But the jury is being viewed as stacked in his favor. It sucks to make it a black versus white issue but the reality is, it is.

In this world of anti-racists and "hate crimes" etc., would any white person really want to be on a jury that lets a murderous white cop get away with killing a black dude? It's not like a jury is majority rules...it is UNANIMOUS, aka every white person on that jury needs to say that cop is not guilty for them to render that verdict, meaning they would have to watch their back for quite a long time after rendering that verdict.
The funny thing is if it were the reverse scenario, black cop killing white dude and mostly black jury, the same issue wouldn't exist. Other way around and a not guilty verdict will cause a riot and at least one if not more jurors will probably be beaten or killed at some point.

Cop kills two young adults late at night. Police on scene don't administer test till 8-9 hours later. No charges filed. Eventually the bar released security footage that showed the guy pounding back shots 15 minutes before the accident so they re-opened the case. But the cops stood by him and the Judge caved and he got off with killing two people. |
Now THAT'S pretty fucking disturbing. I doubt that would happen in this case, but jesus...that's pretty damn bad.
I guarantee you that cop will be found guilty and have the book thrown at him because blacks rally with other blacks and whites are afraid of being labeled racist even if they aren't.
