        Plea agreements are not binding on a Judge.

        Plea agreements are the agreed fantasy that they are not extortion to plead guilty. The legal system depends on the fantasy being maintained ... or no one would play along. Especially in a high-profile case like this Slager would never have plead guilty.

        It’s horrible that plea agreements are not binding. Some states have mandated agreements be followed unless they violate public policy.

        If this guy didn’t get put in prison, I don’t know who we would put in prison. But still it took too much to get here given the video of evidence tampering and executing the victim in the back. So glad for Walter Scott’s family

        If white people really decided to become aware then they would’ve convicted him. He got a mistrial & has now plead guilty to lesser charge. There’s been filmed evidence of police brutality since 1960s. Any white personal who didn’t think it was bad was ignoring it

        How about I withhold my knee jerk judgment of you based on your words, and you go ahead and read what they've actually said about their reasons? They've written essays. Here is one.https://nyti.ms/2jXXPAi

        So, just to be crystal clear, you claim "they have no idea why they are taking the knee, they are idiots" but you refuse to look at even one essay they wrote explaining their reasoning in detail. Last chance. Knee is chambered.

        You know who knows exactly what they sacrificed when they took a knee? Colin Kaepernick. He did it knowing he was never playing in the NFL again. And gave away 10% of his final contract.
