- A 100% travesty of justice MarkHarman 5:44pm · 12/23/21
  - Jury had no guts, but she should have been guilty of some sort of negligence. Absolutely egregious THEISMANCARR 7:58pm · 12/23/21
  - I don’t know if it was a travesty. She bears some responsibility. He bears more IMHO.NT Frank L 6:51pm · 12/23/21
  - Don’t you think the jury had a better vantage point than you?NT conorlarkin 5:56pm · 12/23/21
    - No. The facts of the case are well known and not in disputeNT MarkHarman 11:50pm · 12/23/21
    - Black lives matter only if the are fleeing criminalsNT ColeyO 8:00pm · 12/23/21
    - At the end of the day that should be respected, But, I also can’t say I think they got it right Frank L 6:53pm · 12/23/21
- Do you think it was a correct decision?NT NedoftheHill 4:30pm · 12/23/21
  - Her story: I panicked & grabbed the wrong weapon. Him? He's dead. What charge shoulda' been brought?NT ND521 6:35pm · 12/23/21
    - Maybe none. He had an open warrant for gun charges and was non compliant. Frank L 6:50pm · 12/23/21
      - This is probably correct.NT NedoftheHill 10:29pm · 12/23/21
      - Thank you. Based on the video showing a resisting perp with an open warrant I agreeNT JarHead4ND 8:40pm · 12/23/21
  - Not sure though she was negligent but how much of it was his fault? jimbasil 5:00pm · 12/23/21
    - Honestly, I don't know. I'm inclined to think she was overcharged. NedoftheHill 10:25pm · 12/23/21
    - A lot. She is paying the price and he paid the ultimate price. He is the one with a a warrant for Frank L 6:42pm · 12/23/21
- Bad news for Alec Baldwin.NT Cole 3:11pm · 12/23/21
  - Yeah, he should have yelled "Taser" first.NT jimbasil 3:25pm · 12/23/21
    - Officer Potter should just claim she didn't pull the trigger.NT ELP 3:38pm · 12/23/21
      - No, she should have said she was in a movie not acting as a police officer.NT jimbasil 3:40pm · 12/23/21
        
        A killing is a killing. On the street w/ an uncooperative suspect or on a movie set. ELP 3:43pm · 12/23/21
        
        I see you're still having difficulty identifying two totally different events. Both tragic, jimbasil 3:47pm · 12/23/21

        The real question is, "... of being the dumbest...?" jimbasil 4:01pm · 12/23/21
        
        You can give yourself a pat on the back, but your agreement is still biased big time. ELP 4:20pm · 12/23/21
  - Ouch!NT Frankx 3:16pm · 12/23/21
    - Residue left over from the George Floyd trial.NT ELP 3:37pm · 12/23/21
