"The system has, once again, declared its own innocence," lamented one activist after a Georgia prosecutor's office said it would not charge the killers of Manuel Terán, better known as "Tortuguita."
Maybe a strange question but are there bad-cop murders in the US?
I mean you could find out quite easily who the shooter was and considering the quite tense situation with police brutality it doesn’t seem far fetched that family or friends might want to get revenge.
Are there cases where people try to take justice into their own hands?
The most publicized one is Christopher Dorner, in which a good cop decided he’d had enough. It included both a demonstration of how little the cops care who they hurt once they have decided you are going down, and sadly (and IMO only) IIRC from the last time I read the details, Christopher Dorner did legit go a bit too far to cheer him as a hero of the people in the end.
As proven time and time again by police, the very basic gun safety rule of “Know your target and what is behind it” applies to literally every other gun owner except police.
