Good.

Although if IIRC, there were six cops involved in the beating.

This is one that haunts me, that poor man screaming and crying out for his father to help him.

Police state torture of the innocent and helpless. As despicable as partial birth abortion.

Apparently, there were 6 cops at the scene.

Being a cop can be a tough, demanding job. However, based on the prosecutor’s charges, it appears four of the cops stood by and took no action while two cops performed acts in their presence that resulted in murder and manslaughter charges.

Lets assume the two are found guilty. Police practices in the future almost certainly would be different if those four were to also pay a price for their inaction.

Yes, you're correct.

I'm wondering why all six weren't charged equally under accomplice liability laws.

Or, is this yet another instance where some of the animals in the barnyard are more equal than others? </rhetorical>
