http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-chicago-police-detective-manslaughter-trial-0421-met-20150420-story.html#page=1

So an off duty cop fires a gun over his shoulder into a group of black guys. He's charged with involuntary manslaughter instead of murder.
Judge rules it's not involuntary manslaughter, but murder, and case is dismissed.
Cop can't be charged again b/c of Double Jeopardy lol

Only in America!

He'll go to jail for wrongful death.

Prosecutors should've charged for murder. Not sure what they were thinking.

How do you figure?

He was already charged for a crime.

You cant be charged again for the same incident after it goes to trial.

they can sue him for wrongful death... he can't go to jail for it.

He can't be charged for a criminal offense.

He can be charged for a civil offense by the family. Same thing happened to OJ.

I misspoke when I said jail. Family should easily get millions out of Jim and effectively ruin his life.

It's entirely on the prosecutor. They had an open/shut case for murder.

oh exactly.

But you or I don't get an involuntary manslaughter charge on that. It doesn't even fit. He got that charge b/c he's a cop.

They were thinking "I am a prosecutor and I have an inherent conflict of interest when bringing charges against the cops because my career depends on their cooperation and trust."

JMHO but states need to consider bringing back private prosecution associations of the old common law when it comes to prosecuting alleged criminal conduct on the part of government officials, etc. (or something along those lines). I have friends who are cops and friends who are prosecutors but the fact is they have inherent conflicts of interest (IMHO).

You are great to point out the obvious of today embellished plight of Blacks but you never look at the bigger picture of the real turmoil of today Black community problems. Blame the white people, blame the cops, blame the system, blame the guns, blame, blame and more blame. Until the Black community “checks themselves” the real blame is within the Blacks, reality check bro…

Race bait is the social distraction from the real issue (Black on Black crime and destruction of Black family unity) that the Black community, media and Leadership does what to address because it’s the truth and you take the bait hook, line and sinker.

The system is not perfect because the Liberals Democrats want complexity not simplicity. Better to twist the truth than to solve the problem but when it works in reversal against that ideology it’s a bad system…

Always black who must personally accountable be; not individual who does not have personal responsibility because Obama" :RpS_lol:

SJWs complain about problems providing no reasonable solutions. That means they are the trash of the Earth and deserve nothing.

There aren't many reasonable solutions when it involves getting the Branches of government to change, you know, the Constitution.

Then if there is no reasonable solution, why even bother complaining? The reality is there are bad people out there and people out there that make poor decisions. The media is just selling newspapers and doesn't give a fuck about actual journalism and unbiased fact reporting. Glad you are hoodwinked into their agenda; really shows the kind of person you are and the level of intellectual respect you command.

Nice try. The reality is, bad things happen. I learned that when I was 5.

We've reached a point in society where facts no longer matter, its how can we twist things to derive an emotional response and then take a pseudo-moral high ground for the feelz. The direction that this country is going to absolutely disgusting and since the number of trash outnumbers the intelligent it will continue to go down the crapper.

No we've reached a point in society where poor people and minorities finally have a voice to the masses thru social media and other outlets. Before we could shut them up pretty easily; keep them out of sight/out of mind. People are taking notice now. It kills a lot of people that they have to listen to poor people now. You seem to be one of them.
