Reply to Then-officer who fatally shot Patrick Lyoya will stand trial for the killing by 5xad0w

Thank you CNN for calling him a "then-officer" instead of an "ex-officer." It's about damn time.

You use the word respectfully, but then the rest of your comment is quite disrespectful. Just adding that word to the beginning doesn't change that.

As I thought would be clear from my comment, I read multiple independent sources. All appeared to be trustworthy established news sources (Colorado Public radio, Denver Post and local NBC affiliate, in addition to this one which didn't have a lot of detail). All of their accounting of the events matched the interpretation I recounted.

One could believe that these independent and competing news sources all collaborated to falsely describe the events that occurred, or something similar. Or one could acknowledge that is more than sufficient to reach a conclusion cautiously described as "It sounds like," which indicates it may not be accurate, but it's a reasonable starting point.

This article didn't have a lot of detail, so I googled and read a few more articles. It sounds like he didn't distract them, they distracted themselves. They could have chosen to just ignore him entirely; he wasn't actually interfering in any way. They instead chose to focus their attention on him.

Sounds like the jury made the right call here, 100%.

"Wasn't supposed to" carries different meaning when it's something proactively enforced vs something just used to tack on extra charges after another crime is committed. Guns are super easy to get in the US, since they're so ubiquitous.

Any UK folks want to fill the rest of us in on if this is a great/terrible/meh result?

That's not what "by a jury of your peers" means though. There's no conflict with that.

Jesus, these accusations are bombshell. I have a hard time imagining these specific and detailed allegations coming out of thin air.

Edit: a word

I've given up believing that pointing out hypocrisy can move the needle at all on zealots (see the modern US Conservative movement). But it is good to point it out for third parties who perhaps are new to any issue or party or movement and hadn't yet seen enough information to know what's what.

At the moment, there are no comments here saying or implying a mass shooting. Yours is the only one bringing it up.
