"...The cops are the bad guy no matter what..."
Not true! I have the greatest respect for police officers in NY State. My sister is married to a NYS Trooper who will tell you to avoid driving through NO if at all possible. The same for Arkansas. Both known far and wide for corruption.
I'm not saying there isn't corruption on the NO police dept. All I'm saying is every case has to be taken on a case by case basis.
I'm betting that these officers will end up with no charges filed.
The only one that may get charged is the one who did the punching.
