If he lied on stand, he deserves to be punished as harshly as possible. Even more so than if a normal citizen did it.
Except you (still) don't have a clue.

Winner winner chicken dinner! I'm so glad u wear it as a badge of honor
The trooper wrote that he removed Ms. Bland from her car in order to conduct a safe traffic investigation, but “the grand jury found that statement to be false,” a special prosecutor, Shawn McDonald, said.
I wouldn't break out the party hats just yet, according to local lawyers it going to be difficult at best to prove the statement beyond a reasonable doubt as being perjury. If he's acquitted he will more than likely be reinstated as a state trooper.
Most people don't realize that officers usually aren't fired permanently. Usually what happens is they are quietly rehired once all the public outrage has subsided
Nope, found not guilty, and was not fired. Yet has to hide. Bought a house that his name is not on the title. Has security cameras linked to his phone on the property because of death threats. Not guilty, yet cannot find work as a cop. Told he is a liability. Thanks to the rush to judgement, lies of witnesses, and extremely poor media reporting this is his world now.
Of course he was found not guilty... The system is rigged... The guilt is obvious to anyone who watched that tape.
There was no tape of the event we were talking about. Try reading the posts before replying, I was responding to a post about Darren Wilson.
But hey, nice ignorant blanket statement.
Then you are off topic.
It's not a blanket statement either, it's a factual one.
What's most important is who you know, followed closely by how much money you have. Actual guilt is tertiary at best!
I learned a long time ago...you fuck with police, and they'll fuck with you. Not saying this is acceptable...it's just what I've found to be true from years of "personal" experience.
Sandra Bland and I couldn't agree more...the only difference being is that I'm alive to say it and she isn't.It is true. And when they do abuse their authority they need to be smacked down hard to remind them of where they derive their authority. Something about the consent of the governed...

I think it would be fair to say 'simple good fortune' should not be underestimated....nor common sense for that matter.Do you attribute your survival to extra skills, knowledge, intelligence or maybe even skin color you may have had over what she had, or do you think it more a matter of chance in operation, simple good fortune.
Dead people do no smacking.It is true. And when they do abuse their authority they need to be smacked down hard to remind them of where they derive their authority. Something about the consent of the governed...

If Werepossum doesn't, I do.Did you have a point to make?

Links to the tape, bernie.Of course he was found not guilty... The system is rigged... The guilt is obvious to anyone who watched that tape.
Not quite so much that. My point was that if a cop shows his ass and you don't, you then have an opportunity to seek redress. If a cop shows his ass and you then show yours, you may well end up dead. And dead people do no smacking.If Werepossum doesn't, I do.
Werepossum (in 765) was casting doubt on the realism of your statement in 761 that law enforcers tremble before the principle of "the consent of the governed".
That is fine philosophy but a complete fantasy for any black American. The chances of the trooper concerned, getting 'smacked right back', are minimal.
Deeply racist societies do not work that way. They squirm away from, rather than embrace, any notion of racial justice. Hollywood might celebrate such imaginary moments but real life disappoints, in this regard.
Few victims of lynchings climbed the rope and noose hanging them, sewed their testicles back on, and demanded justice in the Supreme Court. They just suffered, mostly in anonymity.
To many Americans, including some on this board, Sandra Bland "had it coming" for challenging the 'man'. (yes, I know, you are not one of those).
But the fact remains, most lynch mobs got away with in in the 1930's and most white cops 'get away with it' in recent times. The 'governed' are not consulted about the finer points of day to day policing. If it were otherwise, Bland would have driven on.
Call me an "illiterate shit", by all means, as you did some months back, but the fact remains, the stats support my argument.
(BTW, you are not Ron Swanson. He was a pretend misanthrope with a funny script. You are the exact opposite.)
