"...the charges against Officer Samayoa cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt" - California Attorney General Rob Bonta on why he won't pursue homicide charges against the cop who killed Keita O'Neil, an unarmed Black man.
Maybe I'm ignorant, but shouldn't "reasonable doubt" be up to a jury to decide??

California Attorney General Rob Bonta has declined to pursue homicide charges against former San Francisco police officer Chris Samayoa in the 2017 shooting of unarmed carjacking suspect Keita O'Neil, saying the charges could not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
Reminder: So far in 2023 year, police have already killed 113 people.
#SanFrancisco: Rally against #PoliceViolence and demand accountability. Justice for Keita O'Neil rally & protest this Wednesday, March 1, 8:30 a.m. at 850 Bryant Street.
#OTD 2018, I had the honor of giving a talk at the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race & Justice at #HarvardLawSchool.
This talk was based on an article idea that I had been pitching, about some striking similarities between the 1962 #PoliceKilling of #RomanDucksworth, Jr. and the 2014 police killing of #MichaelBrown. An editor at a major national magazine told me it was not fair to compare the racist behavior of the two #police officers. But Harvard disagreed.

#Police in the U.S. are cold-blooded killers. Black people have very good reason to distrust them. The institution of policing is beyond reform and should be abolished.
