What angers Harrier about this incident is that Connely did not act in a malicious, premeditated manner.
He had no criminal record and was asleep when he was awakened by a disturbance on his property.
He acted to defend the life of his wife, himself, and to protect his property, and for doing do he was tasred, arrested, tried, and convicted of a trumped up "crime" - all because some cop thought that he was too big for his britches.
Anyone who defends such an outrage is absolutely pathetic.
I think that at some point we, the people, will have to start shooting. As many of us know, cops are out of control in this country. They investigate themselves which is a sick joke. They are above the law and immune to the prosecution that ordinary citizens would endure if they committed the same crimes as cops. They cover and lie for each other. They ignore any property rights or civil rights.
Unless a police report is required for something, I'd never ever call the police! I will take my chances and handle my own affairs and if I don't come out well, it's on me. There was a time in this country where people would mind their own business and take care of their own business.
Americans need to get past petty hurt feelings and whining racism about things and unite against a common terrorist-gang threat - the police.

Connely acted in self defense - the cop is lucky that Connely didn't actually shoot him - and Connely is the criminal?
this is why the public needs to be aware of jury nullification. if you feel a law or case is unjust you have the ability to vote not guilty regardless of what the law says. funny thing is your not allowed to notify the jury of this in your defence. another example of a perfect example for jury nullification is is the case of the 18 year old senior who almost went to prison for 30 years for statutory rape
Jury nullification petitions against Police corruption need to start being circulated in all communities. People need to start becoming aware of the terrorist Police presence in this country and start to fight back.
Point being, they had a heckuva lot more information to make their decision than the people on this board have in making theirs.
True - but that does not mean that the information was accurate.
The first thing that prosecutors learn one they are out of law school is how to lie.
That is how they win cases - because jurors are socially conditioned to think that prosecutors are the "good guys" and defense attorneys are the "bad guys".
The opposite is actually true.
