Reply to comment by Grostleton in 5 Connecticut police officers charged after Black man left paralyzed following ride in police van by AudibleNod

And 4 of the 5 cops invoked ‘qualified immunity’ meaning the city will pick up the tab & these cops will be able to walk free and retain employment

Maybe, the cops who murdered people on Danziger bridge in New Orleans during Katrina were sentenced for a long time (first 40+ years for most of them) then had their sentence reduced to 10 years for some with time served.

I had no idea that this happened.

How did they end up getting a retrial? It's like saying, "ok, the people don't like you killing innocents trying to survive after a disaster. If we give you another chance, choose the 10 year plea deal. K?"

So infuriating.
