how was this even a possible result? he was convicted of killing a person. it was not in self-defense, or in the line of duty. how is it legal for the court itself to negate the guilty verdict returned by the jury after it was reached?

i can keep on saying it til i’m blue in the face. training will not stop cops from just killing whoever they feel like killing. police will not stop shooting dead unarmed civilians while on camera until they face the same justice as the rest of us.

this is a conviction in name only. he’s going to walk right on out of the courthouse and go straight home. akai gurley remains dead, for no reason.

  i’m not at all surprised at a cop getting off scot-free in killing a black man, but the absolute brazenness of going to court, getting a jury, having that jury return a guilty verdict on the charge of manslaughter, and the prosecutor and judge just saying, ‘nah,’ feels like a new low. prosecutors are always free to decline to prosecute - that wouldn’t have been news - but i don’t understand how the law allows the court to overrule the jury’s verdict, after it’s rendered, without even declaring a mistrial.

That kid that busted up the cop car during the protest got 7 years didn’t he? This guy kills a person and then stands over them as they die, without even trying to help, instead calling to see if he’s going to be protected. And he gets five years probation.

  He got six months in jail and a few years probation. Not as bad as seven years, but still, holy shit.

  Thanks for the correction. Was going off a tweet I remember seeing. Crazy that he still gets more time that this cop.

Cop murders POC, only gets convicted at all because the cop’s a POC, too.

Probation and community service. For killing a man. Negligently killing a man. A black man. Tell me again how ALL lives matter.

  Border patrol officers get away with killing mexicab kids...in mexican soil. Oh but God forbids the mexican police traps an ex marine smuggling guns to México, he suddenly becomes a martyr or some crap like that.

Will he still own a firearm and cowardly peer into stairwells or does his probation prevent this. I'm sure there will be a rent-a-cop job on the other side to cradle his close call with civilian life.

  My first thought as well: “how long until he gets to play cop again?”

  I'd be willing to bet that his sentencing doesn't prevent him from being a guest lecturer or consultant.

What if people don’t want him in their community doing ‘service’ because HE IS A GODDAMNED MURDERER.

ACAB.

“Liang is the first New York City cop in ten years to be convicted in a fatal shooting incident.” I had no idea.

Seriously, I’m on the verge of running out of outrage over LEOs getting either slapped on the wrist or completely exonerated for questionable shootings. And if you think the NYPD record for conviction is shaky, how about the FBI? In 150 shootings, ALL were deemed proper:

  After the US heaved its collective sigh at 20 dead children, decided a little lead poisoning is alright, and decided people who aren’t white are chattel I decided to embrace apathy.
  
  My mind can't handle societal indifference of this magnitude.
