of the day, just in looking at the video itself, i mean, you may not want to go for first degree murder, but then you ve got assault, you ve got all sorts of other issues. you ve got options. you have a new york statute that makes it illegal to choke people. right. you had other options. so if you don t want to vigorously prosecute the system for the benefit of the victims, then this system will not work. and that what the essential nature of this system is, right. exactly. do we have equal justice under law or don t we? there s a lot of people asking some pretty profound and deep questions about the nature of that. you see some of them walking through the streets tonight in new york in spontaneous protest, walking up the west side highway with cars there, they ve fanned out across the city, you see protests in philadelphia, some in ferguson as well, all in reaction to this very shocking, i might say, decision from the grand jury not to indict the police officer that
