This administration consistently makes decisions without facts. ISIL is a minor inconvenience. Iraq is now a wonderful place so we can pull ALL troops out. The Russians are not a problem.
This is a fine idea and its too bad it has nothing to do with how this will play out. Any criminal trial for the cop will come down to his point of view on that day. Armed, unarmed, suspect in a robbery, or totally innocent will have no impact. Just the phrase “I felt threatened”. This jury will have no option but to send him home. …..Justice will only come if the culture that created this situation changes. A court, a conviction does not have the power to make such a change.
Over 400 police related “Homicides” a year in the U.S.. How many get coverage? How many are related to police taking down truly, really, “bad guys” trying to kill them or others?
There are bad cops, and agencies, like Ferguson’s appears to be, but the vast majority do a good job. But! I still am repelled by the increased “militarization” of law enforcement in the U.S., 99.9% driven by the “War on Drugs”, and the “War on Terror”.
Every time Sharpton speaks, one can safely assume that the truth is on the other side. Just because he is BLACK LOUDMOUTH, how many Mulligans is he getting?

i have no idea what you mean by the rosie part
do you mean the woman who called to tell the cop version and who said she was his friend on the same call ?
because if you claim she said she was there then you are lying

Note that the finger is on the scale’s right-hand pan. He must mean the Supreme Court.
