The officer shot and killed Walter Scott, who was unarmed, on April 4.
While the court process and a trial will ultimately determine the outcome of this matter, the fact that a grand jury indicated a police officer illustrates a principle worth constant discussion. Too often those who work for the government are treated differently than typical citizens. In this case. the police officer will have to depend upo nthe same system that ensnares many, many more typically citizens.

Principle 12: Collective Action Has No Unique Moral Authority.
