What I see eventually happening is one of these bad cops will be shooting at an unarmed person in front of a passerby who shoots the cop to defend the victim.
I don't give a shit about his disposition. He's a cold-blooded murderer who abused the public's highest trust. All decent cops will be horrified at his actions, and it's they who will pay the price. I don't know the laws there but anything less than life without parole puts Real Americans in grave danger with no benefit to society.
So you want vengeance! Well I don't really give a shit what you do with him as long as he isn't a cop. That helps a little but not the bigger problem. Perhaps that is why Jesus taught us it was not our call. "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord"; "For vengeance I would do nothing. This nation is too great to look for mere revenge" We need to change the policies that put cops, good or bad in one on one confrontations which can so easily escalation to use of deadly force. That's the issue and then we need to do something about the bastards that hire these misfits on put them on duty. There are too fucking many looking for the confrontation that will gratify their need to wield power. Your need for vengeance will be sated with a huge jail sentence, but it is no real fix for the main problem.
In the wake of Memories Pizza getting three-quarters of a million dollars via crowdfunding on GoFundMe, the same website has decided not to allow people to raise money for the cop in this video--because apparently people wanted to do that.
I have no desire for vengeance, merely Justice. Apparently the death penalty is an option in this case, and I think that would be appropriate. IMO, you entirely misread the problem as a staffing and education shortcoming, while the actual problem is simply centuries of non-prosecution/non-punishment of crimes committed by cops.
I didn't see that? I thought i watched the guy pick the taser up and move it to a location closer to the victim so it looked as though he had it with him when he was shot. Still would not have explained him being shot in the back but it might have made the scene look like he was being aggressive. There is now Video out from the cruiser dash cam that shows the victim running away from the scene at the beginning. This again does little to show the officer was ever being threatened at any time. Should he have run? No. Should this man have been killed? I just don't see it at all that he should have been shot that many times. I also just do not see how we all can just sit here and allow the other officer to not be arrested for his conduct also. This is wrong on so many levels it's just ludicrous.

Uh oh! More video. The prosecutor better reduce the charges from Murder One to Manslaughter, or he is likely to lose.
Well look at it this way. That Tsarnaev guy planned for some time to blow up as many people away as possible. He got up in the morning with the plan in mind, to execute the plan and kill as many people as possible. That is premeditated murder, Murder One. This Cop likely had no thoughts of killing anyone when he started his day. He was just a doing his cop job when he stopped this guy for a bum taillight. Then the guy ran, the cop pursued (good policy would have been for him to call backup), he caught up with the guy and a tussle ensued. Then the guy ran again, the cop shot him. Not with premeditation but in the heat of the moment. Yes he killed the guy, wrong as hell but not murder one, that's manslaughter. Put him on trial for Murder One and he get off. Better go Manslaughter.
You forgot all about Murder II and Murder III. http://www.diffen.com/difference/First_Degree_Murder_vs_Second_Degree_Murder This is Murder II in my book.
