I really do believe he will do time. We have a Republican DA charging a cop with murder. That’s huge, and a precedent. The DA’s also suggesting the video the public hasn’t seen is even more damning than what they have seen. At the same time, I do hear a lot of people trying to rationalize this crap, and I don’t think they’re all just a bunch of whacko nazis. Or at least they don’t know they are. “He panicked.” “He was provoked.” Blah, blah, woof, woof. However, there are too many eyes on this, it’s the worst and most obvious case ever, and it’s the one-to-many-eth time. Jerry Brown, Barbara Lee, Ron Dellums, and even Tom Orloff know it.

In order for a District Attorney to charge a cop with murder, the other officers present would have had to give some very damining testimony against him. There will more than likely be a plea to manslaughter. In order for the DA to fil those charges, his own department woulh have more than likely already told the DA that the shooting was way out of policy and they would not back him.

He’s going to prison.

If it was a black cop I still would think jail time is the only punishment.
