If you needed more proof that it’s virtually impossible to convict killer cops in this country, here it is:
“In March 2012, 22-year-old Rekia Boyd was walking to a store with three friends near Douglas Park. Prosecutors said that Servin, who was off-duty, was upset over the noise and told the group to quiet down. After exchanging words, Servin fired five shots over his shoulder while sitting in his car. Boyd was hit in the head from behind and killed …. The group of four had their backs turned to Servin in an alley. Servin was charged with reckless conduct and reckless discharge of a firearm.” Yesterday, a judge dismissed all charges against Servin.
Yesterday, a Washington State man who did exactly the same thing, but isn’t a cop, got a 91-year sentence.
