  The joke is that a prosecutor could indict a ham sandwich if they wanted to. As a grand jury only sees the evidence the prosecutor wants to see--and you don't always have to show them exculpatory evidence--if you don't want an indictment, you just... don't show the evidence.
context: Bruhhhh, article says he lost the legs in a previous altercation with the cops >
  
  How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man? >
  
  I shouldn't laugh at this but holy shit.... >
  
  Well everything else that has been tried to curb police violence in the US has failed so laughter is about all we have left really. >
  
  Nothing has been tried lol wdym? >
  
  Okay, let me clarify.
  Half the country tried to curb police violence, the other half thinks police violence is great, as long as it doesn't happen to them, any political attempt at preventing police violence is immediately stopped by the other half of the country. >
  
  You're misconstruing the numbers, it's more like 1/3rd support, 1/3rd defund, 1/3rd just is so tired of it all they stopped caring. >
  
  The 1/3rd that don't care are almost as complicit as the ones stopping progress. >
  
  Everytime I read something like this, I think about Jimbo wanting to get around hunting laws in South Park by yelling "OMG HE'S COMING RIGHT FOR US!" just before shooting an innocent animal right in the face... >
  
  That's really what it seems like here. They were cautious because he had a knife and was reported for stabbing someone. Ok, fair enough. then he threw the knife at the cops and this was cause for them to respond with deadly force.
  Ok, it's bad that he tried to flee. It's bad that he attacked them. However he no longer has a weapon. This does not justify going Judge Dredd on his ass and issuing a summary execution for attacking. >
  
  Some countries don't have cops with guns. Some countries have cops with training and solid trigger discipline. The US has Jimbo. >
  
  In Japan they come after you with a fucking mattress and just roll you up. Just make a burrito out of you and cart you off to jail. No guns or weaponry - just a futon. >
  
  So, human sushi? >
  
  They should put a cover on it that looks like rice and nori, just for kicks. >
  
  He’s coming right for us jimbo >
  
  Assuming this is a reference from that old South Park episode, it's crazy how closely it aligns to the Stop resisting! from the Tyre Nichols murder. >
  
  Lop almost like they have been doing the same thing for decades now... >
  
  The lesson to take away from this is that we won't change police violence and abuse until we change our own attitudes. Both grand juries were just ordinary people, and they declined to even move forward with a trial. Think about that. They were asked, "should this cop who shot a disabled civilian get a day in court to defend his actions," and they said, "nah, he's good."
  We stop being able to blame the system or the cops once we become complicit, and no matter how you, as an individual, might feel, we as a society routinely let cops off the hook for the most heinous of crimes. >
  
  You are ignoring how much control the prosecutor has over the private grand jury proceedings. >
  
  How much control do they have?
