Now...my money is 100% on Letitia James in 2017.

including reelection
he can go to hell

>Now...my money is 100% on Letitia James in 2017.

Dude rode on a wave of cop reform that he's pissing all away...unless he thinks the public is so slow they will remember the prosecution but the..you can't even call it a slap on a wrist.

.

DeBlasio had before he became mayor, right?

he's doing a poor job. it's going to be hard for her to flip PA into mayor

but she's doing a better job as PA than he did so there's hope

but somethings just off

maybe the press just hates him and clouds the perception?

punk DA didnt want to give any time

And want to put cops under the jail.

It won't solve everything but a local prosecutor who has a close relationship with the local police simply can't effectively prosecute these crimes. We've seen it over and over and we have to do something about it.

There IS a presidential candidate who supports US Attorney prosecutions of police violence....just saying. Not that he can necessarily get it done but still.

I don't agree with the decision, but Thompson played it smart when he let it be known publicly that he didn't want Liang to do any jail time. Helped to soften the blow dealt by the judge's ruling.

it looks bad on him

if the judge ignored him had he pushed for hard time, he still would have looked good - people would appreciate that he pursued justice to the very end. anyone who would have been upset at him being that hard wouldn't hold a grudge for too long b/c in the end they got what they wanted


he could have pushed for SOME jail time and looked better

And some jury members have said their tI'm was wasted to find him guilty but not pit him in jail.

He needed to do time to at least send a message that this can't stand anymore.

I think it's some bullshit.

On one hand, I'm glad he at least received a guilty verdict; however, that sentence is trash.

I'm also honestly disappointed in all of the Asians who participated in the whole Justice For Peter Liang campaign.

in NYC talk about racism

OH NOW there's racism!

(towards Liang obviously and the context 'Why is he the only one NOT getting off????' is just so wrong-headed)

is like whoa, seriously?

>(towards Liang obviously and the context 'Why is he the only one NOT getting off????' is just so wrong-headed)

infuriating

Why did he have to be black? Dammit.


Brooklyn DA Kenneth Thompson shocked court observers and didn’t show up for the sentencing.

He had called for Liang to receive five years’ probation, six months of home confinement and 500 hours of community service — and taken plenty of heat from Gurley’s family and community activists for the move.

How the fuck you kill someone and get home confinement?

and didn't call for an ambulance.



www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

He was poorly trained and put in a situation he probably shouldn't have been in.

I mean he got startled, fired his gun into a wall, and the ricochet killed Gurley.
Out of all the incidents out there, this is the one that leads to a criminal conviction?

I'm actually okay with probation here.

This was the killing that really looked like an accident. Dude is still negligent because he didn't apply aid or call for the ambulance right away so I wouldn't feel sorrow if he went away, but this wasn't Eric Garner. That said, someone lost their life. How do you rectify that?

Exactly.

none of which the police are capable of.

The whole incident is the reason that cops need to be in the academy at least a year or more...

I will never understand why its common practice to take a new fresh inexperienced cop and stick them in the worst neighborhood you can find...

like.. you think that shit really makes em better?

I agree with your sentiments.

You ok with the part where he argued with his partner about who should call the shooting in ?

He messed up and made bad decisions afterwards that could be related to his poor training

You don't have to train common sense. The neighbor who not a cop tried to save the man without experience or training.

He wouldn't need experience for that.

done time.

All the bad shit starts from there. His failure to give first aid or to appear to give a shit about Akai Gurley after the bullet hit him isn't even the worst part, in my eyes.

fuck him...

The cop deserved some prison time behind that.

This dude has 5 years to be on the up and up. If he can do that, punishment served.

He was terrible at his job and that led to someone getting killed. I believe it was completely unintentional and, as such, we shouldn't be trying to throw the book at him.

Thanks for being a consistent voice of reason here.

a voice of reason when he keeps avoiding discussing the cops actions after he fired his gun ?

Failure to perform CPR and call the incident in promptly doesn't warrant a lengthy prison sentence in my opinion

because of poor training.

5 years ain't lengthy. I think 3-5 woulda been aight wit me.

5 years will have me googling for extradition agreements

>I addressed it. He made mistakes and was terrible at his job
>Failure to perform CPR and call the incident in promptly
>doesn't warrant a lengthy prison sentence in my opinion
Failure to perform CPR and call in the incident is the icing of a shit flavored cake

Dude should have never had his gun out the holster. He KILLED someone, even if it's accidental. And probation is OK?

Wow

this guy will have no problem completing probation.

i think his crime deserves a prison sentence.

n/m

any field where staff is poorly trained that results in poor service let alone negligence, i'm taking my business elsewhere....unless the jerk chicken is thaaaaat good.

but if it goes to the degree of negligence..foh.

don't shut the place down

poor training isn't an excuse for negligence. Just because local authorities don't shut it down is irrelevant. Local authorities do a lot of kcufed up things.

If you were aware that poor training was the reason for a product to perform negligently you would find that unacceptable and stop using the product.

No words....

to be honest. and this cat may as well be White because to get house arrest for that is as close to being White as he could ever imagine

free tickets to Sturgess and plenty of offers to speak at numerous rallies that champion taking the country back.

In all fairness black cops don't appear to go to jail either; at least not for killing other black people.
