Hall described her assailant as a 6-foot, 230-pound African-American man wearing a green shirt and black jogging pants. Unprovoked, the man pulled out a gun and opened fire, Hall said. The bullet was found lodged in her protective vest. Hall’s account of the Sept. 13, 2016, incident came on the heels of shootings of law enforcement officers nationwide that were said to be in retaliation for white officers killing black men. And it stoked fears of unrest in the community some 50 miles south of Atlanta.

It turns out she shot herself in order to deliberately stoke racial tensions.

The overwhelming majority of the time, cops literally get away with murder. Even when their crimes are caught on tape and the whole world watches them commit a crime, often the crime never goes to trial, or if it does, the jury inevitably sides with the cop.

This?

This is rare. That's why it's newsworthy.

Ordinarily, this is precisely the sort of thing American police get away with all day long. Not only was she tried for trying to frame a citizen and for doing something not only unjust but incredibly racist, but she is actually going to prison for it. For some strange reason, the justice system actually produced justice. In Georgia, no less. I've no idea why this happened, but I do wish it happened more. Having police that are above the law is not conducive to a free society, which is precisely why most conservatives and libertarians reflexively defend police when they do something wrong.
 
Did you have to remind me? I remember when this happened, I used to work in Jackson. It's a real shithole with a long history of racism.

She should get whatever the punishment there is for shooting a police officer.

Georgia still has the death penalty, but this officer didn't die so it wasn't murder of a police officer in performance of their duties.

If you see an altercation between a civilian and a cop, you will have a first instinct before you get any facts, and that first instinct is to either sympathize with the civilian or to sympathize with the cop.

If you have the first sympathy, you are anti-authoritarian just like libertarians are.
If you have the second sympathy, Underseer is trying to recruit you.
 
But, but, but, if you shoot a vest and put it on (as opposed to putting on a vest and then it being shot), the testimony (even if false testimony) that one was a victim, and even if things are twisted such that being a victim of another is equivalent to being a victim of oneself, there's not even a chance of attempted murder being put on the table (or attempted suicide).

Why? Because the order of events are important.

If she was wearing the vest when shot, that's one thing, but putting it on after the vest is shot is something entirely different. So, no matter who shot the vest, the person wearing the vest after it was shot is irrelevant. There should be no attempted murder charge--even if it's true she shot her own vest.

She said someone else shot her while she was wearing her vest. That has been shown to be false. So, until it's been shown to be true that she was wearing the vest when it was shot, there no credible reason to think it's true.
