Deaf Man shot by N.C trooper

[Jamzmania]

I highly doubt the officer involved will be punished

Why not? They killed a man. If the officer isn't punished then a lot of people are gonna face jail time for corruption.

Not every killing is unjustified.

Some how they will make it completely justified and the officer will walk. I've seen it happen time and time again, I've lost faith in the US justice system

I get that, but I'm saying if it is, which I believe it is unjustified given the situation, the officer responsoble will be held accountable

[USS Monitor]

That's a really sad misunderstanding, and the people in charge of the police department should definitely have a talk with their officers and remind them to be careful who they shoot.

[Thermodolia]

Hahahaha

No they won't.

I'm just saying if it was u justified, they will be punished.
Despite what TV has taught us, officers do actually have to be held accountable for things.

A lot of that is true. Many police agencies will just end up playing a big game of "shuffle the officer". The officer in question will not be on patrol anymore but will still be doing police work and never facing Justice.

We have a big problem with malicious 9-1-1 callers and trigger happy cowboy cops it seems.

Well then punish those responsible for obstructing justice too. Bring some accountability to the thing

[Tobiasia]

I thought we were required to treat all police shootings as justified until proven otherwise?

We were, before so many were unjustified

It's not that we disagree, it's just unlikely to occur.

That's easier said then done.

Slight addition to that statement, maybe they should arrest the officer for manslaughter? Would this count as manslaughter? Im not an expert on US law however

Are you suggesting the murder of a deaf man that did nothing is justified?? Seriously??

It definitely would count as manslaughter however the police seem to have a "get out of jail free" card in such cases as the police officer would just have to say that the guy he killed was threatening the officer's life. And boom just like that the officer walks.

Yes.

They could be Indiana, home of Mike Pence (god I hate it here someone get me out please).

He'll probably get some paid time off for his trouble.

Paid administrative leave is a joke. And after that he'll go back to his old job

Maybe, but I wouldn't be too sure of it. It really sounds like a misunderstanding, and possibly a problem with training or a guy who needs to go into a different line of work, rather than a crime. If he didn't realize the guy was deaf -- and that's not something you always realize right away when you meet deaf people on the street -- then his reaction might have made sense.

Y'all ever get tired of beating that straw man?

This one really was not necessary and is something we should try to avoid happening again.

[Herargon]

The deaf man was young enough to could have been helped by a cochlear implantate... although I guess he had problems with his hearing nerve (don't know how it's called in English. Anyways, if you're deaf and your hearing nerve doesn't work, a cochlear implantate won't really help since the message can't be passed).

It nevertheless is disappointing to see that this happens due to ununderstandingness of people.

[Risottia]

Hahahaha

No they won't.

10 € say this won't make it into a proper court and the agent will be let go with a wristslap.

A cochlear implant is fucking expensive to get in the states

I'd bet higher then that

It's totally worth it. And you know why it is expensive to get in the states?

Because you don't have mandatory, subsidised healthcare for all. That is why.

We tried but the Republicans scuttled it. Hopefully Hillary will try again.
