and yet, every single time I put up an article and bitch about how an officer got away with killing someone, i'm battered about the head and shoulders for ripping on cops and judges. What the hell do you guys want?

I'm a firm believer in the death penalty, when the evidence cannot be wrong, for instance, a video recording of the killing in progress etc. If there is any shred of doubt concerning the crime, then i'm way more apt to do life without parole.
