(18,672 posts)1. I don't know about high-profile people
But as someone who has a permit, carries regularly and knows more than a little bit about police procedures I find this verdict an absolute travesty.

We are talking about a minority, they don't care. They were sent back to deliberate so it seems like someone that was holding out was swayed. The police are never found guilty so although I am saddened by the verdict, I am not surprised by it. The jury consisted of 10 white people and 2 black people.
