6:37Now PlayingPennsylvania police officer Lisa Mearkle shot an unarmed man in the back. His name was David Kassick. She killed him. She was recently cleared of murder charges. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"A Pennsylvania jury on Thursday acquitted police officer Lisa Mearkle ofmurder charges in the Feb. 2 shooting of David Kassick, an unarmed white man — one of just five fatal police shootings of the 834 to date this year that have resulted in charges.
“I never wanted to shoot anybody,” the acquitted Hummelstown police officertold local reporters as she exited the courthouse, later adding that she plans to resume her job with the department.
The shooting happened after Mearkle attempted a traffic stop because the vehicle being driven by Kassick had an expired inspection sticker. He drove off, later pulling into his sister’s driveway and then got out of the car and attempted to run away. Police say that’s when Mearkle fired her stun gun at him, and he fell face first into the snow. The officer then deployed her stun gun once more before firing two bullets into Kassick’s back.”*
