William Grigg on "Rogue" Cops

This is good.
That this was a gang-involved murder is indisputable. With all proper respect to Ron Thomas, however, the grieving father is desperately wrong about one detail: The murderers were not “rogue officers.” Once the gang assault on Kelly began, practically the only thing that could have saved his life would have been the timely intervention of a rogue officer.

The sad matter is that these ever escaliting murders and assaults by the police exist and are escalating because, by and large, they can get away with it. They know that individually and collectively little or nothing will be done to them when they kill people. 99% of the time they won't even be questioned. At worst a department might lose a civil suit which gets paid by the the tax payers, not the department or officers.

They are not held accountable legally or proffisionally, and society will no longer take up arms against them personally.
