Every jurisdiction needs an independent civilian review board with full investigative powers to look into possible crimes and misconduct by police. The board should also have an independent prosecutor for cases where they find reasonable cause to believe a crime was committed.

I have no problem with this....as I am sure there was police malfeasance involved in this....but according to some on this thread all the cops are guilty and should be hanged immediately...you see some people on this site don't like having their stash confiscated!!!

Mostly I see people who don’t like it when cops act like thugs and other cops cover for the bad actors.

The us vs them mentality of far too many cops has spread to the general public and that is bad for society. Good cops need to turn on the bad ones before things get worse.

Without looking back to make sure, I believe the animus is directed to the six who were on scene, the one who witnessed the beating action from a desk (via cam) and the chief.

All six on scene are pretty easily guilty of manslaughter, since, from the moment the accused submits, law enforcement is to bring the accused to a safe place.

I wouldn't hang 'em; but they'd be sentenced to the maximum for manslaughter; and they'd be felons. The public can reasonably expect BETTER behavior from law enforcement, than from the general public.
