Guilty on 2nd degree manslaughter and 3rd degree murder.
That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

It’s never the ONLY thing in any single case involving non-violent black people getting shot (which happens at a disproportionate rate) with zero consequences for the officer. On aggregate though it’s hard to say that it’s not the main factor.

Uh no, racism in this country has nothing to do with conspiracies.
So you believe the jury looked at Noor and found him guilty because of his race and not the facts?
You do think if all the facts were the same but the races were reversed he'd have gotten off?

Re: Cops 6: The More You Pay, The Faster We'll Come!
I think this was the right outcome but you’d be deluding yourself if you don’t think race wasn’t a factor in a number of other cases such as Philando’s or some of the various other cases over the years in which a white cop (or someone like George Zimmerman) got off scot-free (or didn’t and got an extremely light sentence given the circumstances like the cop in Oakland who reached for his real gun instead of his taser) after shooting/killing a non-threatening black person. I don’t know if it had a factor in this one case or not but given the history of these cases and the outcomes I think that’s a possibility.
Re: Cops 6: The More You Pay, The Faster We'll Come!
Zimmerman got off on a BS law.
Philando's shooter was not white...unless you are saying it's the victims race that matters.
Yes it is possible race was a factor...my issue is your insinuation race was the major factor.
Noor had no case...espcially when he never claimed he saved his partner or his own life in the shooting...but "feared for his life."

Re: Cops 6: The More You Pay, The Faster We'll Come!
There's no question that the demographics of the case were a factor. Black cop, white woman, and he was clearly guilty. That's an open and shut case for any DA willing to prosecute, and allows them to say, "See, we got one! We're totally not buds with the po-po!"
Yeah which he was legally carrying and told the cop right away. I assume everyone here knows that detail by now.
Yes we do. I'm saying I can understand (even though I don't agree) that a jury could reach that Yanez felt his life was in danger....there can be no such belief with Noor.
