justifies in THEIR minds (NOTE: SOME >police fall in this category, I am NOT
indicting all of them) the excessive force and lethality they use. >Thus if
someone reaches for something (Diallo) it is ASSUMED it is a gun, BUT even
worse it is assumed that >they have the right to KILL in a ridiculous hail

What wasn't mentioned in the article was the orchestrated effort the cops
made to intimidate both the prosecutor and the judge in this case -- cops
from around the state (and some from other states) held periodic
demonstrations outside the courthouse, shouting not only their support of
the cop being prosecuted,
but carrying signs and shouting phrases addressed to the judge and
prosecutor that basically amounted to a "we know who you are, and where you
live" threat....
Also, this is a rarity here (court deciding against a cop). There have been
a handful of such killings by cops in this state in the past couple of
years, and all the rest were deemed by the courts as 'justified', even when
the victim was shot in the back. One such case involved a 12 year old boy
whom the cops shot in the back and killed. The courts deemed it
'justified'.
