They say a prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich. Once again, we have a case where cops shoot a black kid – literally a 12 year old kid, with a toy gun no more convincing than the Edison Giocattoli cap guns I used to run around the neighborhood with, or the arsenal of matte-black waterguns I once lugged through an airport<\/em> – and the district attorney doesn\u2019t even find enough awry to make it worth going to trial.
