We're the Only Ones Excessive Enough

Judge: Former Yellowstone County deputies used excessive force in deadly stop [More]
Too little to late: "The former deputies were cleared of criminal wrongdoing at a coroner’s inquest..."

You or I would have faced and been convicted on second degree murder (or manslaughter at a minimum) charges, and rightfully so.

  1. "The former deputies said they killed Simpson because they believed he was trying to run them over with the vehicle."

    I could be wrong, been wrong before, but it looked to me like the (now former) deputies started firing AFTER the driver turned to AVOID running into them, and that one of the (now former) deputies fired his shotgun through the windshield AFTER it was obvious he was not about to be 'run over'. Neither one of them even jumped back to avoid being hit.
