Ex-officer who said he mistook a Black man's keys and phone for a gun gets 15 years to life for murder

[Carl in Michigan]

There is no excuse for these consistent occurrences.

There are ways to respond when approached by a police officer. Blacks LOVE to ARGUE, THREATEN and generally mouth off

What about the (black?) Capital Police Officer who shot and killed unarmed (white) Ashli Babbitt? He didn't even face charges.

He was doing as he was instructed.

Bam, bam, bam, bam.

Dead

Murder.

 

[MayorQuimby]

Sorry, legally in the garage minding his own business.

Bam, bam, bam, bam. Dead.

Murder.

I read the story but could not find what the white cop was doing in some garage.

Was he called there because there was a disturbance? Maybe he went in there thinking there could be trouble.

He was doing as he was instructed.

So? This does not mean that people cannot mistake what one's holding in one's hand to be a weapon.

Personally I tend to sympathize with the white cop. Black people, especially black men, are very dangerous. They are constantly resisting arrest and having encounters with the law enforcement. If I were a cop and I saw a black man holding up what I thought was a weapon, I'd shoot, too. Better he dead than I dead.

Bam, bam, bam, bam.

Dead

Murder.

You shouldn't go anywhere near a jury. You are hugely biased (you badly want to put a white man in jail) and furthermore, your brain doesn't seem to work very well.

Has nothing to do with me. A jury found him guilty. Because he was.

Is it because a jury can never be wrong?

Because he was.

You literally are unable to prove that he had the intention to kill Hill deliberately. Stfu before I start to think you're IM2's cousin.

Plenty of reasons. 180 Police executed annually. They don't shoot enough criminals.

Black zbrown Doper crime, running, hiding, fighting, taking weapons.

Skulking around a dark garage waving a metal object in a hand. What do expect? Valuable Police Officers to be ambushed? Fire first, no questions asked should be policy IMVHO.

When Officer killings drop to zero, then we look at the numbers.

I really care less what you think.

This wasn't justice, it was appeasing the black mob. The cop was a sacrifice to avoid rioting

 

[leftwinger]

You cannot prove that he truly did have the intention to murder the black man. For all we know, it really was a mistake.

I don’t even read the stories. The media BS. Then Board Stain run with media story like the Bible.. A mistake? ...stop so many encounters required. Reduce your mistake chances.

HEY! Watch where you point that photo! No telling when it could go off!

They shouldn't be appeasing the black mob. Just use the courage (and violence) that they employ, when dealing with the "white-supremacists". I mean they have antifa and various other violent groups. Just use the same kind of force on black mobs and soon they will learn not to riot anymore.

The reason black people riot is because they know white people won't do anything to them.

This has nothing to do with rioting.

If you point your gun at someone and pull the trigger, you deliberately meant to kill them.

Expect a pardon.

I'm good with whatever the jury decided based on the facts. I doubt thre will be a pardon.

 

[MayorQuimby]

If you point your gun at someone and pull the trigger, you deliberately meant to kill them.

But if it's in self-defense, then sometimes its OK (depending on circumstances).

It doesn't matter that we later found what Hill was holding was just a cell phone. The important thing is that at the time of shooting, the white cop genuinely thought he was holding a gun.

Just go around blasting people with cell phones and say you were scared.

Well, do we have good reasons to believe that the white cop was lying? Think about the circumstances surrounding the shooting. The article isn't very clear, but I think that when he went in, it was in response to a call, and he was there to investigate, and there was probably music and noise, and he was probably expecting trouble. In situations like this, it is understandable that he reacted that way to what he perceived as serious threat.

It was late at night. I'm not interested in your "probably and maybe" excuses. He is going to prison where he belongs.
