But that's exactly what we have. It took two trials to convict the officer who shot a fleeing suspect in the back ON CAMERA to get convicted. It wouldn't even have made it to trial if it was a regular citizen because they would be begging for a plea that doesn't include the death penalty.


Disagree

The system breaks down at times.

Are you saying police are the only ones slipping through the cracks?

There are plenty of criminals that beat charges.

No. I’m not saying it’s only the police, but it’s disproportionate when it happens, and if you subtract wrongful convictions from wrongful acquittals, then it’s not even close, possibly even negative for the regular citizen.
