convicted.

I have faith in South Carolina. I think the people there have a strong sense of right and wrong and they will do the right thing here.

This will make the 2nd police officer immediately fired and put on trial for shooting an unarmed person in South Carolina, you'll never see that in LA or NYC sad to say.

The first was Sean Groubert
