Topic	The judge who acquitted Stockley gives his reasoning (cop who shot black man)
Ammonitida 09/18/17 3:50:12 PM #29:	whitelytning posted... This is how this stuff works... 1. Black guy gets shot by the cops. 2. Public gets mad no matter what without knowing any facts and riots or throw a shit storm politically. 3. Politicians dont want to touch it because they are either wrongly condemning the cops or ignoring a huge part of society and without knowing what happened why take the risk one way or the other. 4. Politicians kick it to the SA's office so they can say, "the justice system will take care of it." 5. SA's office looks at case and determines if they can bring charges. Not bringing charges would result in riots/political rage no matter how little evidence they have so if in doubt they bring charges on any evidence they can. 6. At court they can't win on bogus charges so cop is acquitted. Public rages. Politicians and SA can say they did their part and blame it on the courts. 7. Black guy still dead. Cops career ruined. Everyone mad. No one ever knows what actually happened. I don't think anyone wants this cycle to keep happening but its hard to see it going a different way in most cases. Case in point http://abcnews.go.com/US/nc-cop-charged-shooting-football-player/story?id=20264796 It first sounded like the perfect "breathing while black" case for the left-wing. Black man gets in a car wreck, survives, and then bangs on a woman's door at night apparently asking for help. Woman gets spooked and calls the police. Black man is then shot dead by the white responding officer. It took two grand juries to obtain an indictment. The first grand jury declined. The trial ended in a hung jury (most in favor of acquittal). He will not be retried. The white cop was saved by, guess what? A dash cam that recorded the victim inexplicably charging at the officer like a linebacker looking to sack a QB in the superbowl. The cop yells "get down, get down" repeatedly before unleashing. Why did he charge at the cop? No one knows for sure, but we do know that he sprinted at the cop and presented a threat to his life. <cite>Ammonitida posted [p:886836398] in The judge ...
