This absolutely must happen in every state. Police need to be held accountable

In his 20 year career, he killed 3 people, all in a similar way. He's a serial murderer.

Its about time, no one should be able to get away with murder!

The police officer shot a person in the abdomen! The officer then shot the person in the head! The second shot was murder! You tell me what would happen to a civilian if they did this?

I hope the police Union looses against the DOJ every step of the way

If you fear accountability, you are not the good guys.

This verdict is called INTEGRITY, he is/was a Psychotic Serial Killer wearing a badge.

Hopefully the family gets true justice and this murdererer get a long prison sentence.

One small step for "we the people" and about damn time.

Finally accountability

Needs to be the law of the land in the US. Will make cops more accountable for their actions and show the people that the standards they claim are now backed by law if they are wrong. Won't effect the crime rate on the streets no different than a patrol. Car parked on every block..crooks do what crooks do no matter what, this just stops the crooks more in uniform than out of one. Good call citizens on this verdict.

Congratulations Mr Taylor. Finally we see justice although you shouldn't have had to fight to get it. May Jesse now rest in peace

I wonder how officers in the police force are feeling about this judgment. They're probably crying because they're feeling picked on more than ever, but of course, they do no wrong, right?.... I could be horribly horribly wrong on that last comment. But i'm sure you guys are correct me

Good job Jury

Next step: remove Qualified Immunity

I WONDER HOW MANY FRIENDS THIS FUZZ IS GOING TO MAKE IN THE BIG HOUSE. AHAHAHA AHAHAHA LOL

Cops don't become psychopaths, psychopaths become cops!

Let me ask you something and really think about this... Law enforcement is a JOB, would you as part of your job murder another human being just because "he was disturbing the peace"?. You would be surprised on how many confrontations can be avoided or defused just by TALKING.

Held these cops accountable for breaking the law no ☝🏼 one is above the law

this gestapo agent was found guilty in a court of law , BUT his union will get the conviction overturned and he will be released, given his job back with backpay , a raise ,a promotion and will now be training rookies on how to deal with the public and he will receive a special commendation for all his great community work.

I agree, this is what justice looks like and as community members we need to demand more of it. Good on this man and his supporters for rising up for the victims.

He murdered 3 people before he was FINALLY held accountable.

NO POLICE encounter ever benefits the taxpayer! Taxpayers want peace, safety, and security, to grow old without seeing, hearing, or meeting the enemy! - USMC (Semper Fidelis) SGT E-5 (5811)

Hold Tyrants accountable

It needs to be incorporated in all the states accountability laws

He will probably serve 180 days in county jail 😂

Police departments everywhere: Accountability for thee but not for me.

Thank you for changing the law its a start for all to get their voice for change sorry for your loss God bless you and your family but you got law change

It seems that a lot of people have forgotten what federal laws are. Title 18 Code 242 makes it a crime punishable by death penalty if anyone acting under the color of law or authority murders anyone, it doesn't matter if the were "on the job" or not.

I've always felt safe in my little neighborhood...until the cop recently moved in next door. Now I hate stepping out my door for any reason.

was that cops 3rd head shot.

No one or anyone shouldn't be above the law. But the Supreme court Has Amnesia.

Training schools teach the new recruits not the law, but that they are protected by qualified immunity along with judicial immunity for judges and prosecutorial immunity for prosecutors. Abolish Qualified/Judicial/Prosecutorial Immunity. Certification needs to be revoked as well.

For everybody wondering disorderly conduct is a contempt of cop charge usually usually flies in the face of the Constitution

Eight years is hardly real accountability. Nelson should have been put in prison immediately - just like any of us would have been.

Condolences to the families of people unjustly killed by police.

I am so sorry for him and his family.

Police accountability, thats a rare case right here. why we have so many Psycho cops on payroll.

That man loves his brother with an undying love ❤

Officers are not above the law while on or off the job. They are like any ordinary private citizen, subject to the law

8 years...the system didn't work. GOD made the change....one word has been holding back justice.

🙏 Amen brother thank you

What are mind-blowing concept, more accountability for those with more authority.

You did hard work 😢❤

Great reporting

The look on the other paid extortionists faces! 🤣

Hate crime. R.I.P. sir

SO PROUD OF THIS MAN

The police officers that are involved in this don’t realize it, but the best outcome can be that they get charged and convicted if they’re guilty because the alternative is not something they would want to deal with. There are people out there that won’t stand for this regardless of what the law is.. We have a second amendment for a reason.

The fact that states are having to pass these laws when federal laws already exist is baffling. Just further proof every federal prosecutor should be charged with title 18 § 242 violations, and only given the maximum penalty upon conviction 🤷‍♂️

Great, help end Qualified Immunity, this is a step in the right direction.

The problem is that the law should work 100% of the time. Would you board a plane in which it doesn't work as much as law enforcement fails to work? Hell no right.

Accountability is the greatest problem with law enforcement.

This doesn't make any sense! Why did this man have to fight for justice for his brother? When the Law should have stepped in and did it for him! This should be done throughout the United States. When a Policeman is sworn in as a Police Officer, they take an oath to Protect and Serve the citizens of that County, City and State! And it always end with "SO HELP ME GOD" If you're EVIL, you might as well forget about the "SO HELP ME GOD"! God does not help EVIL, CORRUPT, LYING people, that's for damn sure! Why don't "THE POLICE" know this? Are they being trained properly? Are they given the tools they need to do their job properly? It's just like any other job. If you're a plumber and you don't have the proper tools to perform the job you're task with, how are you gonna complete that job you were sent to do? You're not, you're not only gonna fail at the job, you're gonna make things worse if you try to do the job without the proper tools in the first place! Therefore causing the person who hired you anguish! Now this person has to call someone else to redo the job that someone without the proper tools tried to do and made matters worse! Do you see what I'm getting at? If these Officer's are given the proper tools to do the job they are asked to do, then there will be none of this shady business and unnecessary killings going on! If you ask me, it starts at the TOP! Maybe the person who is in charge is unqualified to be in that position! Maybe the person who is in charge doesn't have the proper tools to do the job he's asked to do! That's what it look like with ALL of these unnecessary killings by Police Officer's that are happening today! It's not just Police Officer's, it's ANYONE who doesn't have the proper tools to do the job they were hired to do, will fail! This is not hearsay. It's a FACT. I'm not trying to preach to ya. I'm telling you what God loves and that's the truth.

Abolish qualified amunity for every police department in the US."Then were heading in the right direction!🤬👍

Yall smell them pork chops cookin? 😂😂😂

So many more

This is just about justice.

How much time did he get 2 weeks off with pay and a raise

There is a long road of appeals ahead. A position for a new officer has already opened in a neighboring community. Are you going to deny this man work while this drawn-out process takes place?

RIDDLE ME THIS...Why is it that there's NEVER any comments from "police officers" endorsing fellow "officers" accountability?😮😮😮

Verdict will be set aside & the loser will be re-hired.

I am GLAD & HAPPY that a law is created to actually provide justice to individuals that had been victimized by police malice behavior they must be held for accountable

ABOUT F-ING TIME. Cops are disgusting!

Left only audio

Stop making new laws and end qualified immunity for police, lawyers and judges!

hey komo news every news agency can become the world leading international most popular new station through the internet. the people want an end to qualified immunity and accountability of government officials to combat the rampant corruption plaguing our nation. so give your reporters and investigators a real job to do again and give the people what they want.

Don't preach to me about accountability *unless you are also willing to hold yourself accountable.*

hundreds & hundreds & hundreds of laws ........ but we forgot THIS one ??

It won’t last. The police unions will find a way to get around them.

Hope this law helps so many families, still can’t watch the video of Philando Castile

I'm not confident he'll receive an adequate sentence for his crimes, but, we'll see once we see the sentencing.

It's a start and maybe "qualified immunity" would be the next

I’m surprised he was found guilty. I really am. Wow.

Hell yeah about damm time !

Why only one use the left speaker?

This is why I quit being a police officer in Arizona, no one stands up especially for wrong officers, used that money to open my own business in az skyline king LLC

Need this in Texas.

Enjoy jail!

KOMO NEWS, why are you deleting comment?

Shock & Amazement. Way to Go Seattle!

Great news !

No justice NO PEACE

America stop voting your rights away .

1 in 8 years????

What would have happened if he didn't fight the cop and complied?

Malpractice insurance!

I hope he gets a D sentence behind bars.

This is a start. Cops need to lose their qualified immunity. They can get away with breaking the law and not be held accountable because of qualified immunity. QI means that if a cop breaks the law and is taken to court even if he/she is found guilty they don't have to pay the fine or judgement. The government has to pay because of QI. Why should cops get a benefit like that if the public doesn't. QI was not enabled by congress so the public didn't have a say in it. QI was dreamed up in a court of law. for the benefit of cops. That makes it illegal.

Right on💯🇯🇲✊🏾

HOW MANY YEARS DID THIS SCAM COP GET IN JAIL????????????WILL SOMEONE PLS TELL ME,,

He's going to get futt bucked in prison, alot!

Great news for "we the people"

The problem is police are not held accountable and they make rules and laws well if they're held accountable no one wants to be a police officer if they're going to go to prison I don't know about y'all where I work at if you make the mistake you will be terminated I think they should be a certain amount of immunity but it should depend on the situation they need to get rid of this malarkey I was in fear for my life officer safety well in your line of business something might happen where I work at we have concerns about safety too and when you say something they'll tell you go work somewhere else

The law works, unless you're not a cop, then you just walk out of jail free to commit more crimes. Upside down clown world.

Have to have accountability 🙂

JUSTICE FOR ALLLLLL 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

I dont buy it.....

I'm a lifelong resident of the Puget Sound area and Washington State has needed a law like this for some time. But. It is going to be difficult to balance the realities of policing with the increasing demand for accountability. Keeping this law from becoming political is going to be stone bitch. Don't get me wrong here. I'm ALL for better conduct from police. I don't think there is any circumstance short of an actual firefight that an on-duty police officer should call a member of the public that pays his salary 'motherf****r'. I think that cops who are actually crooked should do extra time in the joint for abuse of authority in addition to their other charges. But I also don't want activist types to use laws like this to 'defund the police' or weaponize the law to support any other radical agenda. And that's gonna be a hard balance to strike.
