“I was wrongfully terminated. How do you argue with a jury of 12 who all agree on the same thing?” Jay Cicinelli, former corporal at Fullerton PD, told the Orange County Register on Tuesday.

Be grateful you are still allowed to live free (so to speak).

Man: comparing Gothmog to that cop is just mean. Gothmog is rightly upset;)

Somewhere a belltower is missing its hunchback.

I hope all of those jury members who sat there and gave these two pigs a Not Guilty verdict look Jay Cicinelli in the eye and say "Yes, I trust you to patrol the streets once more".

Fuck em.

Fuckin' cowards, the lot of them.

Which eye?

[Spikender]

Which eye?

Whichever one happens to be looking at them.

Whichever one isn't will have my fist stuffed in it.

Not saying its applicable in this case, but Osan suggested that even if an officer legitimately kills someone they should still lose their jobs. I agree... it should not be taken lightly.

I'm not sure where I stand on that opinion, but I will say that we essentially have the exact opposite going on now; an officer kills someone, and the victim deserved it and the officer is given paid time off while the department covers his ass.

Did you mean "didn't" deserve it?

[Spikender]

Did you mean "didn't" deserve it?

No, I meant what I said. I was speaking from more of the police department and bootlicking point of view with that sentence.

[Christian Liberty]

Oh, OK, I get it.

[Anti Federalist]

And he'll get it.

With back pay.

And 401k contributions.

Truly sad. When it is a white guy, no one makes a sound. When it is a black guy, the media does nothing but race bating and the issue of a dominating police state is shoved under the rug.

"Yeah, I murdered someone, to death, in cold blood, what of it?"

[Scrapmo]

I'm sorry the position has been filled.

Of course he wants his job back, where else can you beat people to death and get away with it?

[belian78]

I say let him have at it. Get him out there like nothing happened, give him that sense of security. Get him out there and not moved away where no one knows who he is.

America, the new Mordor.

Actually with that eye, the dude reminds me of Mason Verger in Hannibal.

I can only imagine what it would be like coming up on this guy considering his position on the whole thing. Arrogance knows no boundaries with this one. That said, he should be hired to patrol the area of his peers who felt he was not responsible for the death. Let them personally subject their families to this guy. They should have thought long and hard before making that verdict because it is exactly what they opened themselves up to and I cannot see how they will be able to refuse him. Sadly, those who let him off likely won't be his next victim because bullies beat on the helpless and downtrodden and he will choose others whose voice will be lost under speculation of how much said victim deserved it.

I just think that anyone that felt justice wasn't served with his verdict would want him comfortable and out in the open, not paranoid and in hiding. But you make a good point as well. :D
