“I have read much on this travesty of justice... Repeat after me... “Scapegoat”.
I think, rather than scapegoat, as they didn’t actually need one, he was a pawn. They orchestrated this whole charade. The officers correctly doing their jobs were railroaded by lies and manipulation by politicians, the media and their own leadership for personal gain. Look how many substantial promotions came to those responsible. The dominos that fell perfectly, just as they were placed, to turn much of the community and so much of the low IQ sector of the country against law and order. Another wedge in our society, purposely driven by those who wish this nation to fail. Damn them!
