Obviously.

Look, I've already said I'm not defending the cop. I think the real issue here is that you have two people who fucked up: one is dead, and the other is a cop. I think cops need to be a little more lenient and a lot less power-trippy, and people who attack cops need to be punished more severely. And given recent events, if the cops aren't careful and the BLM people are savvy, it could turn into people vs cops thing. And then shit gets really messy. As it stands, cops are now walking a razor's edge between getting kilt and getting convicted, and trust in police is as low as it's been in a long time.

Gonna stop here before I ramble on for hours.

From my first post in this thread:

Still should have tased his ass though.

No response to the rest? :sigh

Didn't read, figured since the 1st sentence was repetition the rest would follow suit. :dunno

It was a response to a repeated false accusation. If someone kept calling you a fag, Sox fan, or capitalist, would you not do the same? :?

You should read the rest.

Once and then move on. I'm under no illusion that any argument, regardless how valid, is going to change anyone's mind here. I'll read the rest shortly.

A week of strong testimony and star witnesses, Tuesday the state put theirs on and then rested their case. The defense began and soon after put up their own defendant Wes Kerrick.

The week started with jurors watching Officer Kerrick showing how Jonathan Ferrell struggled with him.

"I felt like if, if I did not shoot at him, that he, he was acting like he was going to cause me harm. I felt like he would take my gun from me," said Officer Kerrick.

Then the state went with their star witness, Captain Mike Campagna, who said Kerrick was wrong.

"The decision to draw a firearm based on fact that other officer has drawn taser is not consistent with our policy," said Campagna.

The state rested its case, and the defense called Eric Brady, who counseled Kerrick after a 2012 incident where he and another officer both pulled tasers but no gun.

"With the fact there could have been potential weapon there, there should have been cover with lethal force if need be," said Brady.

Thursday Officer Thornell Little testified that he and Kerrick acted in self defense after Ferrell yelled "Shoot me" and Little tased him.

"His behavior was erratic, and I believe his intent was injuring officers," said Officer Little.

Then Officer Wes Kerrick took the stand, explaining why he shot Jonathan Ferrell.

"I thought I was going to die," said Kerrick. "Here was a suspect, matched the description of a suspect late a night, early morning hours. He just ran through a taser. At the time, I thought the taser had worked and I had absolutely no idea if he had a weapon on him."

Friday, the defense called more officers and first responders to talk about Kerrick's mental and physical state after the incident.

The one that drew his taser could've been wrong and ended up dead if not for his partner :moon
