My OpiniOn on the Verdict!!!

After the decision of 3 cops being indicted was made on friday March 16th,2007 the verdict came back on that
Monday March 19th,2007 where as two of the cops were charged with mansalughter 1 and 2 but pleaded "not guilty" when charged with it. These cops face up to 25 years in jail... Do i think that is justice... HELL NO. I feel like these cops face the death penalty I honestly do... why you may want to kno... because they shot 50 times and claimed that they were shooting in "good faith" lies! im sorry but nobody shoots 50 times in "good faith" and then have the nerve to say they were not shooting to kill anybody it was a mistake. lets be serious now. those cops were not thinking when they did this and could have been under the influence of alcohol. what i want to kno is why they tested the victims for alcohol and not the cops that makes absolutely no sense what-so-ever... where they trying to hide something? anyways the other cops Marc Cooper was charged with two counts of reckless endangerment and only faces one year in jai or a $1000 fine..... what is going on that is crazy. One Year what is that going to do. that does nothing. that is not justice! and then they are saying that the case might even take up to one year to even go to trail thats bazzare. Honestly i am very unhappy and not satisfied with the verdict of this case. These cops i feel are getting off very easily and then two of the cops are not even being charged at all.
