Shot to death for a noise complaint, and the family was given 4 cents in reparation.

I try to tell myself that America isn't racist, but how do you defend shit like this?

[url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44328047]Here's BBC's writeup.[/url] The main takeaway is that the jury found no excessive use of force. If it's a justified police shooting then.... why would the police owe money? Granted the 4-cent valuation is fucking insulting and that's wildly inappropriate behavior for a judge, it's just.... I mean, I have no background on this case other than what I've read today, but it sure seems like due process was followed here.

Maybe the jury heard some evidence I didn't get. Four gunshots at a closing door looks nakedly excessive, there.... something else, too, maybe? What, uh.... hmmmmm.... Let's see if I can dig up anything else that's not reacting to the 4-cent thing.

Look family, I'm sorry and all, and that four-cent bullshit is still wrong but uh.... play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Don't point guns at cops.
