He has to, it's insanity to even charge him with all those felony counts that could even put him on death row.

If the grown ups don't start taking a stand somewhere this is all going to end very very badly

I would pardon him right now before the travesty advances any further.

Agreed.

I still don't think most of the charges apply in this scenario.

Yes.

This is clearly a political scheme over a justified shooting.

Yes, the governor should.


Charging all of these officers in all of these cases is a public "lynching" of law enforcement.


We are euthanizing the wrong species.

I will need to hear all of the facts. Right now I would say yes. I would rather us try to figure out why American Police are so much more likely to resort to lethal force than our counterparts in other first world countries. I think that question needs to be answered.

Wait and let's hear all of the facts in court. I imagine we will learn more details that we don't necessarily know at this point. I am very curious to hear how a jury will interpret the events of that night.

The charges should be dropped and the DA should be removed.
