(18,186 posts)yet he purposefully minimizes the number of shell casings to protect the officer, and further prejudices the case by repeating the officer's testimony. I smell COVERUP and LIES.
The testimony of the murderer, as in all cases of murderous, thug cops, will be treated as solid gold fact, irrefutable and trustworthy, even though the cop MURDERED in cold blood. There was no reason to shoot an unarmed person so many times. Yet a person with this level of poor impulse control will be the star witness and the case will hinge on that cop's word.
Yet the eyewitness testimony of dozens will be ignored, marginalized and dismissed.
They say St. Louis County has cellphone videos. I hope those people uploaded those videos because I don't trust St. Louis County thugs at ALL.
I also hope someone with video will come forward and let us see what's on film.
Even if this kid did struggle with the cop, the law does not list the death penalty as the punishment.
