I had a feeling of all the cops who shot and killed an innocent person that THIS cop would be punished. Just a gut feeling I had.

I vehemently disagree with that. This just goes to show that we do hold cops accountable. Yep, yep.
How depressing that the reasons why are so utterly predictable.
Like so predictable that 90% of the posts in this thread are gonna be "yep, thought so" posts

I'm torn. Good to see a cop actually face justice for his crimes, but sad to realize that if the cop was white and the victim brown, then this would have almost certainly gone the other way. America is fucked in so many ways.
Seriously. I entered the thread thinking "that's crazy." Then saw his name...
I think the conviction is good. However, the argument is that ALL police officers should be looked at the same as this Cop (black man). Makes me feel some sort of way when a white cop can do the same thing as this black cop did and it just gets swept under the carpet...
Yet all those unarmed black men killed can't get any justice near this aside from the guy in North Carolina who was gunned down while running away.
Haha nope, they're saying this cop was some kind of affirmative action hire and had some kind of shady past. I'm shocked at their hypocrisy!
I actually recommend reading the comments. It's like they are SO CLOSE to understanding the arguments on the other side... And yet...
Seriously, I thought oh they got one! Then I saw then name...oh nevermind. Disgusting.
On one hand I'm glad justice was served, but on the other hand, in the grand scheme of things - this is some ol' bullshit.
Exactly. A lot of white police officers get off by killing unarmed people of my race, & pretend that it never happened. Where's their justice? Those unarmed men are victims, too!
Some cops along with some courts are nothing but racist hypocrites. I hope I don't get banned for calling it out, but it must be said.
I hate us.Link

A black man's life isn't even worth a missed paycheck in this country
Lol I peeped the jig as soon as I read the title.
Good things don’t happen for us. Just them.
This will be what the
It's wrong that if the roles are reversed punishment hasn't been forthcoming. I'm not sure how that equates to this "feeling wrong".
I can't speak for the person you quoted, but I would prefer for us to all play by the same rules.
Note: by this I mean that white cops shouldn't get away with murder, just like this guy didn't.
I prefer that all cops that kill innocent people face the appropriate consequences. This has historically not been the case.
Your question is weird.
Yep. Live in the Twin Cities, so with this being in the news so much, this thought has been going through my head regularly.
“One of the good ones” status revoked.
Can’t be brown and just go around shooting white people.
Glad he’s doing time either way. Just wish it was more common of an outcome for cops shooting minorities

It's still a slap on the wrist considering what he did. I doubt he'll even serve half of that sentence.
Not just white, but attractive.
We can't have dark Skinned "Moslems" taking away our white, attractive women.
The only reason he got 12 year sentence is that he was a cop.
Otherwise life in prison or execution.
It's justice served on the back of injustice. He should go to jail. But so do many other cops who have murdered folks. The lack of police union support he received was telling.
Yep.
