Is this one of those cases where the jury was mega racist, where they were super authoritarian and there HAD to be a good reason the cop did what he did, the prosecutor intentionally made a lovely case (maybe not this one since that sort of thing happens more often in grand juries where they don't have to make stuff public after), or half of the evidence was inadmissible so they missed the real story?

During the chase, Stockley reported “shots fired” to dispatchers over a police radio. He says something about shooting Smith, which court records reveal as “Going to kill this (expletive), don’t you know it.” From - http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/...567f53ed46.html ... how!?! How can a cop say they are going to kill someone, then kill them and get off. I really don't care what the circumstances are. That's insane.

Explosion in London Underground train this morning, reports so far is a crude bucket bomb that didn't go off as apparently planned (was on a timer). Manhunt underway, saw another report that a suspect has been identified by cctv. E: Unrelated question -- how the gently caress is the UN letting North Korea get away with firing TWO missiles over Japan? Isn't that violating Japan's airspace?

botany posted:i hate that this is a question i have to ask but: which senseless killing was jason stockley involved in? Starts at 6:30, after the shooting, with him grabbing the gun from a duffle bag, a bystander's video shows him entering Anthony Smith's car immediately after they pull Smith out, at 8:45. The Chicago Tribune posted:Assistant Circuit Attorney Robert Steele emphasized during the trial that police dashcam video of the chase captured Stockley saying he was "going to kill this (expletive), don't you know it." Less than a minute later, the officer fatally shot Smith. Stockley's lawyer dismissed the comment as "human emotions" amid a dangerous police pursuit. treasured8elief fucked around with this message at 16:22 on Sep 15, 2017 |

Can we talk about state politics here, because my state still doesn't have a budget amd whatever is finally cobbled together is going to be wildly unpopular and probably put the state in Republican control in 2018. For reference, our current governor(Malloy) won bothhis elections by tiny margins and as of 2016 the once very large Democratic majority in the legislature had been reduced to only a few seats in the House and is now tied in the Senate

That's a choice anyone can make. Cops take it because however cop friendly juries tend to be, fair bet that the judge is even more so.

Was it unhelpful or are you just being defensive? Here let me clearer because The Internet Makes You Stupid™.. A terrorist attack on one of our closest allies is worth at least a passing loving mention. Another cop got away with impunity and I'm in no mood to coddle any of you fuckers today.

Legit I'm leaning toward burning down the precinct or the place the judge works out of as a reasonable response. Its not irrational, and seems pretty justified, it certainly is less cost than a human life. Come at me property rights mooks

I think you'll find that the Suspeted Perpetrator was in fact not an angel. And the cop no doubt felt his life was in danger as everything there was clearly taken out of context. RuanGacho posted:Yes, state politics is fine My state's politics currently has our Tea Party Fucknugget Governor, former Turtle challenger Matt Bevin, saying that the office of the State's Attorney General should be appointed by the Governor and not elected. Of course this has nothing to do with the fact that our current Attorney General, Andy Beshear, has filed multiple lawsuits against the Governor about actions that Bevin has taken (such as dissolving and recreating various state boards because he couldn't replace all of the current members with toadies). Andy Beshear is also the son of our former governor, Steve Beshear, who is responsible for the Kynect success story even having a chance to happen.
