If they are innocent, then let a jury decide it. Not the law enforcement brotherhood "investigating" themselves and....surprise! Finding no wrong doing. 
If that's good enough for you or I (if we did the same thing)...then it should be good enough for cops too. They aren't supposed to be above the law. |
Thing is, in a situation like this exact one (if it plays out like the cops say it did), the problem isn't that the cop *doesn't* go on trial, it's that Average Joe *does* go on trial.
Though I'm talking specifically about this single case, and if it turns out that for once the cops are being truthful. If those turn out to be facts, then neither he, nor Mr. Joe should be arrested etc, rather than both Mr. Joe and he *should* face trial.
Though that'll never happen of course, because so much about the system as we know it is fucked up, not to mention how it's steered people's thinking.
