Oh, I'll state and stand behind my bend in this case -- those officers killed that man in cold blood and are free to return to their lives and families. It's unconscionable. They should be locked up and made to pay for their crime just like anyone else who did what they did (but didn't have a badge to protect them). And worse, it doesn't send a signal of support or comfort to the society around them that are supposed to trust them and put their lives in their hands, nor does it give a lesson to other members of the force that actions like this won't just be swept under the rug. When citizens carry fear or mistrust of the police, it is because of incidents like this. So call them whatever you want, a p.r. campaign won't erase the appalling injustice in this (and similar) cases.
