A judge on Tuesday dismissed all charges, including murder, against the Philadelphia police officer who had been accused of wrongfully killing a motorist last month.

Mark Dial had pulled over 27-year-old Eddie Irizarry on Aug. 14 before the officer shot him through the rolled-up driver's side window, body camera footage has shown.

The footage was played in court on Tuesday but Philadelphia Municipal Judge Wendy Pew ruled there was not enough evidence to go to trial, bringing an emotional reaction from Irizarry's loved ones in court.

The defense argued that Dial, 27, could be seen backing away from the vehicle as he opened fire, believing the motorist had a gun. The footage showed that Irizarry had been holding a knife in his right hand.

Dial had been charged with murder, voluntary manslaughter, official oppression and four other counts before Pew dismissed all counts.

"My thoughts are with Eddie Irizarrys family and loved ones today as they continue to seek justice and answers around his death," Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said in a statement, urging the district attorney's office to "do everything in its power to pursue justice and accountability."

Prosecutors vowed to appeal Pew's ruling and have charges brought against Dial again.

The District Attorneys Office disagrees with the decision by Municipal Court Judge Wendy L. Pew to dismiss all criminal charges against defendant Mark Dial for the killing of Eddie Irizarry on August 14, 2023," said a statement by the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office.

This. Walks up to a window that is up (which wouldn't allow the occupant to "lunge at you with a knife") and just mag dumps him.

At what point do blatant miscarriages of justice justify vigilante acts?

The video on its own is damning but the fact that the window was up is even more damning. So Irizarry was going to stab Dial with a knife while his window was up? Hell, he wouldn't have even been able to roll the window down in time to do that before before being killed, considering how Dial shot him in literally a few seconds.

How the fuck was this video not damning enough of a conviction?

Life tips for getting away with shit:

1) Be very rich
or
2) Be a cop

They do already. I hope that cop gets his and I hope he suffers.

Even with a knife you cant justify killing in this case, but my issue is even further, I dont see driver with a knife or anything in any of the videos, plus cops pull up with guns already drawn. Yet cops got away with murder

Looting has begun, unfortunately. Dumbasses

150 years ago, with the failure of reconstruction.
