And from the land of taxes:
A Dauphin County jury has acquitted Hummelstown police Officer Lisa Mearkle of all charges.

The jury began deliberating Wednesday afternoon before delivering its decision Thursday afternoon following the two-day trial.

Mearkle, 37, shot and killed 59-year-old David Kassick in February after he fled from her attempt to stop him for an expired auto inspection sticker. The fatal encounter occurred in back of the South Hanover Township home of Kassick's sister.

Personally I don't think women are cut out to a cop.

I'm assuming Money and a good lawyer.

"I was only charged for political reasons. That's how I feel."
Mearkle said she fired one shot into Kassick's back, and when Kassick still wouldn't show his hands, she shot him again because "he continued to be a threat to me." Then, he did show both hands, she said.

One of the jurors could be seen weeping during Mearkle's testimony. The officer paused at one point and apologized to the panel for her agitation. "I'm sorry," she said. "I feel like I'm really mean to you jurors."

Under Baer's questioning, Mearkle said Kassick never verbally threatened her or moved as if he intended to physically attack her. She said she never saw a weapon.

You are a stupid mother fucker if you think the punishment for running from cops is death. That dumb bitch is afraid of her own shadow and should NEVER be allowed to carry a loaded gun anywhere at anytime. The guy was stopped for an expired sticker.

Even if you feel you've being wronged, you're a fucking idiot if you chose to not listen and follow directions when your life is at risk. He's responsible for his behavior. His stupidity got him whacked.

That's clearly what the jury found as well.

"The majority of jurors, not only in Dauphin County but throughout Pennsylvania, are very pro-police officer," said Caroline Roberto, a Pittsburgh attorney and past president of the state association of criminal defense lawyers.

Roberto pointed to a routine jury selection question that gets asked at the start of nearly every trial: "Would you tend to give more credibility to the testimony of a police officer over another person simply because he or she is a police officer?"

"I've asked that question and I've had 50 to 60 percent of the people say 'yes,'" Roberto noted Friday.

"And it doesn't matter what is going on in the world" in terms of broader police-community relations, Roberto added. "The response is: 'I was always taught to trust a police officer. To believe a police officer.'"

Roberto's observations are rooted in fact.

While there are hundreds of police shootings that result in deaths each year - a Washington Post tracker has recorded 834 so far in 2015 - only a fraction of them are ever prosecuted as criminal acts.

And of those that are, like Mearkle's case, just 23.7 percent have resulted in a conviction over the last decade, according to Bowling Green University professor Philip Stinson, who studies police-committed crimes.

That's a far lower conviction rate than in similar cases brought against civilian defendants.

Stinson agrees with Roberto that that gap reflects a deeply-ingrained cultural bias toward wanting to believe that the police are there to protect and serve, not to hurt.

"If it (a police action) can be explained in any rationale way," Stinson observed Friday, "they (jurors) are generally going to excuse the conduct or acquit the officer. It's got to be something over the top to have an officer convicted."

Well there you have it --- and how long did the victim live in the county?
Listen when you do stupid stuff, bad things can happen. That's clearly what happened to this idiot.

I think that's why there's so much trouble.
People run from the police and the police never lose.

Listen you maybe correct about the folks in the county, but let me ask you, having that knowledge, would you make the decision to run?

The issue is the victims culpability. The dude made a bad decision and paid with his life. Sometimes you just don't get do overs. Screwing with the cops can be one of those times.

I just smile at the cops and they leave me alone.

Also, I do my best not to break the law, like running from cops, reaching for their weapons, etc.

How many days in a row has it been now that I haven't been killed by a cop? 14 years since I've even had a fucking ticket. Unstoppable upstanding citizen am I.

I'm gonna pamper my white skin today. Deserves cred for shielding me from police bullets. Maybe hide in a really dark room for a couple hours, get away from the UV's, might whiten up my skin a tone or two.

I haven't ran from cops since I was 16 or 17...that's irrelevant though.. I recognize right and wrong when I see it.. I don't understand how anyone can watch that video and not agree.
