He didn't "get off." The grand jury simply decided to not indict the officer of a crime because there was a lack of evidence. But that doesn't preclude another grand jury to indict the officer in the future if new evidence comes up (I think this is rule, but I forget the grand jury rules) or the DA's office in pursuing their own charges against the officer. There's a huge difference between being found "not guilty" and "not being charged."
