To me, this epitomizes why the "few bad apples / isolated incident" line is such BS. Video clearly shows the cops brutally murdering an innocent man. Other cops try to cover it up, and the DA refuses to prosecute. So the feds have to get involved, and even then they only manage to get one of the murderers, and then only for four years. If I beat someone to death because I thought (wrongly) that they had committed a crime, you think the local DA would refuse to prosecute? If I got convicted of it, you think I'd get four years?
Cops are the enemy.

Been following that case for years here.
While I don't actually live in Spokane, I do work there.
"Disappointed?" That's probably the most leveraged euphemism ever.
I am "disappointed" in the same way that phosphorous becomes "a little warm" on contact with water.
"Justice?" Well, there's another slightly oblique appellation. But, hey, we're all in favor of justice, right?

Justice would be the death penalty. (Title 18, U.S.C, Section 242) You might be right if they put him in general lock-up.

Hoping "that justice will eventually prevail :angel:" is merely asking that another senseless crime be committed.
stay safe.

Strictly speaking, skid, I don't think it would be senseless.

They have nobody to blame but their own selves when folks stop supporting them or looking at them as just another criminal gang.

The public became so disillusioned with the police officials and the mayor locally that the mayor lost the next election, and the new mayor actually had to go shopping out of state for a new police chief.
Not one of the members of the extant police force was ever going to be acceptable to the public as a chief.
