I think the sentence should be 10 years, so we disagree, which is perfectly acceptable. Shit. I almost got on a jury where two young black guys got a 20 and 30 year sentence for being caught with a fairly small amount of cocaine.

One excessive sentence does not justify another.
But, sure a cop who kills someone should get off, but two young black guys who were selling a drug should spend decades in prison. Fuck that

Did you even read my post? Harkinson did not kill anyone. He did not even hit anyone.

I know the ten shots that he carelessly fired into her home weren't the ones who killed her, but his recklessness was totally unwarranted, so I think he is as guilty as if he had killed the woman. Plus, a few of his shots went into a neighboring apartment, which could have killed or injured those occupants. He was charged with violating Taylor's civil rights and imo, his totally unjustified carelessness deserved a harsh sentence. Maybe one day, if enough of these criminal cops get prison sentences, others in law enforcement will learn how to police without shooting people, or using other dangerous tactics to restrain people, other than in extreme cases where self defense is justified.

It seems that you always defend the police no matter how ruthless and illegal their behavior might be. I don't understand that. The police are supposed to "Serve and Protect" not kill people or shoot into their homes for no apparent reason. There are some excellent police but there are still too many who are unqualified to do the job. They act more as if the citizens are their enemies.

I would say it depends. If she put others in danger doing so then yes.

Eluding police. Resisting arrest. Grandma touched the officer's hat. There's gotta be a charge of some sort for that.

I'm sure it's okay for Murch to risk the lives of others for his goddamn dog as I suspect Murch also considers himself an excellent driver. Yeah.
 
I have no problem with the police stopping someone who is driving unsafely or speeding. Once the officer heard the story, I would think the proper course of action is to accompany the woman to the vet, and once the dog is being seen, then give any tickets,

The YouTube algorithm has been feeding me police body cam videos since I started watching "sovereign citizen" videos, and while the perspective is a bit skewed, there is some pretty bad behavior by folks out there. The sovereign citizens are just bonkers ("I wasn't driving a motor vehicle, I was traveling in my personal conveyance, and I don't have to have a license to do that!") but it's interesting to see how an Arizona deputy runs drug interdiction. It goes from "I pulled you over because you were following that semi a little too close" to a bust of someone trafficking 50lbs of fentanyl. Some of the "entitled Karen gets arrested for DUI" videos are painfully hilarious, but there's also some pretty dark stuff. The last one I watched was about a drug dealer in Ohio who had stuffed a 60 year old addict into a tote in his house so she wouldn't rat on him, and played loud music to try and keep the cops from hearing her cries for help.

Illinois deputy found guilty of murder in the shooting of Sonya Massey, a Black woman who called 911

An Illinois jury on Wednesday convicted a former sheriff’s deputy of second-degree murder in the shooting death of Sonya Massey, a Black woman who called 911 asking for help. The jurors, though, did not convict Sean Grayson on the first-degree murder charge that prosecutors sought and that...

I was just about to post about this. Good riddance to that piece of shit is all I have to say.

Edit: The conviction isn't enough. Second degree.

Murder of Sonya Massey - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org
Massey had called 911 about a possible prowler in her house. Grayson and Sheriff's Deputy Dawson Farley<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Sonya_Massey#cite_note-:6-7"><span>[</span>7<span>]</span></a> responded and found nothing after searching the vicinity. Moving inside her house, the deputies requested her ID, and Massey began searching for it. The situation escalated quickly when Massey removed a pot of boiling water from her stove after the deputies asked her to check on it. Massey lifted the pot and said twice, "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus." Grayson screamed that he would "fucking shoot [her] right in [her] fucking face", drew his service pistol, and yelled, "Drop the fucking pot". Massey apologized, ducked behind a counter, raised her hands, and briefly rose. Grayson then shot at her three times, with one shot fatally wounding Massey in the head.
