Yeah, that’s not how due process works. You don’t know what happened or what the evidence is. And from your responses, I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that you have no law enforcement experience or training. Sorry, but the outrage you feel upon reading a few news stories online is vastly insufficient to imprison another human.
You’re talking about simple mob justice, that’s all.
- DanBC 9y ago> You’re talking about simple mob justice, that’s all. Unfortunate turn of phrase, when it's the police who kill over a thousand citizens without trial or often arrest each year.
- ryanwaggoner 9y agoAnd that’s a horrible problem, but the answer isn’t more senseless violence as payback.
- rland12 9y agoThe issue is that the officer is not facing a trial. No chance for due process because the people are not bringing a case, so it doesn't matter what the evidence is. He is on administrative leave.
- ryanwaggoner 9y agoI agree, not saying he shouldn’t be held accountable. I was responding to the idea that we know what happened, he’s obviously a murderer, etc.
- anigbrowl 9y agoIt's too bad you can't work up this level of sanctimony on behalf of the innocent dead guy. We have quite a lot of information and evidence already, and while our conclusions must necessarily be tentative we are absolutely entitled to form a preliminary impression.
