Guilty of 2nd degree murder. 16 guilty charges of aggravated battery with a firearm. Not guilty of official misconduct.

So apparently murder is SOP for Chicago cops.

Someone pointed out that each aggravated battery charge are six year minimums to be served consecutively, not concurrently, which is a minimum of 96 years. This allows his wife and kids to receive his pension while he effectively serves a life sentence.

I guess I don’t care if his wife and kids get his pension.
 
Re: Cops 6: The More You Pay, The Faster We'll Come!

That's the part that bugs me...

If that gets taken away, you set a precedent that will be far reaching. And IMHO, that is a precedent for the better...

More than a few Chicago cops like to make it known how much they make. There is also a sizable crossover of those guys with those who use their guns & power over others as a d*ck enhancer. Show that if they act reckless and they will get kicked off the gravy train, you might get a few to take notice of their actions.

Yeah, she should have to go out and get a job, instead of being a lazy pension queen who just happened to open her legs for a convicted felon.




See how this works?

They might, but what about their families? Seriously. Let's ruin a family to prove a point. That's just bullsh*. I'm NOT excusing the cop. He got his just due. But to screw the family? No. Nuh-uh. That's just wrong.

Devil's advocate: Van Dike destroyed McDonald's family. Why should Van Dike's family be spared?


While I don't know if this was the reason the jurors decided the way they did, I can understand if that was (and, I'm okay with how it was handled). Also, there does seem to be some cleaning of house because of this trial, as it was brought up that three officers happened to have identical false statements of what happened that were completely 100% contradictory of the recorded video.


Oh, and F2B&G? Bravo. I tip my cap at your post.

Devil's Advocate response: why destroy MORE lives? The buck has to stop somewhere. Someone has to be the bigger person.

And Fade's post was indeed an intelligent one.

Prison time is not Eye for an Eye. If we followed that system, we would have already executed the cop, and probably given his family to the McDonalds as slaves.

I'd be okay with executing the cop. Don't mess with the family. They had nothing to do with it.

Edit: some would argue prison time is worse. I don't agree with that, but could be convinced, depending on solitary/etc.
 
Re: Cops 6: The More You Pay, The Faster We'll Come!

The only people who advocate eye for an eye in the 21st century are savages.

The argument can be made with American max prisons, yes. Not so much in low security or a lot of prison systems in the rest of the "civilized" world.

I was about to say you might want to watch a Russian prison doc one of these days, but then you said "civilized", so...
