Sure, but I don't think I'd charge them with murder.
You know, I think this actually is one of the situations where I'd be ok with a felony-murder charge.Quote:

Excerpt for our police apologists here:
Also:Quote:
n Wichita, the local police force defended the killing of the unarmed Finch by saying that he didn’t hold his hands the right way when he answered the door and appeared to be reaching for something.
These sorts of familiar excuses for police violence are often buttressed by stern lectures from officers and random tweeters alike to always act thus-and-so around cops. But why must American citizens be drilled in reacting with military stoicism to having guns pointed in their faces — especially African-Americans, who bear the brunt of unwarranted police violence?

Fact: In the first 24 days of 2015, police in the US fatally shot more people than police did in England and Wales, combined, over the past 24 years.
Honestly make those kinds of comparisons is silly unless you look at how many police officers have been killed in England and Wales.
Lewk, you never miss an opportunity to "hope" for revenge, or use the police and/or penal system to inflict pain (even torture, or death), do you? Your quest for Law and Order is undone every time you say shit like that. :rolleyes:Quote:

There are two types of people in the world. Those who have morals and those who don't. The only thing that prevents those without morals from doing bad stuff is fear of consequences.Quote:

I keep saying America is fucked up, not sure what you're trying to prove beyond that. How many officers died in England and Wales in the last 24 years?Quote:

Attorney: Family of 'swatting' victim wants officer charged
In a letter Tuesday, Finch's mother, Lisa Finch, says officials are compounding the family's grief by not allowing her to see her son's body or returning it for burial.
This is perhaps the most telling statement for how messed up you are and how poorly you understand how normal people operate.Quote:

Strange cover up given its got widespread publicity.
I'd have thought taking evidence would be standard at this stage and with this being an online hoax the computers could have evidence on them. When they don't they'll be returned.
Usually how such things are exposed no?Quote:

No I don't think cover ups happen very often at all. Anyone can get on Twitter nowadays.

Oh they operate in a different way? I mean to be sure people don't just do bad stuff just to do bad stuff, they do it for some gain or perceived gain. But ultimately those without a moral compass that prevents them from doing bad things will only not do bad things because the effort is greater than than the value they perceive it to be. The consequences are what keeps the savages in line.Quote:
