10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
I'm glad that the paramedics were both found guilty, and that one of the 3 piece of shit cops were found guilty. But it's infuriating that the other two cops, Jason Rosenblatt and Nathan Woodyard, were acquitted. All 5 of them should be serving murder sentences in a federal prison.
The part about the cops is so fucked up, one of them was actually reinstated and given 400k back pay then quit 2 months later.
I just wish that one of those chucklefucks on the police board would stop for just 5 seconds and think: "What are we incentivizing, here?"
Shows that he was in it to win rather than to do good.
"My son's murder is not a terrible tragedy regardless of how many times you reiterate those words in order to feel better," she said. "My son's murder was 100% avoidable."
God damn she worded that well. I'm glad she called out their bullshit pity party.
100 people talking about how great he is, yet he actually murdered someone without a second thought.
