Seems kinda dumb, but not sure if it's thread worthy. According to the subtitle those dudes were suspected of murder and shot 30+ times at the cops?

What did the bystanders the cops put in danger by shooting through the windshield of their own moving vehicle do to deserve being put in harm's way?

Bystanders were already in harm’s way by the suspects barreling down the streets trying to flee the police. I guess they could just not chase the guys...

Cops shouldn't have guns

has to be the easiest way to quickly ameliorate the problem.

Welp, guns don't kill people, cops kill people

I think it could happen. It's less likely, though.

serious question: why are regular cops (not detectives) allowed to take their service weapons home with them?

Lots of police departments don't even issue guns, the officer has to provide their own from an approved list.

Van Dyke verdict is being read at 1:45. I predict guilty on everything except 1st degree murder

Rage Against the McKee · « **Reply #1566 on:** October 05, 2018, 01:15:18 PM »

I don't see how you could justify aggravated battery with a firearm but not first degree murder. Either it was self defense or it wasn't.

8manpick · « **Reply #1567 on:** October 05, 2018, 01:17:38 PM »

Could be. The extent of my legal training is considering taking the LSAT for a while.

Guilty of 2nd degree murder, all 16 counts of aggravated battery with a firearm, not guilty of official misconduct. Good result, IMO.

That is weird to me, but I agree with the overall result. Should be in prison for a very long time, anyway.

Each count of battery has a mandatory minimum of 6 years, he'll die in jail.

No chance of parole?

At least 85% must be served. I don't know if there is a chance any of these run concurrently. It's 6-30 for each battery and 4-20 for 2nd.

Walking back to my hotel late last night and noticed a heavy police presence right next door (City Hall). So I drunkenly approached an officer (I'm white), and it turns out they were bracing for the potential fallout from this. Glad things didn't come to that.

You should mention what city you're in
