The O.J. Simpson case

I am extremely surprised, with the outcomes of the O.J. Simpson case. due to the details surrounding it. One facet of the case, was the feelings towards the police, due to the time period. This is the same time period, as the Watts Riots and the outburst of police brutality towards the minority communities. Many, felt as if the Los Angeles Police Department, were not up to snuff on their legal proceedings and decisions, and thus were much more likely to frame a black man, than run a fair trial and allow him to be set free. This completely overshadowed the case. The case then, became not about O.J. , but about the police being fraudulent and untrustworthy. Therefore, a man of great public stature, and a man that dedicated most of his life to entertainment, had simply become a figment of the public's appreciation, and then had been pushed aside, with the idea that the police were corrupt. As Johnny Cochran quoted; "Who is policing the police? YOU are policing the police".
