.

The article is written in a biased manner, includes almost no details and should scream "withhold judgement!"
