“Officer Gardner was exonerated by his superiors.”
Gee theres a surprise. The police investigating their own and they find no cause. Bet that never happened before.
“What IF Officer Gardner DID make that statement? Would it change your opinion of the case?”
We’re dealing with reality. The video provides evidence as to what actually happened. The video demonstrates he handled the stop unprofessionally which led to the inappropiate use of force. Tazing Massey only a couple feet away from traffic could easily have resulted in his death.
Those are facts. I’ve sat in the jury room before and had reasonable doubt explained to me. What you’re trying to use does not meet that standard.
“The video demonstrates he handled the stop unprofessionally which led to the inappropiate use of force.”
Exactly what did he do that was ‘unprofessional’?
