Most know of it, though, as it is one of the most well known shopping meccas nationally.


This is not the Bubba Wal Mart middle of nowhere shopping center.


It's also quite convenient for media to cover.

All of those other officers who stood around and did nothing while he pumped 16 bullets into that kid's lifeless body then went on to file reports that stated that the kid lunged at the officer, which is why he was forced to shoot. Which we now know, from the video, is a blatant lie. If that isn't covering up I don't know what is.

IMO perjury charges should be applicable to lying on a PD report. I know that would require modifying the law, but there should be an element of fear involved when about to lie on one.


In addition, those who lied should be fired for cause, with a 100% loss of all pensions and other benefits post employment.

So? Guess he should have been immediately fired, arrested, beheaded, burned at the stake to satisfy some people. After an investigation, he was fired and charged with MURDER.

Tape should have been viewed immediately, handed to prosecutor's, immediate suspension , and within 7 days, fired for cause.


It should have been quite possible to charge in weeks, not over 1 year, and he should have been jailed awaiting trial that entire time b/w say a few weeks to charge him and now, just like any other MURDERER.

Yes, he should have been fired and arrested immediately. That's what we do with murderers--at least those who aren't wearing a badge. It was only through the persistence of a tenacious reporter who refused to let the story go that this cop is going to have to face the consequences of his murder. He almost walked away scot-free.

Easy answer. Don't all Black Lives Matter to you? Or do you only care when a Black gets killed if a White cop does it?

Not really. Ire is only present in those who have agenda to use death to push it.
