Even when a thread like this topic starts out with everyone pretty much agreeing all it takes is someone tipping the conversation to one side and it's on like donkey kong. Happens every time.

I will wait and see, but I doubt any jail time will be served.
This is horrible. And if it hadn't of been for that cell phone video, that murderer would have probably gotten away with it

What is your reasoning for thinking that? I think I agree
I sincerely hope you are wrong. I don't see any way to come close to justifying what that officer did. If he walks the citizens would have good reason to tear that place apart.
What did you expect? An officer murdered an innocent man and tried to cover it up.....and most likely had help. Cop bash of this department is well deserved.
There is NEVER a reason to do that. The result would be more dead people. I know you don't really mean that, though.
No real reason other than recent history. I've seen this too many times to continue falling for it. It looks very clear right now, but we've not seen his Facebook page, criminal history, or anything else the media and other contributors will provide to the public.
I see a big difference in this case and others in recent history. I don't want to see anyone else killed over this but I sure wouldn't blame people for protesting if justice is not served.
I really don't see a difference, but we shall see what happens.
The others were self-defense situations. This one wasn't. How do you view them?
Well, I'm not sure if it will not turn out to be self defense. Some of the others didn't start out as self defense. The video doesn't show everything, so we'll have to wait and see what the officer has to say.
Compare what we know now (still, very little) to the initial accounting of the story before the video was released.
