I don't care what race a person is, the police shouldn't get away with being judge, jury & executioner. That he was handcuffed when shot should have gotten that cop the death penalty!

We all need to get away from petty bickering about race or partisan politics! The cops are domestic terrorist and any of us could be the next victim. On this issue Americans must unite.

Well, the guy who shot Grant was arrested and put on trial, while the guy who shot Matin was not, because Sanford police apparently thght that chasing someone down the street was "self defense".

Second, we're rather used to some kid being shot for no reasonby the cops, but not by random guys driving to the store.

and i agree. i was outraged that grant was shot. the cop made a mistake though in the heat of the moment and pulled his gun instead of his taser. he got convicted of involuntary manslaughter as a result. there was no intent to murder, so the cop didnt deserve 2nd degree murder.

really? zimmerman wasnt put on trial? then what the hell was that thing that was going on a couple of months ago? you know, when zimmerman was put in front of a JURY? witnesses were asked questions, by both side? apparently that isnt a trial anymore, so what would YOU call it?
