Could someone make this go away? (5.00 / 1) (#27)

With some luck, the family and friends of the victim will deal with these cops on a "persnal" level and get the justice they so deserve!

I'm sure management here doesn't want to be associated with this sentiment, and I strongly suspect the surviving victims in this case would not either.

I share that sentiment... (none / 0) (#36)

if you want justice in America, you gotta go get it yourself.

Somebody shoots my unarmed brother 30 times I'm getting some justice....and it won't be in a court of law, very little to be found there.

to take your bullet in turn, I guess your sentiment is logically consistent if morally reprehensible.

Morally reprehensible you say? (none / 0) (#43)

Todays acquittal is what is morally reprehensible.

And yes, I'd fully accept the consequences of my actions...be it a bullet or a cell.

If you don't like the comment, fine, but just because someone leaves words as a blog comment doesn't mean the site is "associated with this sentiment."

As to the original poster, maybe the families can win a civil suit against the officers.

over the top comments are routinely removed here, it's SOP.  If the moderators (after seeing the comment) feel this doesn't rise to that level then it does make a statement.

The Police Department still has the opportunity to ruin these officers' careers administratively but any civil action would likely be against the City rather than the officers directly and I doubt they'd suffer direct harm as a result.
