Instead of calling for changing the use of force standard --a meaningful police accountability measure, and something his own report clearly shows is necessary -- the prosecutor used this report to call for giving prosecutors more unchecked powers.

Edward Gendron should still be alive today. On many levels, the prosecutor's report about his death is the latest to show there is no justice and no peace in Connecticut's current policing system, which doesn't hold police accountable.
