Officer Pantaleo was not found not guilty. There is no double jeopardy is grand jury testimony. The federal prosecutor can take it to a grand jury as many times as it takes to get a trial.
The state prosecutor who presented this case should resign. If he couldn't get this case bound over for trial, he doesn't deserve the job.
Am I the only one who detects a guilty attitude during our law process that preumes one innocent until PROVEN GUILTY???????
Evolved from nothing more than hearsay, hired demonstrators and their allies the media!
So much for due process.....eh?

Doesn't the same "innocent until proven guilty" apply to Eric Gardner. Too many times, it seems, the police are taking on the role of judge and jury. Unless a policeman's life is in danger, which it very clearly was not in this case, there is no reason for this kind of treatment of a suspect. Garner, BTW, was suspected of selling loose cigarettes and not collecting taxes. What is the penalty for this crime?
Does anyone really think that the thousands of protesters from Maine to California are paid demonstrators? Yesterday there were protests all over Florida, from Jacksonville to Miami.
The District Attorney, in this case, never put lesser charges on the table for the grand jury to consider; such as manslaughter or negligent homicide. If he had, there might have been a different decision, and these demonstrations might have been avoided. It would seem that he has some explaining to do.
