Okay, first off, what did the officers do that was illegal? After all, you have to do something against the law. You heard them order the guy to the ground which he refused, and the video is unclear of what happened next, although you hear officers commanding him to put his arms behind his back which it seems like he refused those orders as well.
Next is that the officers were charged on several counts including murder. It was a jury of citizens that found the officers not guilty.
Do you know anything about this case? It made national headlines back when it happened. The guy was mentally ill. He had the mind of a child and wasn't threatening anybody. He ran from the police because he was scared of them and apparently had good reason to be since they killed him. The officer threatened right on camera to fuck the guy up (his words) if he didn't listen to him. While they were beating the man to death he was crying for his daddy. This whole ordeal was caught on video. Minimal force to gain compliance is acceptable. This is not.
And by the way, one of the cops who was on trial just got convicted of beating his wife two years ago. Shocking......
Yes, the jury did acquit because there are plenty of bootlickers out there like you in the public who will not condemn a person in a uniform and badge under any circumstances.
In another case in Oklahoma, it took four trials before a jury finally convict this asshole of cold murder for the reason I just stated
Jurors in the first three trials deadlocked 11-1, 10-2 and 6-6, leading the judge to declare mistrials. Tulsa County District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler said Thursday that it illustrates the immense challenge prosecutors have in winning the conviction of a police officer.
"In the first trial, we learned from that and realized it's a very difficult case," he said. "The question with these jurors is ... can you put a police officer in prison?
"We recognize immediately that for the most part, people have a great respect for law enforcement officers, but there are cases when good people make poor decisions," he said.
Experts: Hard for jurors to convict when cops are on trial
The irony is you clowns have bitched for years about the left passing their hate crime laws and now here you are sticking up for one the right is about to pass.
