The names of accused citizens are always released by the police to the press even before they go to trial. Cops should get no special treatment. Turnabout is fair play.

If it's wrong for this information to be released, then it's wrong for any person's personal information to be released before conviction.

If releasing their information endangers their lives then it's wrong regardless of who they may be.
Why make it easy for cop killers.

So that cops don't continue to be killers themselves. The fear of retribution goes a long way. Hell, it's the entire basis of our judiscial system. We punish criminals, including using capital punishment.

If the courts refuse to fairly prosecute criminal cops, then the fear of vigilantism is the only thing that will keep those criminal cops from continuing to murder. If one criminal cop dies at the hands of a vigilante and that prevents a civilian from being murdered by cops in the future, it's a good trade-off.

We are a nation of laws. You keep touting constitutional rights for criminals and terrorists, but gladly sentence police officers to death without even a trial.
If I thought you really meant it, I would know you need a shrink.

it's absolutely sickening. these people just disgust me, they side with a common thug over a officer of the law despite evidence.

Actually, what I said is that if our government REFUSES to be a nation of laws and properly try criminal cops like they try civilians, then the people have the right to enforce justice themselves. That's what the founding fathers did when they revolted.

Nice try, though, at deliberate misinterpretation.

They do properly try bad cops. Even President Nixon was not immune. And no the masses have NO right to take the law into their own hands.
You take like the ISIS - We will kill infidels because they kill us.

Was a law broken to get the info(public record)?

If not, TFB. It's called Freedom of the Press.

Death Wish: Police officer shooting & killing an unarmed citizen.

Media propagandists: Did FOX report that Iraq had WMD?

Strategist says

No, the system is heavily rigged. The public has to be on the verge of revolting for cops to actually be prosecuted.

Strategist says

He was pardon by his own vice-president. So yes, he was immune.

Tell that to the founding fathers. When oppressed by tyranny, they revolted. The tyranny that we face today is far worse than King George.

The law is answerable to the people, not to politicians. And government that obstructs justice has no right to exist.
