What's not in this story is the other, unrelated indictment against the Chief (Nestor) and another Shenandoah cop for extortion and taking money from illegal gambling operations, and imprisoning a man until his family got $2,000 to give to them. Also, according to the feds, there are recorded conversations of the chief threatening a witness in the extortion case, and the other cop involved in the extortion providing drugs to his 20 year old girlfriend.
As to the allegations of the Chief and other cops actions in the illegal immigrant beating case, if they are proved guilty, they should never get out of jail. Such abuses of authority by police officers are among the most heinous imaginable. It doesn't matter if the guy was an illegal immigrant. It also doesn't matter if you believe all the worst things that were alleged about the illegal who was killed (i.e. "dating" the 15 year old sister of the mother of his 3 kids, that he escalated the fight with words, etc.), because it's not about him, it's about the actions of the police officers after the fact.
