One comment began with, “I’m white,” etc. So what? This is an outrage if you’re green!! I don’t think anyone was surprised by this verdict. I certainly wasn’t. What this does is give absolute permission to ALL law enforcement to do as they please and they will be protected by ‘our’ judicial system, or, a better word might be encouraged by our judicial system to keep murdering innocent citizens. For example: I just read an article about a cop that shot a 62-year-old woman, living in an assisted living facility, because he “feared for his life???” Law enforcement doesn’t think they have ‘options,’ just start shooting!!

I’m a human being, not particularly from any country. This is outrageous. For the cops who got acquitted, walk for the time being until someone takes justice in their hands. In my country, we once had a setup of two young boys who got killed. The cop who set them up got killed few months later. The other cops went to jail and they also got killed. Good cops distinguish themselves and rotten trigger-happy gets their due in due course of time. Goodbye to you rotten ones.

On the surface it seems unjust, but I will be rational and admit that I wasn’t in the courtroom and don’t know all the facts. This question seems designed to ignite the emotions of the readers who have little knowledge about the case, so that media people can sit back and feast on the chaos it creates.

With all those saying these officers were guilty of criminal behavior, you do not have a clue. Get off of my space or call of duty and try to be a cop in a major city.
Sounds like sour grapes from a bunch of left wing candy asses.

That just doesn’t make any sense. 50 shoots at on a unarmed person, I call this an execution without due process. What happened to shooting the guy in the leg, Those cops involved can’t look in themsleves in the mirror and say “they were afraid for their lives”. BS

Those of you who are saying this isn’t about race are fooling themselves. If the victim was a white man the police would have either not fired or would have been convicted. Makes no difference about the race of the shooters, it is the race of the victim that is the root of the problem here.

I THINK THIS WAS A TERRIBLE ACCCIDENT AND THE VERDICT IS FAIR. WHAT ABOUT POLICE OFFICERS THAT HAVE BEEN KILLED BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T USE FORCE EVEN WERE THEIR LIFES WAS IN DANGER? RIGHT.

WHAT IS THIS MAN DOING TRYING TO DRIVE DRUNK ANYWAY? ALSO, WHY WILL YOU DRIVE ON YOUR BACHELORETTE PARTY? INDEED, AFTER BARTENDING FOR 3 YEARS, I KNOW HOW STUPID GUYS GET WHEN THEY DRINK AND THIS WAS JUST A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT, WERE A COUPLE OF DRUNK BUDDIES WERE JUST ACTING STUPID. GOODLUCK TO THE GIRLFRIEND.

Justice Cooperman’s decision defies common sense.
