I can't speak for the way that the mechanics of the justice system works but if this happened in New South Wales where I live and the NSW Police Prosecutors didn't think that a change was answerable, when one of their own has killed someone, immediately you begin to question the integrity of the service.
The fact that this was before a grand jury, wallpapers over that quite nicely.

Irrespective whether or not this case is racially charged, immediately there are serious questions to do with police integrity.
This family should sue for negligence resulting in death. If a criminal case can not be laid, then a civil one must.
