He just should not have died. If it had been me on the receiving end of this chances are, I would have been so nervous there is no telling what my reactions would have been. On the floor; hands in back; hands in front; legs crossed; crawl; on and on. I would have been shot!
It’s scary that a cop has this kind of homicidal nature, but it’s even more scary that you could gather a random group of citizens together and have them find this monster not guilty. This is just another sign of how dumbed down our country has gotten.

They weren't random, as soon as one of their own has some skin in the game they can corrupt the jury selection system easy enough. The Jury Commissioner selects the jurors for the jury pool from which the jury is selected, it's easy enough these days to fill the jury pool with 'Like minded Individuals" besides the fact that the prosecutors usually work with the cops so do you really believe he/she was going to try their best when it came time to prosecute one of them?
I was completely in agreement about this situation until I read HOC's comment and those following his first one. Then I went back and looked at the video a dozen times and could see what I missed, a man crawling and then suddenly reaching behind his back which could have meant he may have been reaching for a gun.
This whole scenario is screwed up from the the moment the two walked into the hallway. It was handled by the policemen completely wrong right up until the victim was shot. The victim could not have done anything to prevent this from happening other than passing out with his hands far above his head in my opinion. These two policemen are a disgrace to the good policemen in this country. This is a rare occurrence compared to the number of incidents between police and suspects, but it's things like this that hits the news as it should.
We need to be very concerned even with one incident like this when it happens in this country, remembering it doesn't represent the police as a whole.
It's hard to deal with the feelings that one experiences when something like this happens and it seems you as a policeman are held responsible even though you had nothing to do with it.
It was completely unnecessary and if anyone wants to look at a police department, this department is a prime candidate for review.
The statement by the cops after the murdering piece of shit cop got off, said it all. The cops said the guy should never have even been charged. Pretty brash, but then, the President of the United States of America is just as much a piece of shit as this murderous cop, so...
Thanks Picky, at least you can agree when it's this blatantly obvious that the cop was out of line. It's pretty obvious to me, however, that Freddy Gray and others were also murdered by the cops. This is as bad as the four cops who beat that homeless guy to death while he begged for his life and cried for his father. That victim was white too, and all four cops walked.
The guy who is shot to death by the cop had two small kids.
Welcome to Trumperica!
Yeah, because these actions didn't happen until Trump was President.
Absolutely, horrible!
Don't worry, Mango, our hero President Trump will stand up to defend this fine officer against the 'stupid libs' who will try to call him a murderer!
That statement makes no sense leno! This was happening before Trump. Remember, "black lives matter"
I have no idea what the jury was thinking.
I do, he place his hand behind his back for the second time, he died because of it.
Based on that video, I can not imagine anything that would have them come up with an acquittal.
WTF, the cop was found innocent. That was cold blooded murder, the SOB should be in prison for the rest of his miserable life.
It's splitting hairs I know but, the cop wasn't found innocent, just not guilty.

I think this is the very first time I've agreed with you Lenny.
Even a sober person couldn't have satisfied that police officer based on that video.
