He wouldn't have been in any danger. The poor delicate snowflake cops are so very afraid of the dark-skinned ones they have to just start firing whenever they see one.

I do not want to live or visit where these kinds of "mistakes" are totally fine with the police chief. Sounds like an entire police force of fuck ups and trigger happy assholes. Hide yo kids, hide yo wives, hide yo husbands. I'm fucking serious ya'll.

" He was cleared of any wrongdoing/ It's over & done with. "Is cold-blooded murder EVER " Over & done with " ?!?!The emotional pain and loss as the legacy to this murder. The karmic debt this Officer can choose or ignore, depending on if he can truly atone for his willful act of terror, hatred, & ignorance. His choice; but the wound is never " Over & done with. " We are talking about cold-blooded murder.

Flanagan also hired Eric Smith, the suspended Bethesda, Ohio, police chief who is currently under investigation by the Ohio Attorney General's office.

Don't expect too much to come from that investigation. Ohio's attorney general is currently the Republican gubernatorial nominee, and he wouldn't want to lose that precious Law and Order vote.

Yes. Hiring a cop who shot a black 12-year-old is an act of racist terror, a threat to every person of color in the town.

Yes. Very much like how Barf Keggernaugh got confirmed in large part BECAUSE of the sexual assault accusations, not despite, and (as Robyn pointed out) Trump got elected BECAUSE of the Access Hollywood tape.

These people are monsters and they're proud of their monstrosity, and they want to show off what monsters they are to all the little monsters around them.

I love "cop Omerta." That's what this is: a code of silence. And too many cops are no better than mobsters.
