Mental disabilities or no mental, he killed an innocent. His own life, then, must be forfeit. 4 years isn't even a slap on the wrist :(

Four years for clubbing a mentally disabled man to death? Pigs sure get off easy in America.

Guys you could find 100 cops in this country who have killed a man and I'm sure that together their sentences wouldn't add up to 4 years. I'm actually surprised that the pig got any time at all.

Yeah that is reality in America for you, police can get out of trouble just for their position, hell they can run a red light or speed and run into someone and they will get off scott free.

Such things happen in many other countries though, and the sentences ( if it comes to that in the first place ) are even milder.
