The fact that this police officer is being punished refutes those arguments.It's supposed to be. Whether it is or not is arguable.
A very disturbing story to say the least. I guess it turns out we can't trust cops after all.White people blaming imaginary black people for crimes is nothing new.

We'll see. Have faith in the jury system.This is an anomaly, and the evil doer has yet to actually be convicted, cops in general are above the law.
One officer being charged (not punished) for one of the criminal acts in their career, equates to justice, I think not.The fact that this police officer is being punished refutes those arguments.
That is, to the extent that facts matter, which is less and less the case in modern discourse.
Routinely? That's a stretch. You'd have to show the numbers to make that allegation valid I'd think.The jury system that routinely convicts innocent people on the say so of cops and prosecuters, of all the things one could have faith in that's low on the list.
You want the whole department to be charged because one police officer shot herself?One officer being charged (not punished) for one of the criminal acts in their career, equates to justice, I think not.

Is that justice, in your point of view?
Of 492 cases the Innocence Project has worked on 344 have been exonerated 148 have been shown to be actually guilty. Now this is hardly exhaustive but it's not like the government is going to show statistics on how bad the system is. I belive this to be indicative of our injustice system, and these are people convicted by a jury of their peers.Routinely? That's a stretch. You'd have to show the numbers to make that allegation valid I'd think.
