No Indictment for Shooting of John Crawford

A grand jury in Xenia, Ohio has returned a finding that the officers who shot John Crawford III in a Wal-Mart store, for allegedly carrying a weapon, were justified. We still don't have access to the video of the incident:

Crawford's supporters say the public has a right to know what happened. The president of the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus and the Rev. Al Sharpton's civil rights group National Action Network are among those who have called for the tape's release.

But state Attorney General Mike DeWine refused to release the video, saying it could compromise the investigation and taint a potential jury pool.

This finding isn't surprising, and it's really disturbing that it's not surprising - it points out how far down the rabbit hole this country has gone on race, and on the ability of the police to get away with what, if I had committed the same act, would have been deemed murder.
