Damn, the system worked

[Quantum Windbag]

Nice to see something finally working the way it should, and a cop who shoots an innocent man actually getting charged.

A Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer who was involved in the fatal shooting of an unarmed man early Saturday has been charged with voluntary manslaughter and is in custody, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police Chief Rodney Monroe said Saturday night.
The victim had apparently wrecked his vehicle early Saturday and sought help at a nearby residence before encountering the police.
He was identified as Jonathan A. Ferrell, 24, who recently moved to Charlotte from Florida. Officer Randall Kerrick, 27, is in custody; the Midland resident had joined the force in April 2011.
The police investigation found “the shooting of Mr. Ferrell was excessive,” authorities said in a statement late Saturday. “Our investigation has shown that Officer Kerrick did not have a lawful right to discharge his weapon during this encounter.”
