Is Boston leading a witch hunt against a police officer?

There is a potential miscarriage of justice brewing in Boston, after an officer-involved shooting. As the city moves to jail a police officer, city leaders are not inspiring confidence in the process.

Boston police responded to a call of a woman being carjacked. The alleged carjacker, Stephenson King, allegedly punched the woman and forced her out of the car. Officers found the car running with King still in the driver’s seat. King refused to comply with officer demands, appeared to be unarmed (he showed his hands at one point when ordered to, but otherwise did not comply), and attempted to flee by ramming into the unoccupied police vehicles that were being used to box him in.
