For it to be murder he has to have an intent to want to kill somebody. He was found not guilty of that by a jury of his peers. Therefore, he's no more of a murderer than OJ was AFTER the ruling in his trial.

People tend to forget that victims don't get justice. Justice is only afforded to the living. The cop was entitled to a fair and speedy trial because he's still alive. The trial was for HIM, not the victim! Court is also not a perfect place. There's always a 50/50 chance of winning or losing in any case.

But I find these racist comments to be offending. Seems people have a problem when a man is awarded a jury of his own peers. What are we supposed to do? Set him up in front of a jury of non-peers? How would that be fair for him? Everybody who went to court would lose if that was the case. You can't call the 12 jurors racists and not expect to be called a racist yourself. For one thing, you don't know any of the jurors and what they were thinking when they decided on this man's fate. To call them a racist is to call them a racist for simply being white since you know nothing else about them. That's just ignorant!

If the jury was all black and they gave the white cop a harsher sentence then that would be just as racist. It would have been an unfair trial setup just to screw him over and NO, that's NOT justice!

Plus, the white cop was found guilty of something in this trial. It's not like they just let him walk! He's going to do some jail time and he'll never be a cop again. His life is pretty much ruined because of his conviction. He'll have to live with that the rest of his life. Sucks to be him!
