Prosecution knowingly and deliberately half assed the case because they are scared of white voters and the police in general.
The fuck you talk about? It was no different under Obama.

Soo .. she either has dementia/alzheimer or is a liar/biased.
Either way, she should not be in a jury.

How the fuck were these people allowed to be on the jury?
Fucking sham of a trial. But god forbid people protest these results in ways that might make white people a little uncomfortable.

Slowly reaches for identification so he's not complying fast enough and gets shot five times. Reaches too quickly for his ID and gets shot five times.

The entire countries police force are policing the country based on one phrase "I feared for my life".
That's it, that's all that needs to be said. There can be video, there can be witnesses, there can be track records, doesn't matter. If you use that golden phrase, you are all but above the law.
I feel like an officer can literally shoot blindly into a group of people and as long as he/she uses that go to line, they'll walk.

He's Black. The longstanding racist anecdote has always been that Blacks turn to violence when they ingest any chemical substance. Weed, booze.
Get get intoxicated and we just can't help but assault White people and sexually assault White women.
Cant dehumanize a people for centuries and just turn it off. The social conditioning that Blacks are always up to no good sticks.
Someone gets it.

Correct!
A family that we have a history of being friends with, that watches our kids sometimes, is an extremely fervent "blue line" police support family. They have a policeman in their immediate family and one other policeman in their family was murdered in the line of duty (by a white man).
They seem to honestly believe that BLM is a terrorist movement, all of that. I don't know their feelings on this case, but I think I don't need to ask.
I am so consumed by anger at the injustice of this verdict. I am so angry at them and people like them.
My wife loves them and I don't know what to do. She is not in favor of any of the blue line stuff, she just loves them as people.
I feel horrible at posting my stupid problem here in the face of PoC facing such insane, inconceivable injustice, I am just so angry I feel like I need to say something. I want to get out of here. I want to leave this state.

I pray I don't get pulled over on my way to or from the gun range.
Do I pull my wallet before the cop arrives at my vehicle?
Does his misconstrue that as an attempt to hide evidence?
Do I wait until he arrives at my vehicle?
Does he misconstrue my movement to my pocket as reaching for something?
Do I inform him I have firearms legally in the car?
Do I just roll the dice that he doesn't look?
Meanwhile White folks go to Starbucks with their shit and order a venti...

We're conditioned by society to give police the benefit of the doubt. Ideally, police should operate in such a way that giving them that should seem reasonable. It isn't reasonable though. I'm still going to call the cops in situations when it's warranted, but giving them any more trust than their accusers is clearly stacking the deck heavily in their favor.

What the fuck do we do?
Seriously. Is it worth being on the right side of history if we just shout, vote, and die from entities we pay taxes to keep standing?
When do we get to defend ourselves?

Laughably rigged.
Bias towards police doesn't exist in the eyes of the court I guess.

The sequel to the '92 LA riots is brewing, it's going to erupt sooner than we think
I genuinely fear though that such an event will happen with Trump in office because as unfortunate such an event would be in any circumstance, Trump is guaranteed to escalate the problem and make things a million times worse for all minorities.

The prosecutor even went with a lighter sentence in order to get a conviction, goddamn. This is a fucking travesty, absolutely no justice for him and his family.
I guess it was a jury of peers.
This.

Short term there isn't anything that can be done.
But something kinda occurred to me.
Maybe more and more people who are pro-police reform should work their way up the police workforce ladder with the intention of reforming the system from the inside?
I mean there was an article a few months back about how the FBI had been investigating how White Supremacist groups had been infiltrating numerous police forces. Well what's to stop people who are pro-police reform from doing their own infiltration?
Nah - the prosecutor has their career riding on this conviction. They just got cute and tried to nail him lying, but got too cute by half and the judge saw through their attempted sleight of hand. See the below point on trying to get a conviction.
Yeah, you're off base here. His mom actually thanked the prosecution team.
Fucking right? How the fuck was the cop not guilty of a manslaughter charge?? Not guilty on all accounts.
Fuck this country.

What action do you recommend? We don't vote for our cops, and we don't vote for our juries.
This is maddening and I don't know what the answer is.

The cop that shot him was also not white, not sure this is a white vs black issue. It's a cops vs black issue.
This is the continued preservation and normalization of a system created by white people for white people.
