Well, maybe it says both, you know. I think it says quite a few things.

I'm going on what I remember from the second Rodney King trial. After the poice were acquitted of assault, they were charged with the different crime of violating his civil rights by failing to ensure he was kept safe from harm etc.

I suppose I should look it up. Too lazy.
