FILE- In this June 6, 2016 file photo, former DeKalb Police Officer Robert Olsen stands during his arraignment in Decatur, Ga. Jurors have found the former Georgia police officer who fatally shot an unarmed, naked man not guilty of murder. Jurors on Monday, Oct. 14, 2019, found Olsen guilty of the other three crimes. A judge freed Olsen on bond until sentencing on Nov. 1.
Jurors did convict Robert “Chip” Olsen of aggravated assault, violation of oath of office and making a false statement. His wife began sobbing when she heard the verdict. A few days later, on Oct. 5, a jury in southeastern Georgia found a white former police officer who fatally shot a fleeing, unarmed black man not guilty on charges of voluntary and involuntary manslaughter. Jurors found Zechariah Presley guilty of violating his oath of office in the 2018 shooting of Tony Green in coastal Camden County, near the Georgia-Florida state line.
Olsen was told by dispatch there was a naked man who was “possibly demented.” Hill was squatting in a roadway when Olsen arrived but jumped up and ran toward the patrol car, according to testimony from several witnesses.
Nice baiting headline. But not shocked.
quit trying to intentionally rage trigger people with your headlines. You had plenty of characters left to add that he’d been found guilty of other charges!! 😡
PeaceAmendment Fuck trials in criminal courts - let’s just do tribunals until we clean house.
So.....guns DO kill people?
Why is it when someone can’t obey simple police commands and thinks they are above the law, always ends up supposedly being bi-polar? Give me a break
😱
In the United States, if you plan to kill someone but do not want to be responsible, then, please first become the police？
“By the time they reached a verdict, jurors were pretty evenly split — largely along racial lines — between those who wanted to convict Olsen of murder and those who didn’t, with most white jurors wanting to acquit, he said.”
Sounds typical.
clarencehilljr Y’all have to understand he was in Cobb County which is mostly a white county of Georgia. I could have predicted this.
It is the bloody police dictatorship in law, !
Police forces around the country need to find new ways to hire qualified officers. The officer is not the only one guilty, other people hired a person who would shoot a naked man.
HarrisVivian WOW!WOW! REALLY! I hope it's not true!! I can't even Phantom how they thought that was ok for him to go free the man was naked where was his gun They probably gave him a hug too after they found him not guilty! Guess the new Norm is hug a cop when they kill a citizen😔 NO justice
Sifill_LDF This has got to stop.
Not enough. Hang him.
Was he trained in Texas?
clarencehilljr The cop was scared to death!!! I need brave men and women on the police force... not cops who are scared to death!!
Really? What a shock!
Where are the Pro Military activists in all of this? Why are they so silent
Sounds about yt
Sifill_LDF Well of course not, don't be ridiculous.
Disgusting!
Of course he was. 🙄
Not surprised.
KillerCops get away with murder almost on a daily basis! Georgia
Of course shocking
I guess the naked man had a big gun down there that it was a treat to this police officer 🤣🤣
They are the bad guys. Fight back. We can win this war!
“Olsen had limited information about the situation, was scared to death and had only seconds to make a tough decision” Why are you even qualified to be a cop if a naked man scares you to death? SMDH.
Ofcourse, a white cop killing a black peraon is allowed in America......no questions asked.
disgusting
must be nice to be white and be a cop
Of course
They keep killing black folks n getting away with it. It will never stop..
I'm trying to think of a reason this mother fucker shouldnt be murdered and cant.
The comments here underscore why we are lucky to not allow mob rule in this country. You see this same result often because once a jury hears the actual evidence and applies the law, it's very rarely meets the legal definition of murder.
It's pretty straightforward, if you don't want to get shot by the police, listen to and follow their commands.
See I'm about to lose it.
Horrible misleading headline. The cop white, the victim unarmed naked black man, cop was found guilty of other counts just not on actual murder charge. Do better! 👊
It's not just bad cops, it's society. Juries reflect society's attitudes towards justice best and time and again they say some lives are worthless, police reform alone, though sorely needed, won't fix that.
Wow!
This comes as no surprise! If you have a badge you have a license to kill black and brown people almost at will.
Hmmm funny wasn’t there a news story about a white man running naked after he shot a cop?
We really need to get rid of the 'I was scared' defense for cops. If I shoot an unarmed person and say that I did it because I was scared, I'd be on death row before you could say, 'Enjoy hell'.
Nothing the Police seem to do is wrong .
Joke of a system
Come on ☹️👎🏻
Because a naked man is a threat to an armed officer? This is out of control!
ExposeCNN ExposeLiberalLunacy HappyColumbusDay ProudAmerican
What a big bomb that was! In the US you can do what you want if you have contact and money.
How can fatally shooting an unarmed, naked man NOT be murder I guess if you're a cop who is scared to death of unarmed, naked men.
Of course
MeanGirls2u Licensed murder in America! If the police are as scared as they seem perhaps a different career?
I am surprised that didn't put in the headlines that the criminal was African American, they usually do
How the hell does this happen?! And why do we keep allowing it
Shocker
Okay ... so murder is legal in Georgia. Note to self ... do not travel to or across Georgia.
javeauriel Unarmed and naked!!!!! No fucking defense. In-freaking-sane!
The US.
Sifill_LDF How?
NewsRadio930 But guilty of the other charges. Click bait.
American Justice system is a fucking sick joke🤨
He killed a man but was found not guilty of felony murder but was found guilty of aggravated assault. How in the hell is that even possible?
How does one justify shooting a naked person? Literally everything exposed, no way you could say you thought he had a weapon or he was concealing something! Another rogue cop with the God complex gets away with murder? Unbelievable!
Wait. Lemme' guess. He feared for his life because he thought the naked man was packing a ...
NewsRadio930 I don't know the details of this case, but I sense Jurors are saying 'enough of the anti-cop stuff' and standing by cops no matter what.
This is Am-er-ica
WTF. Judge and jury should go to jail along with the murder.
THE ULTIMATE FEDERAL DEPRIVATION OF CIVIL RIGHTS CASE.
The guys penis looked like a gun
Justice has been served..
Sifill_LDF
Awful
Well, he was found guilty of three lesser charges so it's all good, right? ☹
Nettaaaaaaaa No good judge.
Well the victim was black and police White.
Sooo... he was guilty of all this other stuff... but not the act where he took a man’s life?!?!
How many times do we have to see this movie play out. officer(s) kill unarmed person if there’s a trail officer(s) found not guilty family file civil law suit family wins suit roll ending credits and wait for a sequel coming to a city/town near you.
Ridiculous.
But of course he was.
A license to kill by the so called POLICE. When will this nonsense stop? Even Mafias have better principles then these killers. Of cause every society needs the law to protect the public...but when there is a deficit of trust, what do you do then?
OwensEfrem What else is new. Police gang bangers do not get held accountable.
Why are republican-majority states always the most backwards Youd think there would be some study on the correlation between pilitical spectrum and IQ level
The jury thought about it for more than five seconds, which is more than you can say for anyone commenting here
Well I for one am just SHOCKED...
How?
The article says not guilty in the first paragraph and the last one it says it they DID find him guilty and is awaiting sentencing on 11/1. Which is it? At least give us the case number.
ACAB
WTH
Let me guess; Feared for his life 🤔 huh
MSM video
Sifill_LDF WTH
Even people upholding the law should be brought to justice. Is anyone gonna look into the Michigan State Police and the Oakland county sheriff office
Wtf?
What is new 😐
Cause uh.....
What?
Works for me
White Police Officers have immunity from Murder charges it's a fringe benefit of their job.
🤬
More American 'justice'
Summary execution is no crime, I guess.
