As such, there is no reason to react to the not guilty verdict by losing faith because there are numerous proactive measures cities can take so as to decrease the likelihood of another tragic murder trial. Above-all, policy makers should divert funding away from expensive superfluous equipment and towards lifesaving stress training.
