No, that's not the end of the story. A 6'4"(or something along those lines) unarmed 18-year old can be dangerous and even deadly, and he had already proven to be violent in his confrontation with Wilson before.
He let all sorts of people testify(the majority of whom were credible, thankfully) and let the grand jury investigate and decide. It doesn't make the trial a spectacle, but it does stain it.

Yeah, hut really it is, and also only if you take his bizarre account at face value.
Sure, obviously I'm not going to convince you really, but if you are at least going to admit that the process was suspect I'm alright with it.
We know police officers in the US are more likely to shoot black people, particularly unarmed black people, this is just another case in this long, sad and continuing history.
Another incident of white officers playing Rambo, good thing he didn't shoot the kid, but surely he would have gotten off the hook regardless (admittedly, the kid did have a backpack AND he was black, so partial blame again):

You called me a "lil' hero" and qualified it as cuteI don't know how you view me.
You very clearly thought that calling you cute means that one views little boys as cute. So you obviously think you're a little boy. It's no problem for me, whatever gets you off I guess...

You're suggesting that I get off on you infantilizing me, and you being then attracted to me?
Weird logic jump

I didn't know about the part of you fantasizing about me being attracted to you, really I just knew you thought of yourself as a little boy. At any rate, can we get away from your fetishes now?
The fact remains, that black people are disproportionately negatively affected by both police and the judicial system, and that in this specific case a young, unarmed man was killed, and even if we are most generous and accept the obvious lie of a testimony of the officer, he was killed 50m away from where a fight allegedly took place.
