Discuss the criminal justice system and police misconduct.
You don't think criminals have their reasons? What reason might a person have to rob a bank? The desire for free money? Having a reason doesn't make an activity legal. Nevertheless, finding this guy guilty in the instant case has absolutely ZERO to do with the previous case. Is the guy a hothead? It appears so. Was he a hothead with the cops? Probably. Nothing in that fact pattern authorizes the cops to become criminals. He earned his $800,000 fair and square. If society would not allow cops to be criminals, it would save a lot of money. If society were to serve time in prison for every criminal act allowed to be committed by cops, there would be no one to watch the prisoners. Dirty cops are all day, every day, as society allows it, as society is ignorant and knows not the law but its indoctrinated beliefs, which are not factual nearly 100% of the time.
