    Just holy shit.

    Judge Lawrence Flood ruled Thursday there was probable cause for the officers to fire their weapons, and that “The officers are not the aggressors.”

    Surveillance camera footage

    • Unmarked squad car rolls up on two guys
    • One of two thinks it’s gang members, raises hands, one hand has wine and cell phone other hand is empty. Other guy(with gun)runs.
    • Cops start blasting
    • Running guy shoots back
    • Unarmed guy gets shot by cops
    • Police lie by saying both guys shot at them first *Video shows that cops lied
    • Cops on trial
    • Cops acquitted “The officers are not the aggressors.”
    • Cops now seeking back pay since they weren’t paid while on trial

    It sure looks like the cops were the aggressors to me.

      I don’t think you get it. Cops are heroes. They couldn’t possibly do wrong. And if they do something wrong you have to consider how stressful their job is. Can you blame them if they accidentally pull their firearm instead of their taser? Or if they drunkenly walk into the wrong apartment and kill the person who loves there? They had MARIJUANA in there! And they have to let off some steam by telling jokes about how a 26 year olds life is valueless or laughing that they tore an elderly woman with dementia’s rotator cuff. Man, I hate this country sometimes.
