You shouldn’t. The perp obviously had it coming to him. (/s)

Not really. Laymen tend to believe cops. Sad, The two bastards should be fired and sent to prison.

They did get fired. How they avoided prison for this unnecessary killing is beyond me.

Will the police be further emboldened by this verdict or will they become more fearful that the people will begin to think that the justice system is broken beyond repair? What happens then?

There was no evidence of blood or alcohol in Thomas’ body at the time of his death, a coroner’s report stated.

Shocked, but not awed.

Open season on citizens?

Jury took less than a day to convict.

I haven’t followed this case in a long, long time …. but it sure seemed Freeoers did not take into account the problems this man;s homelessness caused for him.

I guess we’ll get to find out. History has shown that thugs operating under color of law merely get bolder over time.

Since my virus protection went nuts when I came back to the thread ... I'll just say "Baby, you better slow down!"
