I admit to thinking the same myself until I started thinking that perhaps I can’t tell the whole story from a video.

Unfortunately, this death is yet another democrat vote and TV ratings gold mine. Just because the MSM reports, it doesn't mean what they're reporting is the whole story. MSNBC still refuses to report the Ferguson facts.

The jury made their decision for a good reason. Unless everything comes out in the open and the evidence says otherwise, I have to - in clean conscience - side with the officers and trust the people of the jury.

Too many people here are watching a short clip of a video and are already demanding the crucifixion of a police officer. Why aren't they just as interested in what the jury saw and heard as well? Why all the knee jerking? Have they been trained to believe this whole "cops kill more blacks" crap by the liberal media? Is their propaganda really that powerful?

I will be the first to say there are a lot of bad cops out there. The kind that storm a house guns ablazin’ and kill the dog. Then they find out they were at the wrong house. There are some that are corrupt. Remember the NOLA cops back when?

Not every guy who serves in the military is a hero good guy. They kill their wives, friends, rape people and are gang members.

So is the average citizen guilty of all of the above. Most are not criminals, but that is how life is.

That said, this has to be looked at case by case. Cops are LAW ENFORCEMENT officers. It isn’t up to them to pick and choose or agree with all the laws that are their duty to enforce. I always hated some of the sting operations, even though I know they have a place in the scheme of things.

With this case, and the Ferguson case, do either of these cops have a record or complaints of overuse of deadly or extreme force? Most likely they do not.

As I said earlier, I doubt this cop wanted this fella dead or meant something like this to happen, for obvious reasons. It is sad, but that does not make him a murderer. It makes him a cop doing his duty and a tragedy happened as a result of that.I am sure it had nothing to do with race because I would bet this action has also been used on white offenders. I have never had any bad encounters with the average cop, but then I don't break the law. If I did, I would expect bad results and have to decide if my choices were worth the possible consequences.
