<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jonny oneal, post: 2421678, member: 70367&quot;]ever been to Ferguson, MO, just to start a list. in tulsa, a &#039;reserve&#039; deputy shot a black man on the ground with his service weapon, a .45 S&amp;W I believe, thinking it was his taser. he was only charged with negligent homicide, that carries 2-4 years, rather than first degree or second degree murder. i think second degree would have been correct, given that he exhibited a &quot;disregard for human life.&quot; it carries ten years to life. of course, with his friendship to the sheriff, his age (over 70) and race (caucasian), the victim&#039;s record which was not much but enough, the prosecutor chose the homicide charge that would put him in prison but not for very long. due to this case, the sheriff had to resign and was indicted by a grand jury; there was concern among the african-american community as well as informed, other citizens regardless of race, and a man lost his life who should not have. there is definitely a double standard in the country based on wealth and position, the old have/have nots. and this is just the recent past. i have witnessed it for over 35 years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
