Que cette affaire ne suscite même pas un débat national est obscène. Et qu’on ne se pose même pas la question d’un « raid policier live » filmé par la télé avec un flic qui aurait voulu - devant la caméra - en faire un peu plus ?
No further prosecution for policeman who killed Detroit seven-year-old

The Detroit police officer who killed seven-year-old Aiyana Stanley-Jones will not be retried. In a statement released yesterday, the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office said after two mistrials, it would move to dismiss the case against Officer Joseph Weekley. The first mistrial was declared in June 2013. The same judge, Cynthia Gray Hathaway, declared the second mistrial last October.

During the second trial, Hathaway issued a directed verdict on the felony manslaughter charge, resulting in Weekley facing only a misdemeanor charge of careless discharge of a firearm.
Aiyana Stanley-Jones was shot in the head with the automatic weapon Weekley wielded during a predawn “no-knock” raid conducted by the Detroit police on May 16, 2010. The raid was filmed by an Arts & Entertainment (A&E) network video crew for their reality TV show “The First 48.”
