The wheels of justice grind slowly. In cases where white cops blow away young African-American men, we should consider ourselves lucky anytime they grind at all.

Guys, he had a knife, so anything the cops do is nice and legal. Just ask a DA.

Boy, I'm shocked almost a week later that he vanished from the thread after not elaborating on what he feels was a "legit" arrest.

if you have a knife and cop asks you to drop it, you probably should

Not too long before we see police start hiring "private contractors" to do their policing.

Funny how the cops are jackbooted thugs when they harass poor heavily armed Clive Bundy.

This guy is still probably around even money to be found not guilty, right? Sad, sad stuff.

I don't think so. The video speaks for itself. He has to be found guilty.

That's not bad. What's the downside (if you're not a cop)?

They know this guy's name.

He's alive and had never been charged for targeting federal agents with a loaded rifle.

These *******s went to the nearby fast food joint and deleted the security film from that night.

By deleted I mean I'm sure it was an honest mistake and that they had no intention of deleting footage

Why is he above the law? Targeting = shooting at?

That stance is fine. Except for the death penalty. Deep down you know I am right.

Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1 (1985)[1], was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that, under the Fourth Amendment, when a law enforcement officer is pursuing a fleeing suspect, he or she may not use deadly force to prevent escape unless "the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others."

If there's one thing police believe in more than protecting other police it's strong (police) unions. Overtime is third.

Well at least one resident racist on here is having a gleeful reaction to that video posting Supreme Court cites and knife=!unarmed. Scumbag move of course, but at least being honest about being happy that kid was murdered

It should be conspiracy to pervert the cause of justice. Does the US not have something like that?

As stated, the US calls it Obstruction of Justice.

Just seems that if you can destroy evidence of murder and get off on the murder charge, getting charged with Obstruction isn't so big a deal.

But if destroying evidence could be seen as an admission of guilt, then it tskes away this motivation.
