Huh?

The cop murdered the man, and since this video surfaced, the police have charged him with murder, and rightfully so.

Post 46 shows a crime taking place, murder.

Not enough context for me. I’d want to know what happened before the video started tracking the two men.

If all I saw was ten seconds of a film of an angry B-17 bombardier pressing the button to hit Berlin, with no context about why he is in the plane or why the plane is there, I might see him as a cold blooded murderer. but then I find out that his pilot was just killed by an ME-109 and his wife was killed in a bombing in London - and the two countries are at war in which the place his just released his bombs on is the aggressor.

My point is, the video, in the right context, could vindicate the cop. Frankly, I don’t think it will, but I tend to agree with the author of the article. Involuntary manslaughter.

BTW, this video demonstrates why I think only fools aspire to become cops in our current culture. If I was one I’d be looking to get some training in C# and MVC.

The cop murdered the man,


The cop shot and killed the man.

A jury will decide if it is murder. Murder implies intent. It also considers mitigating circumstances.

The video addresses neither of those things.
