    This public defender made excellent points about inconsistencies in Wilson's story, the bad aspects of this grand jury and, really, why special prosecutors always need to be used (NOTgrand juries) in these situations:

    It's mostly nonspecific bullshit and bandaids that completely miss the root. How about we remove the bullshit laws (ex: drug war) that create huge incentives for discriminatory enforcement? How about removing all federal funding to police forces so police fully report to the people?

    Actually, these are great ideas. All of them. None of them are ridiculous or overreaching. I really don't get you; you seriously seem to believe that racism no longer exists, and that drug legalization is actually possible, and will solve everything. And that you can buy your daughter a real live unicorn for Christmas and you're going to the lost city of Atlantis for summer vacation.

    I'm officially setting you on "ignore."

    Less than half of that list are in any way actionable. It's mostly "make a thing good" without any specifics.

    #1 and #9 are the worst. Imagine any politician responding to that. "Hey, you already have those things! Great!"

    Honestly, I doubt the grand jury used her testimony to make their decision, anyway. They only used the cop's testimony and the forensic evidence and the jury instructions. They threw out all the witness testimony as unreliable, most likely.
    I don't know about that.. If I remember correctly from the prosecutors lengthy speech afterwards where he addresses that there were so many people falsely testifying, he quotes witness claims that back up Wilson testimony. He doesn't specify how many witnesses testimonies lined up with Wilsons, but it seems that it was only one, and it was this one.
    I could be wrong though.. I do know it's a shitshow that should have went to trial though.

    This is somewhat police misconduct I guess? The whole story sounds unbelievable.

    regardless of the backstory, what could justify the cop running in and throwing some kidney shots while 3 other cops are already holding him?

    ...in seriousness, I was reading that earlier today, and I remember people calling out Witness 40 pretty hard as soon as their testimony was made public. Will there be a federal investigation? Will it bear any fruit?
    i saw the pic, and i'm a long time rush fan.
    i'm pretty sure that's Geddy.

    Why don't you just spit it out?...

    If you think this is funny or deserving in any way, shape, or form you're truly fucked up.

    i never said i wasn't truly fucked up.

    THOSE cops didn't deserve it, but there are cops who do for goddamn sure.
    They kill hundreds of people and get away with it.

    @Krazy, cops DO kill hundreds of people every year, according to this article.

    And that cop DID put the fucker in a choke hold. he BEGGED the cop to stop choking him.

    i've been the victim of my fair share of police brutality, and that sort of shit makes my fucking blood boil, to be quite honest.

    and judging by your post, it would appear that we are diametrically opposed on this subject.

    Maybe what i posted about the NYPD shootings didn't belong in an internet forum, and i'm sorry if i offended @Krazy or anyone else.
    It was just a dark, fleeting thought of a bleeding heart.

    And btw, i GODDAMN sure didn't think it was funny. my thoughts were anything but funny.

    If you kill a random cop, chances are good that you are killing a good one.
    Only some of the bad ones even deserve to die.

    I don't want to live in a world where a person can't point a loaded gun at a police officer without risking getting shot and killed by a cop.


    WHEN WILL THE VIOLENCE END?
    WHEN WILL JUSTICE PREVAIL?

    when it says the policeman put three rounds into him, does that mean he shot him 18 times when the guy didn't fire once? If it is, is America policed and trained by that guy in Predator who shot up the clearing?

    What I read on a Yahoo News article was that the cop fired three times. One round hit the guy, one hit a police car tire, one round is "unaccounted for".

    That makes more sense, my only real knowledge of guns is either a russian roulette 'round' being six shots so I assume a round of bullets is 6, other than that its just games and films / tv

    Between cops shooting unarmed people, people shooting cops and cops shooting armed people, which still results in more protests, you guys have quite a mess in your hands.

    All cops should be equipped with pillow guns instead of regular ones. You know because justice and tasers and fantasy lands and things.

    Ok, @Sarah K and anyone else who's palm met their face when they read my post about the NYPD cops being killed...
    i saw one of the cop's wife crying on tv, and then I started crying too, and i feel like a tool for posting what i posted.

    Killing cops is not the answer. Killing ANYONE is never the answer.

    I'm not endorsing vigilantism or riots or anything of the sort but what went down in NYC really was an embarrassment to the STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS AGAINST ASSHOLE COPS movement.

    If they REALLY wanted to prove a point they could have at least done the bare minimum of research required to kill the right cops who actually deserve it.
