ERIC GARNER, CHOKED TO DEATH BY NYPD

[Duchess]

It seems to me that whenever there are questions about an officer involved death, a special independent prosecutor ought to be brought in as opposed to a local prosecutor.

I agree with this and think it's an excellent idea. It's smart and I think it makes sense particularly when the eyes of the country are on you.

I read that in the Michael Brown death that it was unprecedented to have the officer spend hours before the grand jury relaying his side of the story. The DA/prosecutor did not want an indictment or he would have gotten one, it's that simple. That's where the joke of "you can indict a ham sammich" comes from.
