Quote:Mistrial for 2 Ex-Officers in Albuquerque Killing of Mentally Ill Man
Quote:ALBUQUERQUE — After two full days of deliberations, a jury here announced on Tuesday that it had failed to reach a verdict in the murder trial of two former police officers for the 2014 shooting death of a homeless man with paranoid schizophrenia.
And why did they blow him away?
Quote:He told Ms. McGinn that he never saw Mr. Boyd lunge toward the officers but that he “had a feeling he was going to lunge forward.”
And apparently that was good enough for some of the assholes on the jury.
So we've gone beyond "I shot him because he made a suspicious movement" to "I shot him because I thought he might start making a suspicious movement". That's rock bottom.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."
