Seems that selling untaxed cigarettes or walking in the street are now capitol offenses.
Sure, both guys had attitude with the police but is that cause for police to shoot 6 times ending with a shot to the top of the head or to have a choke hold placed for long enough to kill? Neither incident should have happened. At least one cop is charged - maybe a second one soon!
If a cop says to move out of the street, do it. If the person does not move, gives attitude, is it proper to try and slap on cuffs? No. It is no big deal. The cop should have let it go. The cop just wanted to show he was as tough. Well, the cop's life changed in a moment forever - just like Zimmerman's did - and not for the better.
