> Fine, specifically cite the mistruth, with factual, objective refutation. 1) "The evidence, when viewed as a whole, does not support the conclusion that Wilson’s uses of deadly force were “objectively unreasonable” under the Supreme Court’s definition."

its in the report #2

> The definition is bullshit and absent objective evidence is far too heavily tilted toward officer discretion. If the officer "feels" their life or anyone in the communities life is threatened by an individual, they have the right to execute the suspect. That's an absolutely subjective metric to end someones life, and should bring pause to anyone with a basic measure of common sense and justice.

No, the definition isn't bullshit and is not absent object evidence. The DoJ was looking to convict him, and instead found he acted like any other police officer when a thug attacks him.

The report about the police department as whole is damning and shows some serious systemic problems, but the officer acted properly in the specific incident.

But, hey forget about actual heinous acts so you can go with the narrative.



No, the definition isn't bullshit Cop:I felt my life was threatened.

Dead person: You didn't feel that way.

Cop: yes I did.

Judge: okay, dead guy stay dead. Case closed. actual heinous acts yeah, jaywalking thugs must certainly die ...


If you continue to be under the impression he was killed because he was "jaywalking" then you believe a narrative and not actual evidence. You are basically Judge Gordon from the article since the facts of a case don't matter just a narrative put forward by people looking to push an agenda or, in this case, ratings.


If you continue to use descriptions like thug you expose your own biases. And you did not address the thrust of my argument: how can a dead citizen make his or her case against an officers testimony of their feelings?


My bias goes with the reports.

"how can a dead citizen make his or her case against an officers testimony of their feelings?"

That is not what the DoJ based their findings on, so it is an irrelevant argument.


If your not interested in a sensible justice system, I guess it is irrelevant.
