Not a police issue, but seems pretty dumb for taxpayers to pay for both parties of this appeal and pay for the guy’s stay (and at least 3 others, I’m told), when the legislature repealed the statute he was convicted under.

So in Tennessee, by law, if you get commit a crime and the legislature reduces the sentence for that crime before you are sentenced then you get the lesser sentence, but if they make it not a crime at all you get the full sentence.

This isn't a race or gender issue. It is a cop issue. These cops feel empowered to do these things because they know that system will protect them.

I hate this video. This woman is obviously mentally ill/drugged and the cops keep trying to reason with her like she's a rational human being. We have got to do something different to deal with the mentally ill and drug addicts other than put them back on the streets.

Just curious, what was she being charged with? Was she a killer or rapist or something?

A N T I S T A T E on Instagram: "[08DEC2017] Cop Found Not Guilty for Murdering Daniel Shaver as Innocent Unarmed Dad Begs for His Life Phoenix, AZ -- In March of 2016, Mesa Police Officer Philip Brailsford was charged with second-degree murder for gunning down Daniel Shaver, an innocent husband, and father of two. The shooting was captured on body cam footage, part of which was released the following May. On Thursday, a jury, apparently blinded by the badge delivered a verdict of not guilty and the rest of the body camera footage was released—showing a cold-blooded murder. In October, Brailsford's defense claimed that the prosecution showing the jury the body cam during opening statements would be unfair to the killer cop. Apparently, this strategy worked. Jurors deliberated less than six hours and despite the horrifying body camera showing Brailsford execute Shaver, they somehow returned a not guilty verdict. This is a travesty of justice and a testament to the system that protects killers who wear badges. Last year, an Arizona judge announced that they would be releasing the body camera footage showing Brailsford murder Shaver. When they did release it, however, the city released two videos, both of which were clearly edited and portions redacted. [Continued - pinned comment] #ANTISTATE"

Wait till Chicago gets Illinois’ new soft on crime law in affect. No arrests for any misdemeanors and 99% of felonies or bonded holds allowed for anything other than first degree murder, hate crime, and terrorism.

Hate crimes aren't terrorism yet?

Pennsylvania Murder Suspect in drunken crash that killed 2 state troopers, man on I-95 Released on Bail

The woman facing homicide charges for the drunk driving crash that killed two Pennsylvania state troopers and a man on I-95 earlier this year was released on bond as of Thursday.

Jayana T. Webb, 22, is accused of striking and killing Pennsylvania State Troopers Martin F. Mack III, 33, and Branden T. Sisca, 29, as well as 28-year-old Reyes Rivera Oliveras on I-95 near the Broad Street exit on March 21.

In June, the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office refiled previously dismissed third-degree murder charges against Webb. Her bond was set at $200,000 per person killed in the wreck.

My question is why the initial charges were dropped?
