Guess we all just need to learn to like the taste of Bad Apples, eh?

Seems to be what prosecutors and grand juries are saying.

1. Either they deal with this or I predict an escalation

On protests, rioting and varying acts of civil disobedience.

2. It seems impossible to find anyone

Who truly understands this issue. From a legal and constitutional standpoint. This isn't a racial issue (this specific instance may have racial components). The overall issue of the gj no bil has nothing to do with race. This is a policy, legislative and constitutional issue.

The policy and legislative issues can be addressed far more easily than the constitutional issues. The inclination by those most upset with the issue is to aim straight for the constitutional issues and completely ignore policy and legislative pieces that can actually be accomplished in 1-5 years...straight to the 20 to 50 year (probably impossible) fight to amend the constitution.

7. explain how it's not a racial issue?

9. when have you ever heard of a cop

Facing criminal charges even when he enters the wrong house and kills the innocent resident? Regardless the race? It wouldn't have mattered to the prosecution of this case regardless the race of those involved. Without some proof, simply stating Wilson a racist doesn't prove any racial component. ..there's just no proof Wilson is a racist. That leaves us with indiscriminate killing of some sort. Because of immunities granted police compensating for errors in judgement and other human conditions prosecution is difficult or impossible.

Things can be done about the regulatory piece, revoking or reigning in the immunities. Closer oversight and revised policy by federal agencies. Legislative things can be done. Increases in severity level of violations of the new revised policies. Just to mention a couple possibilities there are a million more (including those concerning race) that could be dreamed up by people with bigger brains than me.

We just hear "things must change", and "that's not good enough".

3. The message is clear, cops can murder you right in front of cameras

and you will be lucky if they even get suspended for two weeks.

Seems local DAs need to move aside for a 'special police prosecutor' tailor made for cop shootings. One that doesn't rely on the local PD for a job.

4. I guessing this isn't about the Federal grand jury subpoenaing Apple documents from L.A. Unified

Federal grand jury subpoenaed documents from L.A. Unified

L.A. school district officials turned over 20 boxes of documents Monday in response to a federal grand jury subpoena for documents related to its troubled iPad project, officials confirmed Tuesday afternoon.

The subpoena asked for documents related to the bidding process as well as to the winning bidders in the $1.3-billion effort to provide a computer to every student, teacher and campus administrator.

The contract, approved in June 2013, was with Apple to supply iPads; Pearson provided the curriculum as a subcontractor.

The investigation is a broad one, seeking records related to Apple and Pearson that predate the bidding process or that involve other projects, according to the subpoena, which was provided to The Times.

The documents sought include all "score sheets; complete notepads, notebooks and binders; reports; contracts; agreements; consent forms; files; notices; agenda; meetings notes and minutes; instructions; accounting records” and much more.

5. OP assumes we are mind readers

So thanks because I'm watching Big Ed and just assumed.........well, you know.

8. Lieutenant Dan got me invested in some kind of fruit company.

And so then I got a call from him saying we don't have to worry about money no more. And I said "That's good. One less thing".
