They will have trouble getting this conviction. An acquittal will mean more rioting.

If they go that hard, he will be acquitted.

This is nothing but a political charge.

This is insane. If the guy had tazed the cop and taken his weapon, he could have killed him and God knows who else! This is truly mad. They never do this when a white guy gets killed.

This is insane.

Rioters and looters are let go as peaceful protesters.

Police defending themselves from a taser attack are murderers?

No.

The DA needs to be hauled out of office.

I hope the case is outside of that county too. This is all about politics and getting revenge even though the officer had a justified shoot

A surprise early acquittal on demand a week or two before the election?

It’ll be a grave injustice if the cop isn’t cleared.

You have got to be kidding me! That is outrageous. Pretty soon the cops will refuse to do anything except traffic tickets. No jury in the world is going to convict.

Like what? The entire thing from the approach to the car to the shooting is on video.

How many blacks in that city right now will find the officer innocent?

Yup, for conspiracy to incite riots.

The trial will be a year out at least.

Then he will be acquitted since this was a justifiable shoot.
