While I thought the case should have gone to trial originally, doesn't this seem like since the DOJ isn't getting the outcome they wanted, so they replace the investigators and prosecutors?

Looks like this country is finally moving towards serving justice instead of focusing on enforcing laws... whether the laws are unjust or not. Eric Garner died because the NYPD was enforcing an unjust law.

Did you guys see the response time of the OSU officer? What a hero!

Good response on his part and decisive actions. But he was already in the area so I really wouldn't go overboard on the response time.

However, he likely saved lives and additional people being injured by thinking on his feet.

Roll with it GV. Surely you recognize the dual intent of this post.

What's really interesting?

But FOP's Executive Director James Pasco was quoted by the Washington Times as saying, "We do not support the withholding of public safety funds as a hammer," adding, "You can't hold people's safety over their heads to get them to come to your point of view."

I wonder if they'd like to talk to the families of the people represented on this page about "safety."

Interesting. I'm not sure why the hung jury and/or how "someone's mind will not be changed" in light of the evidence against the former officer.

Michael Slager jury yet to reach verdict, to return Monday - CNN.com

Judge Clifton Newman has sent the jury back to the deliberation room for a second time, after the foreperson said the 12 members of the jury could benefit from another explanation of the law in the murder trial of Michael Slager, the former North Charleston police officer. The defense has moved for a mistrial based on a hung jury. Earlier, one juror wrote to the judge that he cannot convict Slager in the death of Walter Scott and his mind cannot be changed.

The judge in the trial of former South Carolina police Officer Michael Slager told jurors to keep deliberating Friday afternoon after they told him they don't believe they can reach a consensus.

Slager is charged with murder in the April 2015 shooting death of Walter Scott, an unarmed black man, after a traffic stop in North Charleston.

It seemed like an open and shut case to me.

And you wonder why some people in this country still think there is no justice in our justice system...

However, a hung jury isn't the fault of the system as much as it is the citizens that actually have no grip on reality and actually think police should be given the benefit of doubt all the time.

A man was shot in the back and died because he had a busted tail light and was behind on child support. And his killer, because he wears a badge, will be taken off the hook. Where is the justice in that?

I agree that the cop needs to be found guilty but he didn't get shot until after kicking the cops ass....it wasn't just bc of a busted taillight and child support.

He isn't going to get off the hook. He is going to go do for something it just depends on if it is local or the Feds hang him on civil rights violations.
