Your comment displays well the close-minded approach and state of denial that has unfortunately plagued much of Philadelphia when it comes to looking at this case.

So, for you, proof that Mumia did not fall and lose consciousness upon being shot by Faulkner, is: police arrive 30-45 second after the shooting? Some logic here.

Mumia says he came to as police began to viciously beat him, including kicking him in the face upon arrival (police claim that this was a response to Mumia trying to grab his gun, which was allegedly laying next to him on the ground), then "accidentally" smashing his head into a lamp post, and then again "accidentally" dropping him to the ground from several feet in the air. To top this off, after the post-shooting beating, it then took the police over a half hour to get him to the hopsital, leading most objective observers to conclude that police were trying to kill him right then and there.

Upon arrival, Police had made their judgement that Mumia was "guilty" and tried to kill him without the benefit of a fair trial--just as you and others are trying to do right now.

The official narrative of the "Fry Mumia" crowd is that his supporters are all ignorant dupes, which include Amnesty International, Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, the Japanese Diet, and much more. Of course, the truth is that so many prominent people support him because his trial was so obviously UNFAIR.

The big secret here is that the FOP-inspired lynch mob opposes a new trial because they know that via extensive police/DA/judicial misconduct, the case against Mumia has been sabotaged beyond repair. Sabotaged so badly, that a new trial would almost certainly free him.

The corruption of the Philadelphia PD at the time of Mumia's arrest is well known, documented, and many top cops were convicted of corruption. I bet you will deny even this, because you yourself were a cop at that time, and also because most of Mumia's detractors are generally supportive or in denial of this corruption and racist brutality.
