The cop that shot and killed innocent teenager Oscar Grant while he was laying on the ground handcuffed - that cop got only 2 years in jail. How does that math work?

so justice means that if a cop dies s-one else gotta die? sounds like a gang to me..

THE SLAIN COP, NOT MUMIA ABU-JAMAL, WAS A FELON. OFFICER DAN FAULKNER WAS A RACIST THUG WHO WAS THE RECIPIENT OF SEVERAL RACE-RELATED INTERNAL AFFAIRS COMPLAINTS, ALL OF WHICH WERE "WHITE" WASHED. HAD THE PHILLY PD DONE ITS JOB BY FIRING FAULKNER FOR HIS RACIST MISCONDUCT, HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN FATALLY SHOT BY AN UNKNOWN HERO FOR HIS RACIALLY-MOTIVATED ASSAULT OF JAMAL'S BROTHER. ALSO, MANY JAMAL SUPPORTERS, INCLUDING ME, ARE WHITE CONSERVATIVES. BURN IN HELL, RACIST PIG!

MUMIA ABU-JAMAL'S TRIAL JUDGE, AL SABO, WAS AN EX-COP AND CONTEMPORARY FOP MEMBER WHO, LIKE OFFICER DANIEL FAULKNER, WAS THE RECIPIENT OF MYRIAD RACE-RELATED INTERNAL AFFAIRS COMPLAINTS, ALL OF WHICH WERE "WHITE" WASHED. SABO REGULARLY CONVICTED BLACk DEFENDANTS DUE TO THEIR RACE-- AND MANIPULATED JURIES TO DO SO. SABO SAW TO IT THAT TEN OF JAMAL'S JURORS WERE ADMITTEDLY-RACIST WHITES WHO SUPPORTED CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. ONLY ONE JUROR WAS BLACK. JUST 8% OF THE JURY POOL WERE BLACKS.

Bad acting

[buzzclick500]

In a person with a healthy psyche, grief and rage are short-lived, and they go on about the business of living. Of course, I'm aware that she could be staging her angst for buckaroos, which is o.k., too. That would be her own business, literally. It's obvious that she eats well.

[buzzclick500]

It's always the same thing--a bunch of sour-faced, "deeply hurt, and justice-seeking" people out for a pompous photo op and ready to throw someone into "an eternity in hell"(as though THEY had some say or control in the matter)for something they're not even sure happened the way the media hypes it. She probably got a grand bonus for the perfectly-timed crying scene, too. Excellent acting. Police wives know the deal going in--it's the PENSION.

The widow is....umm, well...what's the best way to say this....? Whew.

@ImDavidGurney lol. You know nothing. Ignorance, arrogance and cowardice blind you just like grief and rage has blinded this widow from the truth.

[ImDavidGurney]

I don't like the discriminatory affirmative action laws,but I don't go around shooting black cops.

@Leco070 Some may make the same assertion in your case.We know your kind.
