Why is this so shocking to people. We've been telling you of this type of behavior for decades. Even through our music, we've been telling so-called society that these rats have been coming in our community preying on us only to be told that we're playing the victim card again. I'm not anti police, I'm anti Thug with a badge. And for those Officers who know of these thugs in their ranks and do nothing, you are just as guilty.

@Keyboard Warrior That's stupid. I really dislike cops. I have personal reasons to. But I know there are some that run into that school under fire. There are some that will pull over and help you change a tire. They are just in the minority.

[@christyg3013]

2:36 wait a minute here. Let's not get crazy. If the "suspects" are found guilty of a crime, they need to pay for that crime. The victim of their crime (again, if found guilty) deserves justice regardless of what crime was done to the perpetrator. If a person kills someone and the murderer is then shot by another party, the murderer is still a murderer. These cops need to be accountable, and the "suspects/ victims" should receive justice.

I agreed with the lawyer all the way up until she said the case should be dismissed. Based on racism. If they are murder suspects. They need to be completely investigated and held till we know whats going on. Safety should come first. Even if racism is present. Which is wrong. Racism should not be a reason to dismiss the case. These 4 men should be proven innocent. If not. Keep them in jail.

I challenge ANYONE so shocked, to do a community “ride along” with your local police officer on a Friday or Saturday night, but do maybe three, just in case you get a slow night - I almost guarantee you will have a changed outlook. These officers deal with the scum of the earth, no one calls the cops for good things only when crap is going in. Fact!
