You do realize that most police officers in these type of shootings are exonerated by "people" either on juries or grand juries.


So who are all of these "people" who you claim would freak out and blame the cop.

I agree that some people would, but when you look at the entire picture the premise of this thread is false.  Most people are reasonable about threats to police and that is why almost all of these police end up being exonerated.

These police end up getting exonerated because they aren't tried by the media, Facebook, message boards, etc.  I don't deny that the evidence could show that he was innocent, but even if it did, Americans are too feeble-minded to recognize it and treat it as such.

Just look at all of the police officer shootings that happen.  If you say that people don't overreact regardless of the evidence that supports the officer, you're either lying, trolling, stupid, or a combination of the three.  A good deal of people have their mind made up and evidence doesn't sway them.
