The officer has already turned himself in and is at the courthouse. Good.
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Deters said "I didn't say he was smart; I'm just telling you what he did."
Probably the truest statement I've read in ages.

I just can't with the twitter. The misinformation and stupidity of people.
City police do not (yet) wear body cameras. I am certain that without the video this officer would not have been charged. It comes down to "I feared for my life" without the video, and that historically results in no charges.

Yes. Plus the officer lied about being dragged AND another officer backed up that statement.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
AND another officer backed up that statement.
ooooh, perjury charges. Please please perjury charges. If he didn't lie on the stand, at least arrest him for impeding an investigation or something. That Thin Blue Line is supposed to be between the law-abiding citizenry and dangerous criminals, not between citizens and other police. Time to redraw that line.

What I don't understand is when police became so paranoid. They didn't used to be, I swear. Would this person have been dragging him if he had just stepped away from the car? If someone gets dragged because they persist in doing something stupid to arrest someone so dangerous he doesn't have a front license plate, I say his injuries are on him.

He told the driver to take his seatbelt off and then literally shot him in the head 2 seconds later.
Jesus.
Another officer backed him up? I hope he gets charged, too. That's unconscionable.

I can't help but think that the police wants there to be a riot, and is helping to incite one.
Yeah, I think that's pretty much what happened here in Bmore.
think he's spinning the indictment hard to place all blame on this one rogue cop to prevent rioting. Which I think is actually the truth, in this case, but I have no faith in the fundamental honesty of Deters. What's expedient just happened to be true, this time.
Yeah, that is the easy way out of actually looking at the way police are hired and trained and supervised. ugh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Seriously.
I mean how hard to throw away the sandwich AT CAMP?!?! dumbass.
not that he should be throwing away food.
What I'm saying.

That does appear to be the pattern with these things. Good on the prosecutor though.
