Back in 2011 AF posted a thread on this. "IL-Chicago cop under investigation for executing unarmed man who was down. (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?325657-IL-Chicago-cop-under-investigation-for-executing-unarmed-man-who-was-down)" Now we learn that after the city settled with the family for millions, the cop has been cleared.


Chicago Cop Cleared: Admits To Drinking Before He Shot Unarmed Man In Back Three Times, Cop’s Third Shooting In Six Months

Earlier this year, the city of Chicago settled (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CDEQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fchicago.cbslocal.com%2F2013%2F02% 2F15%2Fcity-council-approves-4-1m-settlement-for-unarmed-man-shot-by-cop%2F&ei=uxZ9UuD5FuiwsQTB44DYDw&usg=AFQjCNGll1ITLwCcNTPmytMaSdSofIqDDQ&sig2=Ou3N2_WN4WnDYl9cG-Hlcw) with the family of Flint Farmer, who was shot by Officer Gildardo Sierra in June 2011, for $4.1 million but made no admission of guilt. Sierra fired 16 rounds, hitting the unarmed Farmer seven times. It was Sierra’s third shooting, and second fatal shooting, in six months. The officer admitted to having been drinking before coming into work. A dashboard cam caught video (http://www.chicagotribune.com/videogallery/65555204/News/Dash-cam-video-of-police-shooting) of a part of the shooting, which appeared to show Sierra shooting Farmer in the back as Farmer lay on the ground. At the time the city’s police superintendent, Garry McCarthy, said the shooting was a “big problem” and that the department shouldn’t have sent Sierra back on the streets after the first two shootings.

Nevertheless, prosecutors cleared Sierra in the Farmer shooting, accepting the officer’s claim that he feared for his life and insisting the situation was more complicated than the video suggested.

:mad::mad: Let me guess, the cop wasn't sued personally. Cop didn't spend a day in jail.

Prosecutors pointed to several key pieces of evidence in deciding against charging the officer. One was a wound to Farmer's right hand that suggested he was pointing his arm at Sierra when he was shot. Prosecutors believe that was one of the first shots, if not the first, to hit him. In addition, DNA tests showed that blood on Farmer's phone was his, suggesting he was holding the phone when shot. The other shots followed, with the last three hitting Farmer in the back.

Prosecutors said their investigation showed that all 16 shots — all that Sierra's Sig Sauer semi-automatic handgun could hold — were fired within 4.2 seconds BS, I bet the first shot did not hit him. When the badged perp fired on the victim, the victim probably put his hand up as a natural reaction to the gunshots.

For some, murder is no big deal when there aren't any consequences.

brings to mind the military. Now we've got another military developing... a militarized police.

OK then, didn't intend to jump to any premature conclusions here... not without a careful investigation and review handled by the police authorities. So, now let's proceed to pin full responsibility for the murder on the alcohol and whoever served it to the cop...

Or do what Cartman did to Scott Tenorman.



The next day at the chili cook-off, both Scott and Chef bring chili for the competition, as does Cartman. After they sit down to eat, Scott eats some of Cartman's chili, while Cartman lavishly scarfs down Scott's, much to the silent enjoyment of the onlookers (including Stan and Kyle), who are in on Scott's prank. As Cartman is finishing Scott's chili, Scott prepares to tell him the secret ingredient, but Cartman then indicates that he already knew, and the chili he is eating is not Scott's, as he switched it with Chef's. Cartman tells Scott that he told Stan and Kyle about his plan because he knew they would betray him and warn Scott. Cartman then announces that his actual plan was to get Mr. Denkins, the farmer who owns the pony, to shoot and kill Scott's parents for trespassing (saying that there were "pony killers" in the area). While Denkins was busy with the police, Cartman then stole the corpses, chopped them up and placed their body parts into the very chili Scott was eating. Scott then finds his mother's finger in the bowl and immediately vomits and starts crying. Cartman's final stage of his plan occurs when the members of Radiohead come along and – unaware of what just happened to Scott – make fun of Scott for crying. Finally, Cartman begins licking the "tears of unfathomable sadness" from Scott's face, and Stan and Kyle, horrified at the depths to which Cartman went for revenge, agree to never anger him again.
