What's the point here? He want to prison for 60 years. Is this a response to the posts about the cops doing wrong things and not being personally held responsible?

If so it totally fails. This guy was held responsible for his actions.

Is it suppose to say that the unarmed can be dangerous? No one argues otherwise. The argument is that video shows what actually happened and we should be able to see it.

Actually all the cops shoot unarmed man headlines imply unarmed men are not dangerous.

Nah, she showed amazing restraint and let a guy who could be Obama's son live. I'm sure she will be getting a medal.

If officials were held personally responsible, Obama would have never run and Hillary wouldn't be running.

You want to hold everyone.personally responsible , great, lets start with liberal police cheifs and city administrators wo set the policies that invite substandard performance and selection when it comes to police hiring.

Oh noooo, can't do that. Let's not start at the top unless it comes to wealth distribution.

That wasn't even coherent. What were you trying to say? Distribute wealth at the top? We already do that. Liberal police chiefs? I don't know where you live, but my sherriff is not exactly a liberal.

And what exactly would a President and a former Secretary of State have to do about a local incident of violence? Do you think they are in charge of your local police department? Are you trying to say that you want the Feds to come in and impose martial law? Because that's what some of these law and order posts sound like. Not just yours, mind you.

If the article states......"Police shoots unarmed man". Any implications are on you. You read the article to get the full story.

I absolutely agree. I've argued over and over that we can not expect the citizens to follow the law when we allow elected officials and those in charge of enforcing them to get away with breaking them.

Do you have a problem with that statement?

Yours here is at best a vast generalization and not something one can reply to without some context.

We all know half the people just read the headlines especially when it agrees with their prejudices.
