Two threads of American law enforcement converged this week — one local and visceral, the other institutional and far-reaching. Police released video footage from a shooting at an In-N-Out restaurant, opening the incident to public scrutiny in the way that transparency demands of those entrusted with force. At the same time, Pam Blanche's confirmation as attorney general moved toward conclusion, a reminder that the machinery of justice operates not only in the immediate aftermath of violence, but in the quiet chambers where prosecutorial priorities are set for years to come.
