It was over a year ago and they went through great lengths to cover it up, including destroying evidence and witness intimidation.

He's gonna be back on the street with in a year. There's no way to prove the murder was premeditated. Charges aren't gonna stick inked they try him for Murder 2 as well or something.

Well you see, the way it works is that if a white cop shoots a black man you get to protest no matter what the outcome.

If they let the cop go, you protest because the cop is getting away with murder.

If the find the cop guilty of murder, you protest because a cop murdered someone.

It's a riot/riot kind of situation.

Stuff could have changed in that period of time to where the cop didn't kill the guy though. Like they permanatly ended his life but zombie tech made a huge come up. Or the cops got angry he wasn't dead enough and dug up his corpse and shot it a few more times.

am i ignorant to think murder charges take quite a long time to process and investigate especially when it's a police officer?

when did everyone learn about this by the way? i'm so baffled by the protests

Nah.

You don't even know what it is and you're calling it 'the #1 bad decision drug' lol. It's a disassociative.


So yeah some people take way too much and trip out but odds are they were whackos anyway because thousands of people do PCP all the time with no issues. Cough syrup is a disassociative meaning Robitussin can have the same general effects as PCP at a high enough dose.

A much worse decision is taking some random research chemical you know nothing about.


I never hear about people drinking cough syrup taking off their clothes and fighting cops. I think at this point in the game given what we know, any cop who shoots someone on pcp gets a free pass and maybe a medal.

Maybe cops should be allowed to do pcp to even the playing field, get that superhuman negro slave descendant strength, then they can't claim an advantage from the other guy being high on pcp.

yes because when it's not on film they cover for each other and the prosecutor never even has a reason to consider charging them

The video they showed was brutal and does show a murder. Unless new evidence arises the cop is most definitely going to get the book thrown at him.

noted celeb likely-murderer OJ Simpson was charged 4 days after the murder of his ex-wife took place. not 400 days.

there wasn't any video showing him killing people in cold blood, either.

But I'm not sure why people in that poo poo hole city aren't questioning why a 17 year old was high on drugs and wondering around at night with a knife?? Seems kind of problematic that the kids actions and decisions aren't phasing the Chicago black community

If cops are so poo poo scared of knives maybe they should all wear chainmail and start strutting around like the City Watch in Game of Thrones. It'd look pretty cool.

To be fair, the young black man with a knife is known to viciously maul people for no reason, and he might have been rabid, the officer reacted accordingly, any smart person understands this.

To be fairer it's probably okay for a police officer to shoot a man with a knife. It's certainly not okay, for the police officer to reload and shoot the man again.
