Outside the courthouse, protesters demanded due process for the accused, who are all police officers.  They carried signs with slogans, "No Case Should Be a Circus," "Honor the Presumption of Innocence," and "No Trial in the Streets."  

Members of the media interviewed a number of protesters, who were quoted as saying such things as, "We'll accept an acquittal peacefully if that's what happens," and, "All defendants should have a chance to make their case before people condemn them."

The article covering it states............ummmm............well................maybe I'm getting this wrong.  The reaction I described is only what we'd see from academia or the ACLU for an axe murderer or child rapist.  Or maybe Mumia Abu Jamal.  The actual protest today  --  which wasn't much compared to the arson and riots we saw earlier  --  was, well, different from my description, and was covered in this local CBS News story.

If there was even a slight mention of Due Process, I missed it.
