re: #3 lawhawk
Or let’s explain Akai Gurley?
Was he black? Did he have a gun? Nope. Just blast away anyway, and then text to the union rep even as Gurley is bleeding out before me. [and nope, that’s not sarcasm, because that’s actually what happened]
Gurley’s death was obviously accidental. Nobody is trying to claim he had it coming (heck, CCJ hasn’t even looked up his criminal record yet). The question is whether-or-not the cop who shot him was negligent.
