If they were downvoted for that reason (rather than the more likely, but also inappropriate, reasons also offered in other comments of either the post author's identity or people not reacting to the Michael Brown reference) then people seriously need to read.

E.g., he said even coming into the case biased against KP, he couldn't view the evidence as strongly supporting wrongdoing.
