Video released of cop shooting unarmed man in the back 1

Video shows it all.
Cop was acquitted on all charges.
Quote:
a jury in Dauphin County acquitted Hummelstown Police Officer Lisa Mearkle of third-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of 59-year-old David Kassick. Kassick had ran from Mearkle after being stopped on a minor traffic violation (expired inspection sticker).
He was then Tased repeatedly and subsequently shot to death in spite of being on the ground with his hands clearly in view and facing the other direction. Contrary to Mearkle’s claims that she shot him in self defense because she thought he was reaching into his jacket for a weapon, no weapon of any sort was ever found.
In spite of that, Mearkle continues yelling for him to get down on the ground and to show her his hands, which are clearly in view as he lays on the ground the whole time. It’s pretty reminiscent of the many, many, many videos in which you see cops yelling for people to stop resisting even though they are not in any way actually resisting.
David Kassick Shot by Ofc Lisa MearkleBoth the verdict and the video have gotten the expected reaction. After the verdict was read Kassick’s family and others in the courtroom shouted “murderer” at Mearkle. Similarly, public reaction since the video was released has been decidedly against Mearkle, with most viewers expressing the same opinion of her.
While Officer Mearkle, who has been on paid vacation since the shooting, has expressed the intention of returning to the streets of Hummelstown, Kassick’s family has already filed a federal lawsuit over his slaying. So, soon the citizens of Dauphin County and Pennsylvania will be forced to bail out yet another Killer Cop, who decided to fear for their life for no actual reason.

What the actual fuck? Jesus Christ. Was he shot by accident?
That looked like a torture film
Just saw in the news this morning that cops in Louisiana shot a six year old kid five times and killed him and he wasnt armed either.

why don't people just kill these cops? They're clearly not fit for life on Earth. If a local cop killed a friend or family member of mine without being in significant danger themselves, I'd like to feel like I'd have it in me to hunt them down and kill them. It would just be like picking out the weeds.

Last month all these right wingers went nuts about a war on cops when this cop in Illinois was shot and killed. Turns out the cop was under investigation for embezzlement and fuck knows what else and he shot himself and then called in a report that he'd been shot by three guys. Fucking cops are psychotic.

the tazer shit was out of control torture, but i think the issue is we only seen part of what happened. I believe the context that is missing here is this guy was repeatedly refusing the officers orders. It starts with the guy walking away from her with the tazer already attached, my guess is that tazer shit was happening for a long time before that and thats why this camera got turned on because even the cop knew shit was starting to get weird and something was about to happen.
so this guy was refusing orders and walking away, she's tazin the guy for a while she turns camera on, guy falls down. again what i think is happening is this person getting tazed keeps saying 'ok' but then keeps walking away and doing other shit.
So the quote said the cops defense was he was grabbing for a possible gun. i looked the video over again and he did have his hand in a position that looked like he could have been reaching for something right before he was shot.
thinking about it, i think the tazer shit is that every time she turned the tazer off the person kept moving around especially the hands in the direction of under his face towards his chest
the cop should have cuffed him tho i mean she's like 4 feet away and he's on the ground, she's got a tazer in one hand and a gun in the other which is pretty stupid, its one or the other not some gangster shit with a gun in each hand. if you pull your real gun drop the tazer, move in, cuff em

I don't. We should be charging cops with their violent crimes.
Hopefully this cop will go down on federal charges or sheekle will take her out with a stuff kick in her lady nuts

and the entire jury is cops too?
the issue is on the internet we are all viewing this for the first time, for 30 seconds, only seeing videos, no other evidence, and have nothing on the line. The jury swears an oath and looks everything over carefully.
people are idiots, we all know this, and most people suck at their jobs, cops its no different. The issue is, was she being bad at her job? Yes she is clearly an idiot who shouldn't be a cop, but was she out to just murder people for no reason? As long as that guy isn't complying 100% with orders, its really hard to pin it on the cop. She says don't move and he's reaching into his coat

Do you really?
I think that they, like most people and in particular most people selected to be in juries, have a pro-cop prejudice and will believe a cop's word at face value and justify cop's brutality. That is my assumption based on what I see in society, I didn't read anything about this individual decision making process.

This is ridiculous. Your countries security apparatus are so riff with corruption at this point that I can't see it heading in any other direction then mass protests and riots. They've essentially given cops the greenlight to kill with no reprocussions whatsoever. A power none of your cops seem that shy about using.

you see pretty much anything a cop does as a violent crime, who the fuck is going to take a job that they know will result in a criminal charge or get them killed because they were trying to 'act appropriately' based on your views
this particular cop was charged, she did stand trial and a jury of 12 citizens with no connection to her found her not guilty of any crimes, once more, justice was served.
