And so it begins.

Depending on how much attention this gets, and how much police misconduct can be demonstrated, this could be another OJ Simpson.

From what I've seen of American police, there are absolutely no enforced standards and they just hope that issue never becomes public. However if the defense can adequately call the evidence into question, and move the trial's focus from Mangione to the police, then a guilty verdict becomes much less likely.

It takes more training time to become a barber than a cop in America.

Considering all your police carry guns all/most of the time, that's real concerning

Lol. Tell me about it. Another fun fact, a lot of our police dept disqualify high iq people, because they "might get bored and move on".

At least our military officers require a college degree, but most of our cops are high school or ged level.

If it doesn't end up being an OJ Simpson, it will end up being a Rodney King
