Correction! He was accused of killing a police officer he wasn’t CONVICTED of killing a police officer. What he deserved was a fair trail by a jury of his peers as he is/was guaranteed under the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. The person that killed him and the people that covered it up need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law………

I agree what he allegedly did was wrong. But we shouldn’t be living in a society where people (especially guards), take the law into their own hands.

The fact that people are resistant to speaking sure sounds like a cover-up. I hope they keep the pressure on and get to the bottom of this.

I think what Joe and La Toya are missing is this:

Officer Findley died upholding the rule of law. To conduct vigilante justice, by strangling a suspect in his cell instead of having him convicted by a jury of his peers, cheapens our status as a nation of laws and dishonors the memory of Officer Findley.

Additionally, I find it very depressing that the law enforcement community is closing ranks and witholding information, while at the same time railing against the “no snitches” code of the streets.

I don’t think it’s OK to kill cops, and I’m generally in favor of the death penalty. But the Constitution and the rule of law were at stake, and somebody committed murder to bypass both. Vigilante justice, revenge, and mob rule may get the job done in other parts of the world, but America strives for something better.

I agree with Joe. He killed a police officer because he didn’t want to face the consequences of stealing a car. What’s the most he would have gotten for the theft of a car? Even with his criminal record probably not more than a year in jail. But instead he chose to run over this man and end his life while he was just trying to do his job. I find it amusing that the family keeps insisting that the community is outraged over these events. I live in the DC metropolitan area and I’m not ‘outraged” and I am hard pressed to find any other people who are as the family says ‘outraged’. Yes its sad that yet another young black man is dead, however where was all this family that is coming out of the woodwork and demanding justice when this young man was building his rap sheet? Where was all this family when he needed a support system behind him so he wouldn’t be compelled to turn to life of crime. The black communities lack of family values has created this subculture of young black youth that have no fear. They have no fear of their parents, if they are even around, they have no fear of school administrators, teachers, police officers, jail. The fact that a lot of young black men don’t fear the police or jail only undermines our legal system. Maybe some of these criminals will think twice before they decide to murder a police officer. The one thing I do find outrageous is that this poor excuse for a family will probably win a substantial monetary settlement from the county for the death of this man that likely would have spent the rest of his natural life in jail anyway. Is that justice?
