Last week, in Riverside, an activist who protested against the shooting death of Tyisha Miller was released from jail, while the former officer who supervised those who killed her was given a hero's welcome at an awards ceremony. What is wrong with this picture?

Last week, I felt like Alice in the looking glass when an activist who protested against the death of Tyisha Miller was released from a 30 day stint in Riverside County jail and former sergeant Gregory Preece was given awards by the police department and California assemblyman Rod Pacheco.

Dressed in orange coveralls, and wearing a beard, Frank Esposito sat in the jury box, with the other inmates and listened to presiding judge Robert G. Spitzer offer him the option of either being released from the jail in Banning to work off the remainder of his sentence in the County Sheriff
