There are ignorant idiots in all walks of life unfortunately.
As for these scum? Using Michael Brown as an excuse to punch someone in the face, just demonstrates the absence of the old grey matter.
The lack of intervention from any of the other passengers is something that people have become used to, almost expect I suppose?

Killing people is against the law.
Actually there is NO law that states that.
A good lawyer could make a winning case for the defendant in most of the 'knockout' videos I've seen as well as this one. The victim was surrounded, had nowhere to go, outnumbered, and was not the aggressor.
ETA: At that point all he would have to say is "I was in fear for my life". Innocent or hung jury guaranteed... unless you live in CA or NY of course.
There's no law that states it's illegal to kill people?
To the OP - I see I've already been beaten (no pun intended) to the Holder and Sharpton comments. Dang.
Murder yes, kill no. I know you are a cop so if it exists it should be easy to find.
Killing doesn't mean murdering.
Murder is an unlawful killing. Ergo, a lawful killing isn't murder.
Killing somebody can be either lawful or unlawful. No, there's no law against lawfully killing somebody. Yes, there are laws against unlawfully killing somebody.
That's exactly my point. Has been since the beginning..

And my point is that the blanket statement of "there's no law against killing people" is incorrect and untrue. Otherwise there would be no crime of murder, since murder involves killing somebody.
If it's lawful, it's not murder. If it's unlawful, it's murder and still means "you" killed someone.
To begin with, not all homicides are crimes. Homicides include all killings of humans. Many homicides, such as murder and manslaughter, violate criminal laws. Others, such as a killing committed in justified self-defense, are not criminal. Illegal killings range from manslaughter to murder, with multiple degrees of each representing the gravity of the crime.

Look at that white privilege in action.
(also, not in any way a hate crime)

I'm not justifying anyone my first post was a call for stiffer penalties. I understand why they act the way they do, that does not mean I condone it.
You wanted to argue semantics, and here we are.
Killing is taking a life. Murder is doing so unlawfully.
But thanks for explaining homicide detectives to me. Always wondered what they did
