They charged him with murder? Seriously? You have DAs giving gangbangers manslaughter due to mutual combat, but this guy gets murder charges?

The sergeant gave chase in his car and fired multiple rounds at the teens.

That's why. He pursued them down the street and fired at them as they were driving away.

By the letter of the law alone, with no favor granted towards him, it's considered murder in all 50 states. When you start adding political, racial, or sexual bias against him, it gets worse. Best he could have ever gotten was manslaughter, and considering he was intentionally shooting at them to drive them off, there's no way that would have worked.

NEVER pursue a fleeing suspect. NEVER fire at a fleeing suspect that is not actively and immediately threatening someone else's life with a lethal weapon.

And look, I believe that lethal force should be allowed for certain property crimes, but no state agrees with me, and there's no way to make this a good shoot.

Yeah. You're right. But you should be wrong. We need to un faggot our laws. The idea that someone can wrong you and then call time out just by running away is bullshit. It's like the kid who would call time out as soon as they were about to get tagged playing "it".

In fairness, such a law does not exist in the west, nor has it ever. You can not use lethal force against ordinary force.

It's fine to chase after than hold them for police in a citizen's arrest, and only use proportional physical force to restrain them. That is only not advisable because it is tactically unsound, you are likely to make a mistake, you will not have qualified immunity, and the jury will not assume that you are a good person trying to right a wrong.

In previous centuries, running away after wronging someone still involved the judge/magistrate ordering them to be found, and applying the justice system to them through court, and having their family and church not try to cover for them. The system works fine, but you have too low trust of a society.

Bullshit. We used to hang people for stealing horses.

You can't shoot someone for stealing a horse. Hangings are a form of capital punishment after a trial. That's like saying poisoning is legal because we kill people with lethal injection.

The system is only as good as its people. And we have dumb, immoral people everywhere. Our highest institutions of learning were starts as Christian schools. They knew that without God, intelligence was hard to achieve, and that even if you managed intelligence without God you were bound to use said intelligence in unproductive ways.

This is a state offense so Trump can’t pardon. We are organizing our country around feral animals. Something has gotta give.

This is insane. There are thousands of rapists, pedophiles, and murderers of all kinds who never got anything close to half a century in prison. Our justice system actively favors dangerous criminals and takes advantage of any opportunity to ruin the lives of normal people who are just tired of living in a lawless hellhole.

Two girls carjacked an Uber driver in DC and killed him. They got 7 years in juvenile detention. In this country you’ll be punished more severely for killing someone who’s trying to steal your car than for killing someone while trying to steal their car.

Just send the feds into the prison and rescue him, then throw the judge, DA and jury into the open prison slot.

That sentence is, on its face, clearly malicious. The legal system is broken in every country on Earth.

Jury of your peers doesn’t work in multicultural/multiracial societies.

The problem is only certain groups define their peers as "peers", while others describe their peers as enemies to be ruined, or allies to bolster regardless of circumstance.

Jiggas are allowed to shoot white people, white people are NOT allowed to shoot jiggas.

“An adult chose to use deadly force against two unarmed teenagers. That is not justice, that is not safety, that is not accountability. I survived, but I am not the same. My friend didn’t survive at all. And no matter what we did that night, I didn’t deserve to be shot, and Xavier didn’t deserve to die,” the boy wrote.

This is some fucking Leafy defense right there. How can any sane person read that and not be pissed off at the stupid kid?

This is the same city that had that apartment complex taken over by illegal immigrant gangs.

Following Trump's inauguration, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted raids targeting suspected Tren de Aragua gang members in Aurora and Denver.[39][40] In an address to Congress on March 4, 2025, Trump claimed that immigrants “destroyed” Aurora and that the city has “buckled under the weight of migrant occupation.”[41][42][43] Coffman expressed disappointment and characterized the remarks as "undeserved".[44][45] The apartment complex at the root of the controversy was eventually shut down by court order.[46]
