Not too many people are willing to throw their support behind insurance companies that are literalyl responsible for preventable deaths.

I posted that in response, because in fact, the healthcare insurance industry is not the most well liked industry in the US. This is evidenced by the fact the prosecutors are worried it may impact the trail despite the overwhelming evidence as pointed out in the article in the OP.

In turn, you some how you took me agreeing with the prosecutors and stating the fact that many people do not like the healthcare insurance industry as evidence that I'm in favor of murder in the streets! That seems like a huge leap to me. Your turn to go back and read what what we both wrote and tell me how you arrived at that conclusion based on what I posted.

It doesn't matter what the insurance companies are doing. Shooting an unarmed man in the back as seen in the video is never justified.
