Passepartout Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Sometimes I think the feds are the ones that need to be fired. They must have some kind of immunity to be thugs. Due to working for the government. Though I do respect all law enforcement. No matter what way you look at it. Mostly good just 1% bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Translation: "jack ****ing **** will happen" Yeah, based on the backtrack by the chief, I don't think anyone will stand in the way of charges. Except the police union of course.

Destino Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Shooting into car is essentially the same as shooting blindly into a small crowd of people. Unless there is absolutely no other option it simply should never happen. This is how children get killed, like the six year old boy in Louisiana, and now this 15 year old boy. In other words, exactly the kind of result any reasonable person would expect from shooting blindly into a crowd of people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From CNN: Quote (CNN)Michael Slager, the former South Carolina police officer who fatally shot a man in the back, will plead guilty to a federal charge of using excessive force, his attorney said Tuesday. The crime is a felony, punishable by up to life in prison. You can not be an officer if you have a felony conviction on your record. In any state.

I was mostly joking about him getting another job in another county. That usually happens when an officer quits or is fired but not convicted of anything. I assume he won't be getting life since he plead guilty. So some jail time should be happening here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Sc and work with a FORMER police officer convicted of same exact charge. He beat down a convicted murderer on a prison transfer. He can can no longer be a police officer. Police have eacothers backs no doubt, but this guy won't be a cop again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, federal excessive force convictions have gotten 18 months for beatings with the person living. Anything less than 10 years would be soft.

Chew Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 The ****? Why?? Quote "After seeing his brother get shot, Jordan's older brother was handcuffed and taken by police for no particular reason," said Lee Merritt, the family's lawyer. He was not a suspect and there were no charges against him, he said. The teen spent the night in jail and was released the next morning — and it was only then that he found out about his brother's death, he said. So after watching his brother get shot in the head, he was locked up over night and didn't know his brother died until the next day. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/brother-teen-killed-police-was-handcuffed-held-overnight-lawyer-n753991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what i watch, Don Lemon and Zakarahia are the only two I can't stand. You have to admire Anderson Cooper. He's got to to be about the most liberal dude ever and he generally is capable of sticking to the facts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correction, the all white except for one token, conservative, blue lives (only) matter jury. Most likely outcome, jury nullification resulting in a hung jury. I'm shocked that the stories about how this "thug" once took a library book withouthis library card and other such infractions haven't started making the rounds yet. ?? 19 hours ago, youngchew said: The ****?
