High-profile police killings caught on video often point to a probable legal outcome. But the images and the outrage they engender are still outpaced by a justice system that critics say favors the police.
Christian Carter and an unidentified woman embrace one another after they learned of a not-guilty verdict in the homicide trial of former East Pittsburgh police officer Michael Rosfeld on March 22.
Those hopes dim when officers lean on the inherent danger of their work and invoke laws that allow broad authority for violence, leaving calls for justice and video outpaced by a legal system that critics say still favors the police.

The outcome was nearly symmetrical with the cases of Stephon Clark, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice and others, whose killings were captured on video after they were confronted by police while unarmed. Prosecutors were otherwise “confident” that video evidence, “common sense” and other facts would overcome Rosfeld’s justification for using force, which can be confusing for a jury to wade through, Manko said.
In less than four hours, jurors found Rosfeld not guilty of first-degree murder, third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter. “The verdict was too fast,” said Carolyn Morrison, Rose’s aunt, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported. “It was all too fast."
