I know and fully understand that LEO bashing is against the rules on this site, and if I get banned for starting this post so be it.

Everett Police Officer Troy Meade was found not gulity of murder today ... this is one big step forward for police officers to get more agressive and shoot your sorry butt and then scream in court "I feared for my life"

Facts: Meade was furtrated with an unarmed drunk that he tazed twice. His fellow officer heard him say: "time to end this, enough is enough" before he shot him 7 times. This is un-freaking-believable, I have followed this story since it started "Officer meade lied under oath"

"After the verdict was announced, Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Gerald Knight sent the jury back behind closed doors to decide whether Meade acted in self defense. If so, the costs of his defense must be borne by the state."


"The jury was sent home at about 5:25 p.m. without having announced a decision. Jurors were scheduled to return Tuesday morning."

If he does keep his job as a Police Officer I hope he is taken off the street and put behind a desk answering the phones.
Actually an acceptable 'light duty' assignment is watching video of 'red light' safety camera's and mailing out tickets.

And the driver almost got away with driving his Corvette with a BAL of .26. If I had to choose between the drunk driver meeting his maker and a car packed with a family down the street from the bar the drunk driver just left meeting their maker...bye-bye drunk driver.

I don't remember the part where the driver almost got away with driving anywhere - all but the murderer said there was no such danger.

I am a raging gun-toting liberal lunatic. At leat I have my priorities straight, right? I am not an angry person, promise. I do have an opinion, just like every other person on here and express it just like every one else on here. I see nothing out of the ordinary about the way I conduct my self on this discussion page.

Shocked ! I do not see why, he was judged by 12 of his peers and found not guilty is this not what we all would hope to occur if in his shoes ?

Some people only have faith in the system if it is in agreement with their inherent bias...in this case, bias against LEO's.

BigDave is right - if I were a murderer I would hope to get away with it! Sylvia is also correct about some people being selective in their faith in the system. That's the beauty of being skeptical - I never have faith in anything!

It is your right as a human being to have an axe to grind. Grind away terming a hero that deserves an award for protecting the public as a "murderer."

Wow what a comment Bob, you must feel if you were in that position you would be guilty and hope for a reprieve?

This was not my point at all, it is that person acting with in the law and faced with a trail by a jury of their peers would be validated.

Thus jury after weighing all the facts found him not guilty but not in some eyes.
As for me I have not seen the evidence and was not in the court room thus I would hope our citizens acted correctly.
