Another cop found not guilty for murdering an innocent man...again

This is particularly enraging, even moreso because there's barely any news coverage of it.

A Maricopa County jury on Thursdayfound former Mesa police Officer Philip "Mitch" Brailsford not guilty of second-degree murder charges in the 2016 shooting of an unarmed Texas man who was on his knees begging for his life.

Jurors deliberated for less than six hours over two days, finishing Thursday afternoon. The eight-member jury also found Brailsford not guilty of the lesser charge of reckless manslaughter.

Even worse is the actual video showing the shooting. It's a fucking EXECUTION.
