It's an important distinction. "Guilt" requires establishment of certain levels of "proof;" the burden of establishing that proof falls on the prosecution. Failure to do that means a verdict of "Not guilty."
Gots t’be dem wypipo!
We're a nation of laws. Someone runs from the police, they risk getting shot and killed. Maybe the police shouldn't have engaged in that pursuit, but I understand why they made the spur-of-the-moment decision to pursue him.
Nobody's safe if those trying to escape when ordered to stop aren't held accountable.
The f*cking bastards never say: “Black cop kills White motorist” so $hit on them. The choice of words is deliberate, and is designed to tap into the meme that they have already created that “White cops kill innocent Blacks”.
Bull$hit.
Look we all know this man was an ED-209 I never denied that.
They could have caught up with him later.
They could have put him down like the ED-209 he is... later.
In a more discrete way without potential injury to innocent citizens.
” Lamar should have been shot as soon as he rammed his car into the police car and fled the scene.
Drug dealers lives don’t matter. “
AMEN AMEN AND AMEN!!
The cops should have never let it get that far!
Don’t hold back. Let us know how you really feel.
Kinda funny. OJ was acquitted. White cop ‘got off’
I am waiting for the article on how the black leadership at the NAACP and other groups is trying to stop black on black, black on everyone else slaughter across the country. The few blacks killed by white cops yearly seem to count a lot more than almost equal numbers of blacks killed by blacks every weekend.
The blm crowd is accusing him of planting the gun, something the prosecution did not accuse him of.
Not impossible but highly doubtful, surrounded by half a dozen other officers, one of them black.
Didn't even need a gun to make this legit. He did try to run Stockley over at the initial stop.
I say they had a trial the Judge heard and saw the evidence and testimony and made a ruling. Think that is how it is supposed to be done in America. You may agree with the ruling you may not. Doesn’t matter either way!
Black motorist? Really Tommy?
Respect the verdict.
And, the cops bring this on themselves. Whyn was this fool carrying an unauthorized AK-47 while on duty? Why was he milling about and getting into his cruiser and the perr/vics car?
Play it straight, guys in blue.
Even though Stockley was carrying an unauthorized AK-47 with him.
I’ll go with the verdict. We lost nothing when the drug dealer was snuffed.
But, Stockley is a piece of crap.
“I am waiting for the article on how the black leadership at the NAACP and other groups is trying to stop black on black, black on everyone else slaughter across the country.

We will be waiting from here to infinity.
The BLM/ SJW activists only threatened and then protested after the acquittal. By waiting for the judgement they thereby acknowledged the legitimacy of the legal process. Following their own logic post-acquittal, they should have been in the streets before, during and after the trial.
Regardless of their inherent illogic, what these seditious, American-hating groups are doing is attacking the legitimacy of the laws of the United States. I for one, won’t stand for that...

I remember from growing up in Baltimore of all places. A cop once told me “don’t be messin’ with the pole-ese.” I always remembered that. You mess with the police you are taking your life in your own hands.
