It is now almost a year to the date that Mr. Brooks was killed.
Rolfe has not even been indicted in the killing and has been reinstated to the police force.

Willis argued that her office had a conflict of interest because her predecessor used video of Mr. Brooks's killing in reelection campaign.
It's so depressing/telling to think there has been so little movement in this case, which was such a catalyst for the racial justice movement last summer.
It feels like as with so many cases that for a moment seen to generate outrage - I think most often of Daniel Prude - it could easily disappear from the public consciousness, without anyone being held accountable, and no one would so much as blink.
