Two California police officers who were videotaped in a violent struggle with a homeless man during an arrest were acquitted Monday of killing him. It was a rare case in which police officers were charged in a death involving actions on duty. One of the officers acquitted had been charged with murder. Jurors took less than two days to reach their verdicts. ormer Cpl. Jay Cicinelli was acquitted of involuntary manslaughter and excessive use of force. Spectators let out a gasp as the verdict was read.

I wish I could say I was surprised.
The just-us system prevails again.
Indeed.
And that legal precedent will be set in other states around the nation if this is not stopped NOW.
If I were one of these officers, I’d be on the lookout for vigilante justice appearing during some routine traffic stop.
I wonder if they might do so because by acquitting these psychopaths, they've avoided being harmed by fellow psychopathic police who threatened them "acquit or else watch your back every minute of the day and don't expect your loved ones to be safe, either."
It was so clearly a case of psychopathic behavior on the part of the cops. They stood around and joked about how the poor bastard had "shit himself" after they were done -- that's the reports from people who have the stomach to watch the video; I do not. Human males (these were not men by any definition) who are so lacking in humanity and compassion, are psychopaths and deserve to be locked up PRONTO.
I drove past the place where this (admittedly messed up, crazy occasionally violent, but well known and mostly harmless) 135-lb homeless guy was murdered, right near the train station in Fullerton. There were only about a dozen protesters, but I honked and gave them a thumbs-up. They appreciated it.
Apparently, a career in many American police departments is perfect for psychopaths in America. God help us if Obama starts identifying and recruiting them for his Brownshirt brigades.
Thank you for writing and posting it, and I pray that it is read well beyond FR, serving to inform, inspire, and unite Americans as they seek the path for restoring American freedom and righteousness.
Just an excellent, excellent post. Worth every single word.
Thank you. I now have some understanding of what is happening to law enforcement in our country.
Basically, liberals are all for police brutality, just as they're all for Federal goons spying on American citizens. The only exception they make is when the victims of law enforcement abuse and brutality happen to be non-white. Then the same liberals become loud spokesmen for "civil liberties."
