too, want justice for tamir, then suggested going through the civil system. how common is that for a prosecutor to say go the civil route? this is a prosecutor who made it clear from the start he didn t think it was a crime. if that s how he feels, he shouldn t have presented the grand jury in the first place. what if they did return charges? he would say thanks, but i disagree with this. this is why people are losing faith. it seems like a charade where some prosecutors, not all, are pulling in the grand jury to cover for their decision. if you didn t think it was a crime, it wasn t fair to put this before a grand jury. this was a pelt gun you could see as a threat. the officers pulled up and made a split-second decision. a tragic mistake, the prosecutor called it. i don t think this prosecutor put to rest the questions of whether this was fairly and independently investigated.
