Sounds like a reasonable decision. How do you mistake a gun for a taser?
Good, I am tired of crackers getting away with murder. Seriously though, he did murder the unamred, handcuffed, helpless guy.
And the riots begin.
Sadly, the race profiteers insist on making this incident a racial one — thought nothing in the either participants actions showed race as a motivation.
I’m going to go burn some vehicles and riot!

Given the facts, that’s probably the appropriate verdict. Now we’ll see how the post-sunset reaction goes.
I think most city police departments are little more than uniformed street gangs, and should be disbanded.
The cop in this case blew away a kid in cold blood, then he and his buddies tried to use muscle to cover it up. If the riots begin and there is blood running in the streets, the Blue Gang will have no one but themselves to blame.

How does a police officer mistake a gun for a taser???????????????????????????????????????
Who is this asshole talking like a moron with a painters cap?
“I have no power over anyone, even the dissenting juror who feels they have been slighted, etc, etc, etc.
What a jackoff.
Sorry for the loss of that kid but if he were a truly responsible citizen he would have given a short statement and skipped the questioning.

Mayor Red Dellums is playing the race card as he speaks to the verdict.. too many young black men dying.. justice was not served the fight continues for ‘justice’.. this is not the end of the road.. finally, expressing the anger. be respectful for the victim and the grieving family. find a way to seek the best in ourself. show the nation Oakland can respond to adversity with the appropriate spirit.
Mehserle will likely do a few years..
