of course not.. it's not called a 'cover up' for lack of a better phrase..it really is a scandal being hidden

I'd "bet" we'll never learn the truth about this.

PUN WAS INTENDED

LOLZ LOLZ LOLZ

The Washington Post ran a follow-up article on 4/14, that's the last I've heard.

A guy with no criminal record getting an immediate death sentence is not okay... you aren't a criminal until a jury says you are. Yes, he was shot by accident. However who made the decision to send a SWAT team out to get someone with no criminal record? Why not just send a couple of uniforms to the door, knock on it, and when he answers say "come with us please"? The decisionmaker who decided to send this unreasonable (and expensive) jackboot force should be disciplined for the decision.

David Koresh could have been nabbed while jogging, but the ATF decided it would be better to send an armed force after him when he was in his compound with all the weapons. Nice choice that resulted in the gassing and burning of women and children. Sometimes the "overwhelming force" strategy results in unintended consequences.

I loved the comment from the district attorney (Horan), which was something to the effect of, "If you kill someone and didn't intend to do it, no crime has been committed".

Let's edit that for clarity: "If you [are a police officer and] kill someone and didn't intend to do it, no crime has been committed." [Everyone else will face a manslaughter charge]

I guess he's dropping all the "involuntary manslaughter" cases on the County docket then... what a pathetic excuse.

That's an awful thing to say. He was gambling, that is all. That doesn't deserve the death penalty. He was cooperating with the cops handling the arrest. He didn't deserve to die.

right... they released all the details they want people to know. why not just release all the info? perhaps because it's worse than it seems but more likely they just dont want the general puble to see what has happened so they keep it really low profile. the info sounds rather strait forward, unarmed people, trigger happy cops. also, wtf is GP? oh and yes, the cop should feel bad too, he killed someone without provocation.

General Public.

I saw General Public at HFSTival 1995... I love that 1980's pop. "Tenderness" was a great song, and those guys sure did have crazy hair.

Update: He is dead forget him.I would love to buy that cop a box of ammo for his punk blaster.It would make my day.

Was this in Culmore?

Civil suit settled for $2 million. They were probably hoping that would shut everyone up and everyone could go back to work trumping up charges on other quasi-criminals.
