The event happened in Jan 2020
Now they review it and charge him

God, I miss being a police officer and an Investigator.

I contemplate trying to go back to it everday. Heck I even filled out a few of 20 page apps. (Which after 16years, I realize is ridiculous)

buT BUT But..
Every time I read this.. I say piss off


One side of me cannot see why anyone wants to do that job....

The word you folks are looking for is; "revenge", r-e-v-e-n-g-e.
And it is not pronounced "ˈjəstəs" (juh·stuhs)...

Just. stop.

“The family of Mubarak Soulemane is very happy that, after 2+ years, Trooper Brian North, who murdered Mubarak in West Haven in January 2020, may be brought to justice,” Mark Arons, a lawyer for Soulemane’s family, said in a statement Tuesday night. “It’s a long road ahead. But this is a good day.”

Your dead relative carjacked someone. The world is better off without him. You don't know the first thing about "justice" otherwise you wouldn't be running your suck.

The NAACP and other groups have protested the shooting. At a memorial service for Soulemane days after his death, the Rev. Al Sharpton said something about the killing didn’t “smell right” and he vowed to fight for answers for the family.

Translation: "There's money to be made, so, here come the race hustlers."

It’s sickening, and regardless the Trooper even when he is acquitted, is ruined, just like Darren Wilson.

They may know what they are doing but they don't know what they are bringing. As an old guy once said "For every undertaking, know what follows." These ass clowns and greed heads are skipping the second part.

Every time I read of an officer getting charged for doing his job, as the suspect or his family plays the ghetto lottery, I know that my stroke was Gods way of keeping me from this bullshit.

Hmm, the Trooper is on Administrative Paid leave. Which means to me that there isn't much of a case to this mob pandering charge. Usually, as soon as an officer is indicted and charged, they are placed on unpaid admin leave or fired. Now it could be that the Troopers' have a very good contract with rights and such laid out.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no...
Remember, Indictment doesn't mean Conviction.

Hopefully, they can keep him on Admin Leave or put him in some place shuffling papers, answering phones... until the outcome of the Trial.
Not Guilty, and he gets his job back (if he wants it)
Guilty... well... he's got other problems.

Hopefully this Trooper has a great attorney on both sides- Criminal and Civil. Hopefully prove some sort of malicious persecution and pandering his criminal case to the b lies m crowd from the IG's office.

Watch the rioting begin when the Trooper gets found "Not Guilty"!

Did y’all read the story? I get that the deceased was a criminal and a carjacker. But the Trooper shot 7 shots through the drivers window when the suspect displayed a knife. How is that justified? Story says that other officers broke the passenger window and tried to use a stun gun. But the guy was still seated in the car. Unless he was lunging at an officer with the knife, I don’t see this as a good shoot.

The suspect committed an armed crime of violence in the carjacking, then aggravated assault on law enforcement when he rammed their cruisers. They got him stopped and clearly the officers decided the pursuit was going to end right there, one way or another. Even after being stopped, boxed in, tazed, and held at gunpoint, the suspect threatened officers with a knife, and was still in control of his vehicle. So what do you do, engage in an empty hand fight with a violent felon with a knife? Or just get back in your cruisers and let him go? In my view the decision to charge that trooper is prosecutorial misconduct. They will never get a conviction and they know it, and that makes the charge the folly of an unethical prosecutor.

This! The suspect was NOT complying, Tazed and yet undeterred, and the vehicle itself is a 'Deadly Weapon'!

Nicely put together. If I was in the accused's seat I'd want you telling the tale.

The crime of violence, the pursuit, and ramming the cruisers- all may EXPLAIN the adrenaline that led to the shooting, but none of that JUSTIFIES the shooting. There were options other than an empty hand fight. Wait him out, smoke him out, call the zoo for a tranquilizer gun. Police officers aren’t justified in shooting suspects because they are not complying. As the facts have been presented, shooting him through a closed window because he presented a knife is NOT a justified shooting.

The facts as presented in the article may be wrong, but that is all we have to go on at this point. If he had been driving toward the officer it would be a different story. But the article says that the chase had ended and his car was boxed in.

I have little sympathy for the scumbag. I am sympathetic to the extreme challenges facing law enforcement officers. But it doesn’t do any good, and can do a lot of harm, if people attempt to justify wrongful behavior because of sympathy.

I hope for the officer’s sake that he is acquitted. But if the facts as presented bear out, he has no business carrying a gun.
