Judge Declares Mistrial In Murder Case Against Former S.C. Police Officer
http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-...murder-case-against-former-s-c-police-officer
For all you police apologists that seriously wonder why there is so much hostility towards cops, here's a prime example of why. This is why people hate police culture, the justice system, and the 'back the blue' types that enable it all. This cop was caught red-handed on tape planting a taser in an unarmed mans hands, to make it appear as though the victim was a threat the public; had there been no video, the victim likely would have been painted as a mad man that had to be killed by media.
Yes, I know it was a mistrial. It was likely some dumbass juror that has a cop in their family that is on the polices side no matter what. Still, this shit is just getting pathetic and frankly, it's starting to make me despise most police - I know not all are rogues.
Here is the letter from the dissenting juror in all it's disgrace.
Crawl into a hole and die, you fuck.

You are sir, are a coward or someone that is too stupid to have the same rights as everyone else. My hunch is that the you simply have some family connection to law-enforcement, so you are emotionally unable to do what it is right - despite concrete video footage. I hope the next juror does not have someone like you on it - for the sake of real justice.In a letter read from the bench by Judge Clifton Newman, the dissenting juror wrote, 'I understand the position of the court, but I cannot in good conscience consider a guilty verdict. ... I expect those who hold opposing views will not change those views.'
" 'We all struggle with the death of a man and with all that has been put before us,' the letter continued. 'I still cannot convict the defendant. At the same time my heart does not want to tell the Scott family that the man who killed [Walter Scott] ... is innocent. But with the choices, I cannot and will not change my mind"
Crawl into a hole and die, you fuck.
