The way the law is written, I'm not sure the facts point to her guilt, to be honest. They point possibly to her doing her job poorly in this situation, but the prosecution is going to have a hard time proving what went through her mind during this situation, which is essentially what they'll have to do. While being armed makes a big difference in these cases, it's not required that a suspect be armed for a cop to be justified in shooting them. The Mike Brown case is one example, although this case would fall more in the category of guys who commit suicide by cop by reaching into their waistband to make cops shoot them, or someone being shot pulling out a cellphone to record the cops when being told to show their hands. Although this guy was not doing this exactly, the officer will say that the suspect was clearly high on something (he obviously was), he repeatedly refused orders to stop (he did), he was too big for her to try and subdue, especially if he was on PCP as she suspected, and he returned to his car and appeared to either try to reach through his window or open the door (Which can be seen in the video from the helicopter). It will be the prosecution's job to prove that, despite all of those statements being obviously true, it was unreasonable for her to fear that he may be retrieving a weapon, and I doubt they can do that. Again, I am not defending the cop or how she did her job, and I do believe that this situation could've been handled differently and not resulted in this guy getting shot. I am merely pointing out why it would be difficult to convict her of manslaughter. I saw an interview with an apparently (I didn't recognize him and don't remember his name) well-known African American attorney who was previously a prosecutor and is now a defense attorney. He stated that he would much rather defend this case than prosecute it.

As much as I hate to admit it, I was really impressed with the ags tonight. This was a really nice (and convincing) win for you guys. Eww, I threw up in my mouth a little

Thanks to buddy's performance in the Texas/cal thread last weekend, I'm rooting strongly for the Ags tonight

Wish these refs would quit cheating for both teams and just pick one team to screw over. It's hard to keep up with the game with BOTH teams' fans filling the thread with complaints about the refs

If it makes you feel any better, wos doesn't start so deep the next drive if silsbee kicks the first fg and the whole series of events likely changes, with Silsbee likely not getting two more fg opportunities. He probably made the right choice to try and get 6

while we're talking about percentages, do you have an explanation as to why black males, making up about 7% of the pollution, account for the killings of over 40% of police officers who are murdered in the line of duty? Just curious, since you've stated that black males don't break the law more, and brought up one rape case (that upset the vast majority of whites in the country), and one crazy serial killer who ate people 20 years ago, as your proof to your argument. There are many theories and arguments as to why young black males tend to be more involved with violent crimes, and some of them hold some validity in my opinion. But you might be the only person I've ever seen who tried to say that young black males aren't more involved in crime than other races, rather they're just (unfairly, I'm assuming) targeted by police more.

Based on that, NOBODY should be protesting.
