NYP: Cop found not guilty in fatal shooting of mentally ill woman
Not all cops are like this, but these abuses need to be corrected and there is only one way to accomplish this. Defund the state and privatize everything -- including public safety.

Looks like a government court and judge let a government LEO (i.e., co-worker) not answer for his actions. This cop (Sgt. Hugh Barry) needs to lose his badge and his gun. There is no restitution that can bring back the victim Deborah Danner Richard Harbus or make whole her family.
