Found so many stories like this one when researching my first book, most now buried by history. But I can’t get over the detail in here that in 1970, a Boston judge ruled that being embarrassed by an unarmed black guy was legal justification for a cop to kill that black guy.

I am no less confident, that no learned lawyer will affirm that an impeachment can lie against the King, they all going in his name: and one of their maxims is that the King can do no wrong.
