I don't understand how anyone can read that testimony and think this 'indictment' was anything more than a sick joke.

Like here:

It was perfectly coherent. It was just the prosecutor coherently arguing that the defendant is a great guy and should never have to face trial for what happened.

Like he was literally playing the defense attorney while, ostensibly, being titled prosecutor.

I mean, I had read some of the witness testimony the other day posted elsewhere and it had made me kinda questionable because what had been posted was backing up the status quo, but then you see that and it's like, well if the prosecutor was acting as defense can we even trust witness testimony? --Not really. They're coached by the lawyers for whom they are testifying usually.

Can we trust ANY of the evidence when the system is so obviously invested in making sure Wilson is not only judged innocent, but never even has to face trial? Nope.

At this point, even if they decided to attempt at indictment again (can they even do that?), he went to trial, and was deemed innocent on weight of evidence I would be EXCEPTIONALLY doubtful because how can I trust, literally, any evidence handled or presented by the state when this is how they handle their indictment trial?

How can anyone?

At this point it shouldn't even matter how you feel about cops, or anything else. If you care at all about the justice system as a whole you should be fucking LIVID about this. There's really no grey area to be occupied, anymore, if there even was at all.

Edit: At this point I don't even know what can be done to 'fix' this situation. I guess getting McCulloch disbarred is step one, though.
