The State's Attorney's Office declined to comment further on the case, citing ethical obligations.

lol. The sheer farking balls it took to say that.

The only reason this is acceptable is if the prosecutor thinks there is a decent chance of acquittal if it goes to trial.

Which is a whole other indictment of our
legal system and society.

Not in any way accepting this, but cops are trained to empty their revolver once they start shooting.   So once the first shot is fired, the rest just follow.

I pretty much give up, and it's not because of cops, necessarily, but because of Lil Kyle R.   Consider what he really did, the felonies that we know he committed, and he got away with it except for pending civil litigation.   Then consider the Uvalde police and how they got away with not doing anything at all.

The police have no standards when it comes to doing their jobs, in general.   None at all.   They are exceptional, legally.   Anything they do can be excepted from any punishment.   I suppose if you pile enough crimes on one or two, something may stick, but that's it.   That's the limit.

I don't know which is worse the dirty cops or the prosecutors who try to get away with giving the cops a slap on the wrist. Many, many people should sent to prison or be fired for this.

What hick part of the world do you live in where a cop has a revolver?

M&P or glock is the standard.

And why was he in the front seat. You never get front seat. Cops didn't like it when I asked if it was OK for me to bring my hands up front to make a phonecall. The first time they hated that I made my hands end up in front of me

At least the cop admitted to shooting the victim this time. There was a case a while back where a woman was handcuffed with her hands behind her back and the cops claimed she shot herself in the mouth.

Why on earth was the perp offered a plea deal in the first place? Because the State's Attorney shouldn't have had any trouble getting a conviction on the facts of the case. If there was reasonable room for doubt, I don't see it.

Someone didn't want to risk an endorsement from Maryland's finest at the next election.

The cops might even target the district attorney or their families.

/ You might think that THAT would be a pretty strong motivation for the district attorneys to make sure that cops that would do that shiat were off of the police force....

Since when have cops been carrying revolvers, other than the one they keep in an ankle holster to throw at the person they just shot 9 times with their 17-shot Glock, in order to justify the shooting?

Revolver. LOL.

I say handcuff the cop with his hands behind his back, throw him into a room with the family, close the door, and ignore all further pleas.

Did you mean hung jury? All 12 would have to vote not guilty for an acquittal.

Usually don't see that level of shenanigans until you're much farther south.

I haven't seen a cop with a revolver in over 30 years.

They have semi-autos, with "large" (standard) capacity magazines of 15 or more rounds.

I'm surprised you didn't get shot when you did that, but then I might hazard that you're several skin tones above light brown.

9/17 shots would be better aim than we usually see when cops empty their weapons.

Obviously the cop showed restraint, he could have shot him 9 more times without reloading and didn't. That's good faith right there, and his training bore fruit.

He was in the front seat because the police car he was in lacked a partition. Department policy allowed placing a detainee in the front seat of there was no partition.

But you don't understand, he reached for the officer's gun.  While he was handcuffed.  Behind his back.  Look, he was a very flexible guy, ok?
