I'm sick and fucking tired of coming onto this fucking forum seeing shit heads like you not being able to see the clear picture
There's been a lot of underlying problems with minorities and police, there's an obvious prejudice against black citizens simply because of their race.
There's tons of examples I could give you where white criminals have gotten off with a slap on the wrist whereas black criminals have been absolutely punished until they break because of this prejudice
But nah it's because they're in the wrong
Wake the fuck up
Police getting away with murder is a very real problem that needs to be addressed. Here's a post from reddit that grabs dozens of cases of cops killing totally innocent people in cold blood with genuinely zero excuse - every single one was not indicted:

I've been going through them all one by one, and yeah, several aren't deaths, my mistake. Over-exaggerated that. Absolutely police brutality and an excessive (and sometimes deadly) display of force where none is necessary. The last one is especially shocking - a black handcuffed professor was shot in the shoulder through the heart despite doing nothing wrong and it was captured on camera. And nobody was indicted/charged. Inexcusable - I'd love to see live footage of a jury to ensure that the evidence being displayed is genuine. It's unbelievable to me that these people aren't charged with murder.

You shoot until the suspect is no longer a threat. In this case, Brown was hit in the head after several shots and fell to the ground, and that's when the officer stopped firing.
Overkill is if the officer keeps shooting him on the ground, which since there were no downward shots into his back found, the officer hasn't.

sorry but you don't "aim for the heart" you aim center mass.
See, I guess the cop tried to put him in a blood choke, which causes unconsciousness extremely quickly and you wake up 30 seconds later from it. However it looks like he completely fucked up and did an airway choke instead, which is a shitton more dangerous.

Whats the lesson here? The standard for indicting a police officer who killed another human being is too fucking high. What we have here is the realization that prosecutors (i.e: the state) cannot be trusted to persue reviews of their own, because they will craft the weakest arguements known to man.
Literally, I demand a recording/transcript of this grand jury proceeding, because literally all you would have neeed to do to get my approval to indict him would be to play that fucking video.
REMEBER: the defense is NOT ALLOWED in grand jury proceedings, so how the FUCK did this happen?

It doesn't matter whether or not he was going for a blood choke because, as I understand, the NYPD is not allowed to perform [I]any[/I] chokeholds. There is absolutely no way to defend this cop's actions and it baffles me that people are even trying, especially when the death was ruled a homicide.

Yea, because ITS NOT A TRIAL. Its a meeting by the prosecution on whether they have enough evidence to indict (or evidence that shows a crime has been committed).
A judge is waiting to rule on whether to release the evidence or not.

Is there any specific reasons why they don't have any manslaughter charges? People easily get those from causing accidental car accidents.
[QUOTE=Flameon;46637464]Whats the lesson here? The standard for indicting a police officer who killed another human being is too fucking high. What we have here is the realization that prosecutors (i.e: the state) cannot be trusted to persue reviews of their own, because they will craft the weakest arguements known to man.
Literally, I demand a recording/transcript of this grand jury proceeding, because literally all you would have neeed to do to get my approval to indict him would be to play that fucking video.
REMEBER: the defense is NOT ALLOWED in grand jury proceedings, so how the FUCK did this happen?[/QUOTE]
So do you just believe that grand juries shouldn't exist or something?
Jon Stewart is really pissed off.

[QUOTE=Apache249;46637739]So do you just believe that grand juries shouldn't exist or something?[/QUOTE]
I get the purpose of a grand jury is to reduce state expenses, but honestly when they are subject to so much manipulation to create expensive trials vs poor people and avoid justice in the case of cops - then ya, either we need to rethink grand juries or get rid of them.
