I just heard Michael Slager is getting off, One juror could not find it in his heart to convict him even with that video. I guess now it's legal to shoot someone in the back and still get off scott free. I have a feeling there will be some angry people protesting. WTF

How do you select these stories out of the tens of thousands of similar stories that hit the wires every day?

I use several news compilation services. They rarely let me down.
I also visit a site called GunFail which gives me the idiots with guns stories. They are a little more hit and miss but in general there are enough assholes with guns so that there is no shortage of stories of morons shooting themselves or others.

He didn't exactly get off. It just ended in a mistrial, and he will be tried again, proving that at least one in twelve Americans is a total fucking idiot.
But if Slager isn't convicted on this one, we may as well give up on ever convicting a cop and declare murder legal for them.
