    Default 5 NOPD pigs federal charges in lynching

    http://www.wwltv.com/news/Former-cur...-96169354.html
    NEW ORLEANS – A federal grand jury charged two former and three current New Orleans police officers in the death of Henry Glover whose charred remains were found in Algiers inside a burned out car days after Hurricane Katrina, according to U.S. Attorney Jim Letten.

    (Read the indictment.)


    A federal grand jury returned an 11-count indictment against David Warren, Travis McCabe, Dwayne Scheuermann, Greg McRae and Robert Italiano, said Letten outside the federal courthouse.

    Were they found guilty? Because if they are only charged, that doesn't mean they are guilty.

    Maybe you should contribute to their defense fund since you like them so much.

    Ah, right, the guilty until proven guilty approach. Even if they were exonerated, if the evidence did not bear the charges makes no difference to you. You have already decided their guilt, because obviously you were there, or otherwise pose some degree omnipotence. Otherwise, you're just being a presumptuous jackass.

    I'd be more than happy to defend them myself if they wanted. Everyone deserves a good defense and they have a presumption of innocence until they are proven guilty.

    Of course, you seem to disagree. What is it about allowing the Courts decide bothers you?

    He was asking a question to root out more evidence and not because he was giving his opinion one way or the other. But he was correct. Just charging someone doesn't mean that person is actually guilty. Innocent people have been sent up the river before just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time..

    Um, wow, decided to where your big boys pants, did we? You aren't even debating, you are a step shy of forming your own lynch mob, so there's no use having any form of rational debate with you on this. You have decided they are guilty, period, that was my entire point, and you just proved it for me. It isn't about guilt or innocence, it's about vengeance, right or wrong, and they need to burn for you to be happy.

    Right. Merely thinking someone with overwhelming evidence against them is guilt of a crime is so very nearly the same as getting together with all my white friends and hunting down and killing a black person and then setting his body on fire in a stolen car.

    , so there's no use having any form of rational debate with you on this. You have decided they are guilty, period, that was my entire point, and you just proved it for me. It isn't about guilt or innocence, it's about vengeance, right or wrong, and they need to burn for you to be happy.
    So do you believe that OJ did not kill Nicole?

    If there's any evidence that someone other than these cops shot the victim and burned his body in his own vehicle - I'm all ears.

    Yes, you clearly don't need proof to reach your conclusions.

    And no, I've had the opinion that public defenders are underfunded for years. Politicians don't seem to like funding us because they are Constitutionally mandated to but it doesnt benefit them politically. That's why we have worthless pieces of junk for computers and archaic filing systems. It's quite sad actually.

    So you don't even know what evidence there is and you have convicted these men.

    They may very well be guilty, but I'd be rather embarassed to make ridiculous assumptions myself.
