"I got my arm stuck!" And its just nonsense."

Now watch police defense force come out and say "WELL HE WAS STRESSED! COP WAS IN THE RIGHT!"
 
If they give him a Murder charge, it should alleviate some of the tension.

The problem in other cases is that the cop just gets desk duty or leave and wind up not being indicted.

A Murder charge at least tells everyone that it was wrong and the cop will go on trial for murder.

I don't know if a murder chance will change much.
Ok, you addressed the problem of police killing un-armed people and not being held accountable. Until they can fix this 'killing un-armed people' thing, there is still a huge reason to protest.

How about middle and rich class to see it. Cops have always been shitty with low income families. It not just all white people...
Sure, but they've been particularly shitty to minorities in the US. Enough so that there is unabashedly a problem with ethnicity here.

I like this prosecutor.

(paraphrasing)

It's a traffic violation. Let him go.

University should leaving policing to the police.

If this video is as bad as this prosecutor says it is, this Zimmerman lawyer has their work cut out for them.

I feel like I'm going to regret watching this.

I think you have this backwards, they are representing the family of the person killed. The worse the video it is the better it is for their cause.

They'll say "the system works" b/c he's going to be charged with murder, when what needs to be done (according to the accounts so far) is a conviction.

I so hope the video doesn't have audio

the moment I hear any audio from that shit I'm killing it

I don't even know why this is making me feel so anxious. I've seen the other videos with no problem but this o--oh shit there's audio. fuck that. muting it.

Dude spent a lot of time shitting on the university police. :-/

Maybe I'm reading too much into his reaction/body language, but maybe this cop has a history? He wouldn't answer the question and that's the point he went in on the university PD.
 
If there is nothing to worry about then why don't they release the video? The refusal make it even more suspicious.

EDIT: So they are releasing the video afterall, not gonna watch it though, I can't stand seeing people dying.

Did they blur out some of the video or was it the officer running that made the video look like that?
It was on MSNBC
