Friends
We as society decided to police ourselves, we pick the best from amongst us and train them to patrol our streets as we sleep. They deter the drunkards off streets, deranged from our homes, and drug addicts from our residences, it is quite a tough job. Thus we pay them well, and we equip them well, but we are very careful on how we charge them if they break the law in the process of protecting us. In the summer of 2013 a man caused a brawl in a Toronto street car, police was called in and a Constable pumped about 9 bullets in him. Those bullets were fired in three intervals of three and three then three. Because only Toronto Police supervisors have Tasers, the supervisor arrived when the man is already dead, he rushed into the street car and tasered the already dead man, so that the medical examiner finds it. We think the plan was to claim that the man fought with police, they tasered him he kept on coming then they had to shoot him. What the officer and the supervisor did not know was that the particular street car had a camera and recorded everything. I bring this issue to illustrate how tough it is to convict police officers. We love and defend our police officers and they are among the best paid in the Western hemisphere, but we thumb them as soon as we see a bad Apple. You have no clue how fast. This was a bad cop and a bad supervisor, so he was arrested and charged. Because Const. James Forcillo was a Police Officer we did not charge him for the first three bullets he fired, we considered that a shooting done in the process of doing his job, no matter how he made that decision. The second phase that he fired when the kid is already down is what we charged him with a second degree murder charge, but we accompanied it with an attempted murder charge to the third phase of bullets. When the judicial wheel stopped rolling he was found not guilty of second degree but he was found guilty of attempted murder. James was sentenced to six years, five months and 29 days after his appeal was rejected. This past January he was granted a full parole with instructions to never contact the family of the man and to never own a gun in his entire life. The officer that allegedly murdered George Floyd has ben charged with murder in the second degree, and many out there are exited for it is the best they can get out of this anger. They wish he was charged with murder in the first degree. Edward Pojim requested for a firing squad. Then I go back and realize that United States laws in this kind of cases are actually written by the states than the Federal Government. The state of Minnesota has been ran by Democrats for about 50 years, during that time they have become the Dr Kiiza Besigye that wrote the laws to decapitate UPC the very laws decapitating him today. In Minnesota to charge some one of murder in the second degree, you are stating that you know he committed the murder, but you are alleging that he intended to do that act. So what you are proving is not murder, but intent. That puts this case into a very tough position for there is nothing ever tough to prove than intent, because that is to prove what he was thinking. You either have to own a witness that talked to him a day or two before, and he specifically told him that the is going to murder that man, you need a witness he specifically told that one of those days I am going to go after him and murder him. Or you need the officer to stand up in court and agree that he woke up that morning with intention to track Floyd and murder him. You need to show that he went both way side, stalked Floyd for days until when he got a chance to kill him, it is intent you are proving in this case. With that back ground, I see the defense requesting for a moving of that case out of the twin city for the city is too bias for a fair trial, there is a secondary danger into that for outside the twin cities, Minnesota does not have too many blacks, thus any smaller location it will be moved to you are going to have a jury of mostly white people charging a white police officer. And they are making a decision on a very serious charge based on understanding what the officer was thinking. Anger is good and this particular anger is very justified, but anger must never be used in deciding what to charge a police officer. The higher case to choose to charge, the tougher it becomes to prove in a court room. As a critical thinker, I worry about that single high end charge. But again I am not a lawyer let alone try to play one.
