Who’ll be the next in line?

To be uncharged by a grand jury, I mean. After what we’ve seen in the cases of Michael Brown in Ferguson and Eric Garner in Staten Island, I fully expect that if a grand jury is empaneled to judge whether that incompetent cop who shot Tamir Rice in Cleveland should be bound over for trial the evidence will be judged too light to force him to trial too. At this stage, why not?

The American system of justice is collapsing from both ends. At the bottom, white cops can kill black men and children without fear of consequence. At the top, the Supreme Court has been adjudicating cases in a partisan manner since Bush v. Gore in 2001.

I don’t have any idea what to do about it, either.
