Now it is officially concluded after due process. The response. The sound of crickets.
So.... what, exactly? You see this as some kind of indication that the justice system hunky-dory and that we should all cheer? Gimme a break. The fleeing and resisting charges never should have been levied in the first place. The kid shouldn't have had to spend a day in jail. The kid's dad shouldn't have had to cough up $8000+ to get his kid out of jail. That someone got it right after the fact doesn't change the huge systemic problems like profiling and ensuing overreaction. Dismissing is the least they could do.
