A small bit of good news. But let's not forget how that whole grand jury thing went in the Michael Brown case or with Tamir Rice. A prosecutor leads the grand jury to where they want them to go, so the prosecutor has to want to prosecute for it to generally happen.

In the Brown and Rice cases we were dealing with police officers of course, but as with Trayvon, in Georgia these are white (vs white Hispanic) men with proximity to police who shot a black man in a guns-galore state. That doesn't make me hopeful, frankly. 11alive.com/article/news/c…
And these questions still linger for me: who shot that video? Where they following the car with the gunmen in it and why were they filming the whole encounter? And how did the video eventually get out?
I'm truly hoping that Ahmaud Aubrey's mom and family get justice. I would like to be wrong, for once, about America's criminal justice system. #AhmaudAubrey
