As conductor Edwin Outwater looked...

When cops shoot and kill civilians in the United States, they rarely get indicted for anything. It's rarer still when they get charged with murder and even rarer than that when they are actually convicted of a crime — usually manslaughter, if anything. That's what makes Tuesday afternoon's events just...
