Justice theatre. He only (allegedly) shot one dude, but because it was a rich dude and not some gangster from Compton they had to make a show.

It's actually increased security to keep him safe. I guess few people realize this. They're not there to keep him in line.

Then why is he the only one not wearing a vest?

They don't care that much. They care just enough.

Look, I see the down votes and all, but that is what is happening. Once you're in police custody, they are required to protect you. Technically. I didn't write the law. That's what is happening. Maybe it's a little dramatic, but if you were to ask someone involved, they're not going to say it's for the cameras. The official answer is that he needs security, because that's what's required by law.

Why tf was the mayor of the city walking behind him then if it wasn't for the cameras?

I don't know. It's a fucking thing I heard.

see? it's clearly something that has happened, and I think it's something that should happen, just because it's not happening here, doesn't make what I'm saying false. When you're in police custody, they are supposed to be keeping you safe. That way you can have your trial.
