Just as context, "nothing happens" does not mean that there is no trial, or even

no consequences. The officers in these cases are frequently put on administrati

ve leave with pay or even fired. However, since we're talking about murder here,
these sorts of punishments are not really appropriate. Likewise, the minimum se
ntence for second-degree murder is around 25 years in prison. The minimum senten
ce for manslaughter is around 1 year in prison.
Also, not all of these trials are totally without justice. Sometimes the system
works as intended. Most of these are pretty surreal though. If you don't believe
me, check out the Black Lives Matter wiki page from which I compiled this list.
