"The unsettling implication lurking beneath this story is that if Halstead had been spraying graffiti, this sort of treatment would have been perfectly appropriate." My sentiments exactly. As long as Americans tolerate the abuse of those later found guilty, the abuse of those later found innocent will continue.
