Glad to hear some murderers are being held accountable.
Just for perspective, I would like to ask a few rhetorical questions. Food for thought, as it were:
What do you suppose are the odds that the only four bad cops in the entire department happened to respond to that bridge that day? And that only the four bad cops in the entire department just happened to be nearby enough to respond, all on the same shift.
And, that the only investigator in the entire department willing to cover up was assigned to investigate?

All five officers were convicted of charges stemming from the cover-up of the shootings. The four who had been charged with civil rights violations in the shootings were convicted on all counts.However, the jury didn't find that Brisette or Faulcon's shootings amounted to murder.
A total of 20 current or former New Orleans police officers were charged last year in a series of federal probes.
Actually, they WERE NOT convicted of murder, they were convicted of violating Citizens Civil Rights and trying to cover up the shooting. There was a total of 20 officers under indictment.
Even though not convicted they are murderers. Sigh, wish they were convicted for that though. ( not meaning to be argumentative, just using your post as a jumping off point for my statement)
I still highly respect LEO's even though there are more than a few dozen corrupted officials. Yes we can look at this and say LEO's are bad and blah blah. BUT that would be thinking the same way as being raciest. I look at these corrupted people as criminals in disguise pretty much and their turn will come sooner or later. It is great relief we have less corrupted officers on the streets, but at the same its hard to think that people who took an oath to protect and serve have turned to corruption.
