It was all caught on body cam. Yet the jury refused to convict. They must have been intimidated by the police or they were simply morons.
That piece of shit pig deserves the death penalty. It's shit like this that enrages the people so much that they want to go shoot random cops.
Dear
Muhammed, any decisions made after the Las Vegas shooting
could have been biased, if the court process didn't screen out people properly.
Were jurors asked about hearing news reports of the Las Vegas massacre?
With a RIFLE shot from a HOTEL window?
Any juror with that image in their minds might have
sympathized with the "fear" that cops have,
even though this incident from last year
clearly preceded the Las Vegas Shooting.
It could not have influenced the cops apprehension,
nor does it "excuse" it, but it might explain the
jury's bias in favor of cops and in fear of white
men in hotels with guns seen through windows.
I think the bias in favor of police and against
civilians in contested shootings and use of force,
comes from believing it is better for
people to fear cops than it is to fear thugs.
People would rather that thugs be afraid of
being shot to death by police getting away with murder
(even if that costs lives of innocent citizens
mistaken as thugs), than have police be afraid of
being shot to death by thugs before they can tell
if the person they are apprehending is complying or not.
