No way anyone could convince me, or other decent American citizens, that in this particular case the actions of Brooks...deserved a judge, jury and execution...by a cop.

Particularly after seeing the cops response (kicking/standing on), after he was already on the ground dying from being shot twice in the back...and BEFORE attempting to render any medical aid.

Even in the old wild, wild, west, there was a code...that you don't shoot someone in the back, or kick them when they're down.

The question is this; Is victim blaming and denigration as bad or the same or worse than felony false imprisonment and felony credit card fraud?

If you were the dad, Which of the two would you wish for your son???
