I am disappointed, though. The prosecutors felt they had a strong case, especially given video evidence, the audio evidence, the DNA evidence. And so we were hopeful that the system would work this time.
I think that the attorney general went out of his way to present both the Department of Justice report, and he is right that there was not a prosecutable case under federal law which is a much higher threshold.
I hope that there is a tone here to come together because we want the violence to end on both sides, and what happened last night did not help anybody.
There's a broken trust between the government, local police, and the community.
