This is another great example of why independant prosecutors need to be used whenever police activity is involved.
Even if the prosecutor acts properly there is an assumption that they are biased toward the guys they work eith every day.
If a judges brother comes into a court then the judge recuses himself..even if the judge feels he coul be 100% unbiased in judgung his own brother everyone else is going to assume he was biased. Or maybe the judge could be unconsciously biased and not even realize it.
The Ferguson Grand jury proceedings were also all jacked up. The prosecutor handled it differently than he would have with any other accused criminal and that left the door open for people to claim he was biased.
