Could you imagine if this was you or me that killed someone like he did, we would be looking at life without parole
True
We have to vote
You're absolutely right we would get life or the death penalty
But lets not call it a race thing... black cops get off too. www.google.com/amp/s/newsone.com/3892414/white-woman-black-cop-n-word/amp/
@@criticalthinking8665 good one less racist in the world
I got 8 years for possession of a fire arm. I never had a fire arm, they never found one no witnesses. Looking at this video makes me so mad they only got 15 years for killing someone innocent
So were you exanorate after all ?
I m sorry for.you bro...I m been in prison too I know what it means
@@lucthomas7626 nope thats the sad part about it.
And he got out early
that is the result of crying for equality instead of justice!
Each of these officers, their supervisor and the mayor should all be held accountable, suing them through their police department, their union as well as them selves personally.
If you don't cause harm to them personally and financially nothing is ever going to change.
The same goes for D.A.'s, Judges, and Politicians. They must be accountable to the law of the land.
The police need to add a mental and personality test to their application forms prior to their candidates applying to the police force. It is obvious that there is not enough tests done to prove their candidates abilities to be enforcers of the law. Whawhakia T
He is already free. They released him. Justice is an illusion.
@@kiaclarke3406 I also think a police officer's licence to be an officer should have points like a driver's licence. The moment they exceed the points, they're fired and banned from being a police officer. No appeal. no union. Your done.
Dennis waterman I believe the same thing brother and that judge saying that he don’t want nobody being disrespected their family got disrespected with that scumbag shot that kid over eight times
Well let's see we must obey the laws first right .this is what happens when you raise your kids to disrespect authority
What is wrong with these cops, They need stiffer sentencing life in prison or the death penalty.
Please Not The Death Penalty, it's Too Fast An Ending To His Life, He Needs To Be Locked Away in Solitary Confinement, LIFE IN SOLITARY.
I like what Chauvin's sentence included: life long registry required as a Predatory Offender.
You know gang members dont turn on their brothers
And general population housing.
What is wrong is racism toward blacks (God's chosen people). They are now paying for it. God gave them chance after chance, each day he woke them up in the morning to get it right. Instead, they allowed the devil to be their God.
Should have taken down all the cops that tried to cover this up as well.
The entire legal system of Chicago covered this up, up to and including mayor Rahm Emanuel
@mister Verde
You're not wrong there.

Ain’t that the truth, this judge sounded like he had a hard time taking this delusional cops freedom also. The verdict was longer than the trial...
They say he's 1 good cop covering up for all the bad ones..that makes him a good cop!this will resurrect another Cris Dorner eventually..make these cops pay a price!
He got 11mths per bullet!!
When you commit a crime you should no longer be prosecuted as a police officer you should be prosecuted as a civilian the time does not match with the crime!
Watch the documentary 16 shots. He ended up getting 6 months because the judge changed his mind on the day of sentencing and didn’t charge him per shot! Sad and unfair!
Truth
@@jammaarts4429 wow. Those jurors put their lives on the line coming back with that verdict, an you're sayin all he did was 6 months?? Please say that's not so
LM Mayberry on the documentary that I watched called 16 shots, the judge decided to only give the officer 6 months. The judge wouldn’t count each bullet per charge, but still, 6 months for a life is a joke!!! The documentary is on Netflix.
LM Mayberry also I agree, what is the point of having a jury at all if you’re not going with what they decide.

Sweet Ride doing to much. What if it was your brother.
Francis so we charge everyone in the state? That’s ignorant
Aaron Chagnon that wasn’t my point. My point was that he shouldn’t minimise the repercussions by saying it’s too much because it’s never too much when someone does and it’s less evident when the person isn’t your relative. If you had the decency to say you disagreed rather than calling me ignorant we could have a debate. Good day
@Sweet Ride Life for taking a life is more appropriate. Hopefully he will receive his karma for the next 15 years😊
And you too.
Up to 15, that's not no justice for some one who lost his life, let's try giving him life in prison.
how much time did they give him?
The cheek of him to ask for a jury poll, nó remorse, just cold.
There’s a black man who got 17 years for purse snatching no weapons or violence was used. Then it turned out he didn’t do it but he did all 17 years and was innocent the whole time.
Thomas, had you not felt you needed to point out he was black you would of had a point, but idiots like you have to make everything about race. The real fact is, even a rapist would get more time, and the girl/guy would still be alive.
Watch" the hurricane. Based on a true story of racial profiling, unjust corrupt system. A lot has changed, hasn't it ?
@@jasonbourne1596 well this whole case was about race. And he was just pointing out the disparaging difference in the punishment of a black purse snatcher and a white police officer who shot a black kid walking away from police with his hands out. 16 times. Furthermore, the juror reading out "guilty of aggravated battery" on every shot is ridiculous. After the first shot that put the boy down, every shot after that was racially motivated and should've been nmore than "aggravated battery".
@@jasonbourne1596 hey buddy race dude play a major part sadly but true. Did you hear about the white guy that got off with no jail time for rape and a black guy got prison time for just kissing a white girl after telling a lie she was raped. Ohhhhh yea that white raped a minor that was a black girl.
@seamo9000deBuilder SUPERBEING wait..... who should've been at home??
He didn't just shoot Laquan McDonald 16 times but he also murdered him. It doesn't matter what his background was or because he was a black teenager. That was excessive force.
Do you know what they do to cops in prison? If he is not protected the entire time.... he gonna have some “fun” in a way he never thought possible. That 15 year sentence gonna feel like a life sentence.....he’ll it might just end up being one.
@macrixen the same they do with the weak
Why didnt they use tasers?
It shouldnt matter, but it was more than likely a factor.
They should have giving life in prison without parole he is a scumbag police officer
He only got 7 years and probably will get parole in 2 years. What a joke.
They always get a lesser conviction for killing .
I'm from Alabama and was sentenced to 8 years for distribution of marijuana. This is truly disturbing

ONE COP FIRED 16 SHOTS FROM ONE PISTOL...HMMM...THE OTHER COPS JUST WATCHED, I GUESS. WELL, WHEN THEY SAY STOP, HEY, IM STOPPING.

@@xzqzq definitely not advancing. More so frantic. Cops were in no immediate life threatening danger. Nothing a love tap from one of their cruisers couldn't solve.

That’s the same with every judge , he needs. To be much stern in his speech and attitude when guilty verdict is given
Seeing Laquan’s beautiful family staying silent and graceful, but clearly getting emotional at the verdict broke my heart.
“Everybody has been great, thank you very much. Thank you for coming again.”
What is this? A court house or the Grammys?
Think he knows how serious it was and is just trying to prevent a riot if he got away with. So glad there was a camera
Maybe he just wanted to make the process easier for the jury and relatives and ease the tension in and outside the court, manners cost nothing. The only person who needs to be stressed out is the defendant.
The judge was a joke.
😆😆😆

Hearing those guilty charges makes it seem like he’s getting 85 years in jail, but it ended up being 4 years 🤣

I agree with you,But may I ask ? Have you ever wondered why it takes so long for a conviction from the (DA) office.......... remember in ever city & state in this country the (Police Department) & the (DA) office work together with each other, the police are the ones who brings in the (Cases) for the (DA) to prosecute, So with that being said, do you think that the (DA)s really want to bite the ✋that (FEED) them,& disrupt the relationship that there two departments have with each other, even if the police brake the Law.

I think you missed the point. By NOT finding him guilty the jury is sending a message that this sort of conduct was acceptable to those of the Police hierarchy. It hopefully sends a message to all that such conduct should NEVER be acceptable in any police force. Now you wait for the politicians to react. Then if their reactions are not acceptable.. vote the bums out!!!

Everyone complaining about disrespecting a flag, what about the disrespect showed to the people who go through these horrid situations, who either live to talk about it or don't. Shouldn't the flag mean something for them as well.

WE REALLY NEED TO FIND OUT WHY THAT IS I'M A 67 YEAR OLD BLACK MA THAT GOT PULLED OVER IN A REIDENTIAL AFTER DROPPING A WHITE COWORKER AT HIS. HOUSE . DIDN'T GET OUT OF THE CULTISAC BEFORE 2 OFFICERS PULLED ME OVER AT THAT TIME I WAS 64 YEARS OLD, 160 POUNDS YET THESE OFFICERS WALKED UP TO MY CAR, HANDS ON HOLSTERED WEAPONS AND ID ME. SHOOKED ME. LESSON, AS A BLACK MAN IN THIS COUNTRY, ALL IT TAKES TO DIE , BE AT THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME.
