DC Tom Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Not good enough for the protesters. Prosecutor ought to come out and say "In light of the massive wave of disagreement and protests in response to the officer's murder indictment, we have decided not to prosecute..." Just to !@#$ with the protesters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in Mich Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 So, nothing to see here? Move along? Are you kidding me? How about the fact that the officer is just now getting charged? It was 13 months ago that he basically assassinated that kid with 16 bullets. He was still working as a police officer for a year after clearly committing murder. If that video of the shooting was of Citizen 1 shooting Citizen 2 or a police officer, that shooter would have been arrested immediately. It appears charges only came after a judge ordered the shooting video released to the public. Why? There are bad apples in every profession, including police officers. One systemic problem is that the vast majority of officers do not act to remove the bad apples. They are reluctant to turn in bad officers and cover for each other, typically. With the explosion of video, many are now paying a price for protecting the bad apples. They are all getting painted with the same brush. Another issue is the apparent policy to, once you start shooting, to keep shooting until the clip is empty. That is fine policy for war, but it is wrong for police, especially when dealing with unarmed 'criminals'. I know this Chicago kid had a knife, but still, any threat from that knife disappeared long before the officer stopped shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unbillievable Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I like the comments asking why the cops didn't just shoot the knife out of Mcdonald's hand as he ran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 The real scandal here is Rahm Emmanuel sat on releasing the tape until now. His reelection was at stake and there's no way in hell he would have won if that tape came out before the election. He's a piece of **** of the first order. His henchmen/women are as well. Chicago is a cesspool of corruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania and blue collar workers I left PA in 2000 but kept in touch with some blue collar 99%'ers from my youth.
