I agree. I’m sick of dirty, crooked cops sullying the reputation of respectable law enforcement officers with their wantons acts of hate and brutality and only being fired for it.

Those officers are guilty of assault and they should have been prosecuted and incarcerated appropriately. And I don’t care if they would get beaten to death in prison for being ex-cops. If they wanted to keep their guns and badges and stay in charge, they shouldn’t have committed crimes themselves.

You know what? I’m sick to death of cops only getting fired for this kind of crap!
Why weren’t these cops arrested and convicted of assault?
Perhaps Duanna would still be alive if these assholes had been put in prison like anyone else would have been who had committed these crimes caught on tape.

This is awful! I remember seeing the video of the beating and it was disgusting…Miss Duanna Johnson deserved better and I hope they find who killed her.

Wasn’t there a lawsuit filed for the police brutality beating? Investigators better look at the obvious first. I bet that fired cop has something to do with this!

Anyone with common jail knowldage will know.Is as the innmates.They most likely might be killed if they go into any prison.By either an actual gay guy, or just because of there ex status.

Is the message sinking in yet? I’m sure its just a matter of time before some castrated poster starts talking about all the sympathy and compassion we should be showing for the murderer. Get a clue people, this is war and people die in wars. How many candlelight vigils do we have to hold before this finally hits home? Arm yourselves, take self-defense courses because the next life you save might be your own or someone you love.

Oh ya, I agree with the poster who suggested that it was likely the ex piggies who lost their jobs because of police brutality. If so, and in the unlikely situation that justice prevails, the system will eat them alive.

Remember kids, if you don’t pack heat, you’re a chump. Asides, guns are a cool.

I bet the fired police officers were the ones that shot her/him to death for losing their jobs.

“Both officers were eventually fired from the department.”

Only fired! WTF. Shouldn’t they be in prison for a violent assault which amounts to police torture? I am so sick of dirty cops getting off with a slap on wrist.
