Yes

Justice was served and financial compensation was awarded. That's how the justice system functions.

this has to be to rub it in their faces. no one would seriously award money like that without doing it for sadistic "HAHA you lose! Poor black fam!"

Holding a weapon in and of itself is not a crime so if thats all he was doing then not fair and not next. Anyone defending the cops actions based on that fact alone is an idiot.

Reaching behind your back is impossible? I can do that without even an ounce of effort and reach into my pants. Girls use their back pockets to carry their phones and not to mention that back pockets wouldnt even exist with those physical limitations. Maybe its impossible for you but certainly not everybody else.

He thinks he's being cheeky, ignoring the fact that one can not be waving a gun around and also have it in their back pocket at the same time. Also, he was shot through a door

Id hope so. I doubt he was waving the gun around seeing as it was unloaded. I dont feel like I can trust the word of the Police here that he was.

Welp, no more thought needed! Cops said he had a weapon so thats that! Even though that isnt illegal in this country. And they even found it in his back pocket AFTER he was shot. Case closed here!

For a lot of conservatives gun rights only apply to whites. Remember that Conservative Saint Ronald Reagan enacted gun control after the Black Panthers legally had guns on the California state capital.

So the Judge really doesnt play a part, instead a panel of civilians made the decision?

The judge is there to explain the law and oversee the trial. If there's a jury, they determine the facts in accordance with the law and determine which side gets awarded and how much.


If the losing side filed appropriate motions the judge has the discretion to preclude a jury or after a jury verdict if the jury came back with a clearly incorrect holding the judge can nullify the outcome and order a new trial.

/topic

If it was in his back pocket, then how was he holding it?

What part of 'found later' don't you understand?

Did the police place it there to intentionally muddy the details of the shooting? Did someone in his family don an invisibility cloak and compromise a crime scene under police watch?

something unexplained must have happened. since humans cannot actually access or reach behind thier back.

He pointed the gun at police and they waited until he put it back to shoot him? Was the cop the slowest drawing officer in the world?

He wants to act like I'm a dumbass because I actually questioned what the police reported. He had a weapon in his hands, but he was shot dead through a door with an unloaded gun in his back pocket.

But I'm being silly for asking how that shit's supposed to add up.

We all cared when that white guy in Wichita was murdered by the police.

Now if this family has a gofundme page I'd gladly donate.
