You're joking, right? If he is even going to get found guilty, it will be for fudging the paperwork. Nothing else.

Registered 17 years agoIt will be interesting to see the result. I suspect the initial shots could be justified, though it will depend on the officers testimony, other camera angles etc and ultimately it will be for a jury to decide after seeing all the evidence. What happens afterwards though is inexcusable and all involved should be up for charges at the very least; the first officer continuing to shoot and all the others who turn up and offer no assistance/aid at all. Sickening. -

Registered 15 years ago@RichDC Considering this is Chicago, the home of a de facto black site prison and also Jon Burge, the police detective that tortured over 100 men to coerce confessions whilst they were in custody, I am also interested to see how this plays out.
I agree with you, with what we have seen cops do, appropriate force has been ramped up so that the initial shots would not cause him any issue. His problem is that he lied. And that there was a whistleblower. Every cop that was on the scene and corroborated that story that the fella died of a single gunshot wound, the cops that deleted the footage of the shooting from Burger King, the people that suppressed the autopsy report that would contradict the official police statement from last year, all of them should be charged.
The mayor is suggesting this was the work of one bad apple, but now that the genie is out of the bottle, it really looks more like an institutional failing. (Edit: I am no expert. But one cop on his own can't make a lie like that the 'truth' without help from many others)
Something to remember, apparently, that shooting cop was not the first on the scene. But the only one to shoot. -

Hmm, it appears Ferguson PD have relocated to Tottenham -

Registered 15 years agoNo grand jury indictments in the shooting death of Tamir Rice.
Quick summary. 12 year old Tamir Rice was playing with a toy gun in a playground. Someone calls the cops and says that someone, probably a teen, is brandishing a gun, which is probably a toy. Someone should check it out.
Dispatch neglects to mention the toy part of the conversation. Two cops arrive in a cruiser. And as can be seen from surveillance, arrive in such a way that a conversation was basically impossible. Within 2 seconds of the car coming to a stop, the boy has been shot and is on the ground dying.
Here comes the interesting bit. This happened in Ohio. Which is an open-carry state.
Even after it emerged that they fucked up at the scene of the shooting, not a one of the two cops there, bothered with CPR.
Edit: I have been informed that you don't perform CPR on a person that is still *breathing*. And other types of first aid is not the right thing to do by the cops either, since they are not trained for it and could cause more harm than good. That's a job for the EMTs.
And according to Twitter:
You should know the officer who shot Tamir Rice had been forced out of another precinct after being called "unfit" & "emotionally unstable".— Ashley C. Ford (@iSmashFizzle) December 28, 2015

Registered 15 years agoI haven't posted in this thread for ages, because it is just so depressing. But this is a step above the normal sort of deaths in custody. It really should not be impossible to subdue a man that is already handcuffed without tasers -

Registered 15 years agoDonald Trump has taken all the focus of the media on police brutality. But that is still a thing. And with Jeff Sessions as an attorney general, this article doesn't think that things will get any better any time soon.
