Police shoot unarmed suspects 137 times after pursuit in East Cleveland; 2 dead

[Kirk Freeman]

This time justice will be served. Go ahead, kick.

Justice was served. The officer was prosecuted and the government failed to prove its case. The government was held to its burden and it failed.

Wait, are INGOtarians in favor of the Constitution or against the Constitution today? I lose track because of inconsistencies.

The court reached a legal outcome. That is not synonymous with justice. I cannot begin to relate to a person who lives by the philosophy, "if the government decrees it, it is just."

What is "Justice"?

From what little I've been able to find, it looks to me like the judge found a defense of impossibility. What are your thoughts on whether that would/could apply in this circumstance?

 

[Denny347]

The justice system worked as designed regardless of the outcome. I find no cause to believe the system was circumvented to achieve this particular outcome.

I guess there are different functional definitions of the word "worked"

What is "truth"

I remember that that quote from somewhere

Charged
arraigned
tried
aquitted/convicted

"worked"

the only problem with the system is that it's full of people. And they have any number of issues and problems.

There's also

appealed
conviction upheld
appealed again
conviction upheld
appealed again
conviction upheld
30+ years later, exonerated because evidence used to convict had been tampered with, confession had been beaten out of the convict, or simple DNA tests cleared him.

"worked"

"worked"

Happens every day
people fail
who did the beating, tampering? The system?
no, people in the system abusing the system.

"the system" in not a defendant
you can't sue "the system"
you can't accuse "the system"

 

[Kirk Freeman]

The court reached a legal outcome.

Just not the one INGOtarians wanted thus it is "unjust".

The INGOtarian Queen of Hearts system--sentence first then trial, depending on politics--is invalid as it is unjust.

Put your Tyranny pom poms down and see that the government's evidence was tested and failed.

Yes, it worked. The State's evidence was tested and found wanting.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

I believe it better termed a problem of causation.

 

[D-Ric902]

Yes, it worked. The State's evidence was tested and found wanting.

Thankfully our "system" isn't based on;

"it's obvious to anyone looking at it"

You mean to tell me that the Rules of Evidence trump the Rules of Politics?

Wait until the INGOtarians hear about this outrage!

they're taking away my FREEDOM!!

 

[Kirk Freeman]

they're taking away my FREEDOM!!

Yes, the government will do that. Good thing there are criminal defense attorneys to stand up to the government for you.

 

[CathyInBlue]

Or sell you out to the state by neglecting to use the best law, which you bring to them, meaning they didn't even have to go looking for it.

 

[ModernGunner]

Thankfully our "system" isn't based on;

"it's obvious to anyone looking at it"

Well, except on INGO, of course.

 

[ModernGunner]

...30+ years later, exonerated... "worked"

Yep.

AFAIK, no one said the system moved quickly.
