The important thing is that these two assholes, I mean public servants, got home safely that night and that no cop will ever have to fear being punished for their thuggish behavior.

I'm sure the prosecutors exerted their maximum effort to get a conviction.

My cynicism is turning into realism. I suspected this might happen but I could not bring myself to really believe it would turn out this way.

There is no justice here.

I am ashamed to live on the same planet as those fucking jurors.
