My point, and you are beyond smart enough to have know it, is that trials by media are a bad thing. Just in the last few years we have seen how catastrophic they can be for people whose lives are ruined yet did nothing wrong.
So why can't we all just say "this was a tragedy, let's get the facts and go from there."
And obviously both sides do it Paul, I'm not saying it's only one side. But 95% of the media has a liberal bias. So it's not exactly 50-50 either, especially when it comes to race.
It's a really bad idea. All of the riots in Ferguson, were based on a lie. A teenager named Nick Sandman was crucified in the media, based on a lie.
As to your specific post, police officers don't convict people. Juries do.
