I'm not too familiar with the laws surrounding voluntary manslaughter or the rules regarding police discharging their firearms in Kentucky. That said, if the police announced themselves and a person responded by firing on them, they could argue that they were justified in returning fire potentially. Hence that singular witness presenting a reasonable doubt. And the data on this front aren't very encouraging either. In my mind, it's more a case of local judicial officials not pursuing cases that they can't win than negligence. Long-term solutions to police brutality and unjustified killings are going to need to change laws or, better yet, change the culture of policing and the way in which departments interact with communities.

Well, we found the law.
I believe 1a would apply, seeing as they were there for the boyfriend and ended up hitting Taylor, though their being police officers might change things.

it's only rigged when the outcome doesn't go your way. besides all the stuff afterwards Law Abiding Citizen shows the criminal justice system in it's true form. the system works the way it does not the way you want it to work.

yes my point being is that when you dont get the outcome you want you say it's rigged or the system failed when in fact it didn't.

No he didn't and to claim otherwise is to engage in libel.

At best, he was incredibly reckless and contributed heavily towards the death of Floyd.

I don't want to unjustly condemn anyone, but he literally killed a man in one of the most terrible ways he could for no defensible reason. That's murder to me. George Floyd could have been alive now.

No he did not.

What else do you call what he did? Kneeling on someone's neck while he's pleading for his life for almost ten minutes?

Police serve local communities though? I don't think the local sheriff who talks to my daddy and brother about fishing spots is necessarily a servant of the neoliberal establishment. He's a product of the community, as much as any of us. He's an employee of the government, sure, but his usual work is just pulling over guys who had a bit too much to drink at a bonfire.

^ This. Imagine Facebook jail but it's a real place and you get sent there for trolling Karens on unnecessarily politicized meme pages. Or imagine the local bubba militia becoming the monopoly on coercion. You do not want this future.

"Then it was as if all the beauty of Ardha, devastating in its color and form and movement, recalled to him, more and more, the First Music, though reflected dimly. Thus Alnair wept bitterly, lamenting the notes which had begun to fade from his memory. He, who had composed the world's first poem upon spying a gazelle and who had played the world's first song upon encountering a dove perched upon a moringa, in beauty, now found only suffering and longing. Such it must be for all among the djinn, souls of flame and ash slowly dwindling to cinders in the elder days of the world."
