As Usual, a Cop Gets Away With Murder

Do you remember this murder of a suspect (shot in the back!!) two years ago in a BART station by a cop?

Well, as ‘Gomer Pyle‘ used to say, “Surprise, surprise, surprise.” The government employee/murderer was given a two-year sentence. (I’m surprised that it was even that much—considering that his victim was black. Rioting has broken out over this travesty of justice. Perhaps Pres. Obama can have the white murderer over to the White House with the black victim’s mother for a “Beer Summit” in order to patch up the misunderstanding.)

UPDATE: “Good” news!

“With credit for time he has already served behind bars, Mehserle will be eligible for release in about seven months.”
