Should have been an LWOP, if that was a potential punishment.
My cynical side says ONLY because a video of it went public.
Needs the part in red. :2razz:I figured he would. You can’t shoot someone who is running away from you, be caught on video, and be innocent.

You can if you're a cop. There was video of it this time and that's why he didn't get away with it.
That was easy...Can you show me the case where the forensics proved the victim was shot in the back and the cop got away with it?

Thousands dead, few prosecuted
Fatal shootings by on-duty police officers: An analysis | The Washington Post
No, I'm not looking for an article complaining about every police officer who shot people and wasn't convicted.
I want to know a specific case or cases where forensics proved that the victim was shot in the back and the officer was acquitted.
Read the article, then.
With some people here I would expect a defensive reflexive denial, but I thought you were a more reasonable person.
I'm a very reasonable person. Do you have a specific case for me to look at?
Read the article. They're glaringly obvious.
So you don't have a specific case for me? You just assume all police officers who weren't convicted should've been no matter what the forensics and other evidence showed? Defensive reflexive denial, indeed.
They also include a police officer in Darlington County, S.C., who was charged with murder after he chased an unarmed man wanted for stealing a gas grill and three U-Haul trailers into the woods, shooting him in the back four times. A jury, believing that he feared for his life, found him not guilty.
From the article.
Maybe when someone says the answer you seek is in the article, just read the ****ing article. Or just be lazy and and slink off, but don't be lazy and claim some sort of victory of it. That's low class.
I wasn't asking for an entire article about all police officers who were acquitted. I was asking for a specific case. I don't see the name of the police officer or person killed so I can look up the case. Do you have those details?
Darlington County sheriff's investigator Tim Robertson, 41, was charged with voluntary manslaughter in the death of William E. Sheffield, 45, on Dec. 29. 2005
Although, I feel he satisfied the criteria of information with that article considering the nature of the challenge you presented. This is just splitting hairs so you can say "If you can't show me this, then you have nothing."
Well there you go, took three seconds to google. Waste others people time with laziness next time.
It's about time!
IMO - due to the nature of the job, we've got give our LEO's the very best benefit of doubt. But when there's proof beyond doubt, throw the book at 'em! They've betrayed the public trust, which is a bigger deal than only their personal actions in relation to them.
