This is terrible but not unexpected for all the reasons Mr. Phillips states. I'd feel a bit better about it because they're pending sentencing in federal court and facing the potential of 20 years or more in prison for related charges; except now that they've avoided doing time at the state level, Trump can pardon them or commute their sentences. Ugh.
How so very disturbing! I couldn’t believe it that once again with all the video evidence the cops were not punished! And in all the cases you mentioned the victim each time was so outnumbered, disgusting! This is NOT justice!
When I heard the news about the officers being found not guilty of Nichols death, I was shocked, disappointed, and, most of all, angry. Really? Too many whites in this country seem to still be so blinded by their racist roots that they cannot see the truth when it slaps them in the face? For those whites, it is still “us” against them. I could go on, but why? These whites have no shame, much less honor or self respect. The latter is the reason they have so much hatred for minorities as they see their white privilege being stripped away by minorities that are equally smart and willing to work just as hard. When a society repeats the same injustices for more than 200 years, it is obvious that the system is failing. As a white male, I must bear the shame and apologize for the ignorance and sins of white Americans who would do this or allow it to happen.
I used to do court watching in Manhattan and the court officers are by and large minorities (Black & brown) and the overwhelming harm they do is beyond. The same is true about the NYPD. I could never understand harming your own community, but they do.

Won't be surprised if the Felon doesn't pardon them, although they are black, so maybe not.
I would totally expect Trump to pardon them. All upside:
- He shows support for cops, a core part of his base;
- They’re BLACK cops, so he can show he’s not racist.

Steven Miller's dreams are coming true, the Psycho.
These stories show the ugliness of mankind even in the important role of police. I still don't understand how juries find bad actions permissible.
