Grand jury clears Georgia Trooper in shooting

From the description, I'd have to say that I think this one should have at least gone to trial.

Attorney Francys Johnson said, “Notably, during the subsequent preliminary hearing the lead GBI Agent also testified that Thompson could not have feared harm from Lewis’ inoperable vehicle as only one second in time elapsed from when Thompson took his foot off the brake of his patrol car, emerged from his vehicle, unholstered his weapon, pointed it at Lewis, and fired, fatally striking the unarmed Lewis in the forehead. Today, however, when presented with the same evidence previously considered by the GBI and Judge Peed, a Screven County Grand Jury chose not to indict Thompson on any charges.”

The “system” has been, is, and will always be corrupt to a certain extent…no matter what race is involved. When I say “system” I’m referring to any large organization and am not limiting it to LE. It’s a bi-product of human nature when many people work together yet have their own personal agendas or when the organization’s leaders have less than desirable aspirations.
