Quote:Uh... police are allowed to shoot people. Is that not what we are discussing??? The fact that most officers aren't even indicted and put on trial is defacto free reign.


This cop that shot the Miami therapist is being protected by his captain and IS on paid leave.


Those are facts.

 

Police that are proven in court to have done something illegal are prosecuted and often given harsher punishments than gang bangers.  If having carte blanche to you is having to be convicted of wrong doing with evidence in court, then yes all Americans have it.  That cop isn't getting off scott free.  He will lose his job, his pension, and probably any retirement savings.  He's likely unemployable in his career.  Its possible he is charged and convicted of a crime less than murder and suffers the associated consequences.  The officer's life will have effectively gone to crap over this and his family will suffer for it.  What you want is a witch hunt broadcast live on tv and for him to never see the light of day again over a mistake he made when in his mind he was trying to save someone's life.
