Took 'em 50 shots (one guy fired 31 times) to kill an innocent man.
And then they're acquitted. No wonder they chose not to have a jury trial.
Just goes to show you, the "law" is above the law.

Cops almost always get off on bench trials. Judges are not impartial, it s like asking Rev. Al to be judge. I back alot of the things cops do but if this was someone who I shot in my house and I RELOADED and shot some more I couldn't get aquitted if the guy had an Uzi.

Someone had mentioned that to me the other day, I couldn't figure it out either. Just wondering how many times they'd have shot him if he was armed..

12 jurors heard the case and those 12 jurors rendered a verdict.

50 shots and he was hit 31 times, by any chance does anyone know what type of weapon he was shot with?

Your ignorance shines through again.....

Sorry, I made a mistake. Since you have all the facts what type of weapon was used by the cops?

Who said I have all the facts? I don't, I just highlighted a very important fact that you obviously missed in the story I posted the link to.

Well, it just shows you, if you're a cop or Ray Lewis, you can get away with murder.

Why do they need to leave it alone? I think you need to leave it alone.

Funny how the national media tries to turn this into a racial thing and 2 of the cops were black.

How many times would a guy have to re-load to get off 31 shots?

If all 3 cops were white the reaction would have been totally different. Sad but true.
This case doesn't stop civil litigation though - I think all it did was say they didn't act criminally. There could also be a Federal case brought.
HIs family will likely end up with a huge settlement based on negligent - not criminal - behavior.

Money can't bring him back, but it can put pressure on the city to improve training and tactics to avoid these situations. Even with that situations like this one will happen from time to time.
Locking up 3 cops (which is a de facto death sentence) is reasonable if it can be proved they ambushed the guy or agreed to kill him beforehand. Cops have to make life and death decisions as part of their jobs, but they're not perfect...
