Arizona Cop Acquitted of...

Not sure I need to post anything more than this link.

http://reason.com/blog/2017/12/08/ar...killing-man-cr

NOTE: As a forewarning, there is one of the most disturbing videos included in this link that I have ever seen.

I posted this under the Thread "Not Guilty Verdict in Kate Steinle at #55. It should be under it's own thread.

This poor guy was shot dead for failing an agility test that I couldn't pass sober or otherwise.

I also thought he passed the agility test, this was in Arizona not California see post # 54 under "the Kate Steinle"

Yea, I thought I saw this elsewhere on here. I searched and didn't find anything. Either way. Yes. It definitely deserves its own thread.

Disgusting! Once a person is on the ground they should never be told to come forward. Have the person lay there til reinforcements arrive. This was outright murder, he was looking to kill him from the start.

I defend the actions of police all the time but cannot begin to fathom how this officer could have done this.

What is more surprising is that this video in and of itself was not enough for a conviction.

Color me shocked.

If this so-called "policeman" was acquitted of this heinous crime...then there is obviously something seriously wrong in our country when it comes to dealing effectively with the police. These aren't "peace officers"...these are a bunch of THUGS. He shoots an innocent guy full of holes...and then he slowly approaches him with his weapon pointed as if it's his OWN life that's in danger.

If these guys are really that scared when performing their jobs...why don't they turn in their badges and get a job at some 7-11?

A jury of our supposed peers witnessed this very video. And let that man go.

Makes you wonder what a cop has to do in order to be found GUILTY, in a "court of law".

I don't want to jump to those kinds of conclusions and such, but that is...

I just can't even imagine being that kid's father. Or the girl and her family.

....And ,in the video,not a word spoken by the other officer or officers there at the time. Like it was procedure. It all has to do with training. Something is missing !

It's easy to find badge bunnies and holster sniffers in the general population when it comes to jury selection.

Great mention, and noticed that as well. Even after he shot the guy his "partner" really didn't even say much, did he? In fact, he was in step to try and open the door to the room after likely having to step over a guy his partner rolled with rounds of bullets.

It is a litany list of things that are so incredibly wrong in that video, and the more one thinks about it, the worse it gets.

I'm scared that a panel of our peers felt it reasonable to let that guy go. WTF is wrong with people?

That is disgusting beyond belief, that guy was humiliated then pretty much executed. The guy barking out the instructions is an idiot also and needs to be fired. We have an unarmed, law abiding white guy, who wasn't resisting killed by police. Where is the wide spread outrage? Why wasn't this all over the news? I only heard about it recently.
