Good. If you aren't guilty, you shouldn't have any liability what-so-ever. if anything, once declared not-guilty (or the case never make it to court) any further pursuit of the victim should result in criminal harassment charges. Leave the victims alone, even if they are white.
If the neighbor backs into your car, should you be able to pursue damages if the person who hit you isn't sent to prison?
Because if, instead of running into your car, the neighbor had accidentally shot it while unloading their rifle for cleaning, you can't sue them if they aren't imprisoned.

This is actually why Texas is great and Joe Horn did nothing wrong. You can't trust the police, but I absolutely trust my neighbors.
When a cop says a minority wasn't charging somebody when they got shot to death, I am more likely to believe him.
And let's not forget that the police department chose not to arrest him because he was a white business owner. If Horn had been black, he'd have been killed on the scene or executed in Huntsville.
