In a perfect world that would be fine.

What's more fucked up is jumping to conclusions when you have no facts. We'll find out in due time and I bet folks who have jumped to conclusions that end up not being supported by the facts will not concede, but shout conspiracy. I refuse to be pulled into such pointless discussions.

Plus one.

The only way to deal with a troll is to ignore it, no matter what the provocation.

I can already tell you what the verdict will be...

"The department has concluded it's internal investigation and has concluded the shooting was justified and that the officer acted properly"

That's the only verdict that will be issued and is how it's always been. They will protect their own.

That's my prediction too.

Not with the FBI and Justice involved. At this point, there may well be a 50% chance that the shooting was indeed justified and appropriate. You and I just don't know.

What's interesting is how people become vested in the results of the investigation coming out in a fashion that confirms their preconceived notion of what happened and will scream conspiracy if it doesn't. I'm quite comfortable waiting.

Nah, it's just that in recent years I've chosen to completely ignore cable TV's outrage of the week.
