Long overdue, Enigma777. I suspect within a month or two, much of the PD brass will go. This is a dark, defining moment for the NYPD. The worst thing it has faced since the brave Frank Serpico displayed the dirty organization known as the NYPD. Unlike when they murdered Louima, there is clear video in this case.

Obey the laws ;plain and simple. Keep you out of jail and let you go on with your life in peace.

This case is much different than the Brown case. The cop should absolutely be tried for excessive force which caused death. I totally support prosecuting this cop and hope his family sues and wins civil damages.

The cop used tactics that are clearly against NYPD policy. The NYPD have also tried to cover it up which is yet another example of the blue code of silence.

Oh. And I don't lie. I may mistake a stat every once in a blue moon or a minor detail but its never intentional. Show me a post if you think I'm being dishonest.
I never said you lied...I said that is about the most honest thing you have said...


There is a difference....

Sounds pretty similar to a Police forum image that got blown up on Twitter this evening. The first line is the exact quote.


Are you pro 4th amendment? The Constitution? What are your morals so to speak politically?

He had just broken up a fight, no? That's the first story I remember hearing. The man who video taped it was there the entire time I believe.

It's not "plain and simple" because there are several innocent people with NO criminal record that get killed on a daily.

It's not good to generalize...

At the barest of minimums his family is going to collect a rather hefty settlement from the city of NY.

Keep that in mind folks because NY pays out hundreds of millions annually for such suits and when you can't get a fair deal from the city, you at least can sue them and get SOME justice if only monetary.

This case, unlike some of the others, IMO deserved a trial.

I would again urge people to weigh the facts in these cases and THEN reach a decision rather than pulling out your pigment chart and deciding which side you are on before getting all the information.
