And the Deep South supposedly has an incorrigible intolerance toward trans-racial community .

From: http://uptownmagazine.com/2014/12/sc-cop-richard-combs-shot-unarmed-black-man-bernard-bailey-charged-murder/

We’d thought this day would never come. A white South Carolina cop was charged with murder for the fatal shooting of an unarmed Black man in 2011. The Orangeburg County grand jury decision to indict Richard Combs on Wednesday was the same day a Staten Island grand jury declined to indict NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo for choking unarmed Eric Garner to death in July 2014.

Combs, former chief and sole officer in the small town of Eutawville, shot Bernard Bailey, 54, twice in the chest after a scuffle occurred when Bailey visited the Town Hall to argue about his daughter’s broken tail light ticket. According to prosecutors, Combs, 38, attempted to arrest Bailey on obstruction of justice charges. Bailey walked back to his car, where Combs followed. The pair quickly fought before Combs drew his gun, shooting Bailey, a 6-foot-6 former prison guard, twice in his pickup truck.

Yes, that is very simple. Really I get it, that it's not an issue for me as long as I don't break the law or resist arrest. And I won't do the former. If I do, I won't do the latter.

But that has absolutely nothing to do with whether it's okay for a cop to kill someone who breaks the law or resists arrest.

Are you always so glib and stupid ? Or is that just a character you play on Patrick.net ?

Overused trigger fingers account for the majority of cop disability claims and early pensions.

Interesting, and if true the NYPD has some serious explaining and reforming to do. Doesn't change the fact that they didn't kill Garner. He died of a heart attack. Charge them with the crimes they actually committed against the man!

Right. He mysteriously died of a heart attach at the exact moment that they were choking him to death

And zero chance they have any explaining to do. this is one of the perks of the job. And with people like you that blindly believe their lies, It will continue. Probably get more frequent as more of their crimes get exposed and they see that they're never held accountable

The lone eyewitness that actually saw what happened, insisted wilson was the aggressor
