Strawman arguments Von you need to keep your eye on the puck rather than all this racial shit.
The 'prosecutor' decided that this case would never go to trial - that is not his fucking job.
The system was not allowed to operate, it was corrupted and race should have nothing to do with the proper use of the law.
The whole point of having a proper legal system is to prevent shit like this on either side of an argument. Hundreds of years have gone into to trying to get a bit better at being just.
Having a prosecutor who doesn't want to prosecute for whatever reason(he works with the accused and his father was murdered by a black guy when he was 12 is not ideal - coincidence?), is not the way to do it. This should have gone to trial, then if the evidence shows the scumbag did try and take his gun then fine. Or that after being shot and running away the cop had to shoot him a lot more then ok fine, that's at least a legal process.

Prosecutors can often present 40 indictments in a single day (albeit perhaps on lesser charges than homicide). That’s because the prosecutor’s burden is merely to establish that probable cause exists such that jurors can decide whether to indict — not to try the case. As Justice Antonin Scalia said in a 1992 opinion describing grand juries, “It is the grand jury’s function not ‘to enquire … upon what foundation [the charge may be] denied,’ or otherwise to try the suspect’s defenses, but only to examine ‘upon what foundation [the charge] is made’ by the prosecutor.”
