There's at least one thing Ferguson,Cleveland and Staten Island

    have in common.

    We're looking at them in the rear view mirror.

    Getting convicted for murder through the court system is a very long, carefully choreographed affair.12 citizens are chosen carefully to participate, two teams of smart people who have passed difficult bar exams make the case for and against conviction and then those jurors are sequestered and argue with one another until they reach a conclusion.

    It was a lot simpler for Mike Brown. Darren Wilson was Judge,Jury and both prosecuting and defense attorney. And the Court House was the pavement next to Wilson's car

    .It was a quick trial.

    Is there something wrong with this picture?

    More to the point , does it have to be this way?

    Answer :no.
