OT What a piece of %^$#

Why was it merely a terrible mistake for the itchy-fingered policeman who intended someone to die, but a murder charge for the joker who didn't intend someone to die?

Cause and effect. "The Joker" was the catalyst for all of this. It's kind of like Charles Manson going to prison for his entire life, even if he didn't physically kill someone. Sharon Tate wouldn't have died young if Manson hadn't influenced his followers.

With that said, incidents like this happen far too often. And, police officers get away with this sort of thing all the time. We need more accountability.

Hiding the real catalyst won't help accountability. The triggerman with the itch to kill.

This will get him a promotion. He's now the toughest guy in the precinct.

And anyone who refuses to doctor thier statement will be jobless while this dude gets promotion.

Because. If the guy he shot had really killed his family and came out and made a sudden move and got shot nobody would care.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda. Stop being so eager to kill people.

No one would care? True for you extremists, who want government assassins instantly deciding who lives and who dies. But most people believe in having trials.

Someone has to stop hostage takers. If you want to talk them out, volunteer.

Not everyone's afraid of human nature like you. I would have no fear of going in and talking to him. (I've approached and soothed screaming hobos living in the woods a couple of times while hiking.) But if I'm just there to fool him into going to prison for decades for disobeying your holy authority, I'm not interested in helping you.

(I'm kind of doing that right now, talking to you.)

My holy authority is keeping people from murdering their parents? Ok

Plankton, usually. That stuff always gets me riled up.

Yes, my mates are always telling me "walk the plankton, walk the plankton". But I can't get the damn leash around their tiny little necks.

Attorney: Family of 'swatting' victim wants officer charged

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Nearly a week after police shot and killed a Kansas man while responding to a prank call, the victim’s mother pleaded with authorities to allow her to see her deceased son.


Lisa Finch wrote in a letter to the Wichita, Kansas, mayor and police chief that she doesn’t know where they’re keeping his body and that she wants to give her son “a proper funeral service and burial.”

She questioned “why Wichita City leadership is compounding our grief and sorrow, by keeping my son from us?”

“Please let me see my son’s lifeless body,” she wrote in a letter dated Tuesday. “I want to hold him and say goodbye. Please immediately return his body to us.”

You know the cops are running drug tests, DNA, fingerprints, checking anything and everything so they can try and justify the shooting. "He's smoked the marijuanas in the last 6 weeks, he's probably serial killer. It was a good shooting."
