Jesus Christ. We're never going to see justice, are we?

Nope. Not when we've got one political party doing everything in their power to allow this, and another that doesn't exactly have it high up their priorities list.

It still baffles me that someone suggested he sit down or run away, is it truly unsafe for black people to even walk toward cops? Its ridiculous, he had no idea someone called the cops on him

He said he believed Ferrell had other options rather than moving toward the officers, like sitting down or running another way.


Ha, no

Why in the fuck would he run away? He wanted help. You fuckers.

No retrial. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/08/28/us-usa-police-north-carolina-idUSKCN0QX25020150828

North Carolina prosecutors said on Friday they have decided against seeking a retrial for Randall Kerrick, a white police officer whose manslaughter trial in the killing of an unarmed black man ended in a hung jury last week.

The North Carolina Attorney General’s office said it would move to dismiss the case after a jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict, with eight of the 12 panelists favored acquittal.

“In consideration of the jurors' comments, the evidence available to the state, and our background in criminal trials, it is our prosecutors' unanimous belief a retrial will not yield a different result,” Senior Deputy Attorney General Robert Montgomery wrote to District Attorney Andrew Murray.

I am utterly shocked.

6/7 white people favored acquitting. Wow.

I love that they all decided that race had nothing to do with it because of course they did.

Nah promotion man. He's a hero now probably.

And the world keeps turning.

Pathetic really, add don't get hurt in an accident and ask for help on the list of things black folk can't do.

Not a shocker. Did Vox have an article that compiled these sorts of cases involving black people? There's virtually no chance to get a conviction if I recall. Justice could be served in the event of mistake if it was easier for the justice system to convict.

It's telling that the first thing the majority white Jury did was decide that racism cannot be considered.

Game over right there.
