The genesis of the horrific debacle was nothing more than a car backfiring. One cop mistook this for a gunshot and all hell broke loose. No weapons were recovered from the vehicle.

2 crack heads with rap sheats a mile long on a police chase for 20 miles endangering hundreds of bystanders, reaching speeds over 100mph . . . that isn't the reason though, they were shot for attempting to run over officers, and because it was believed that the backfire was these dangerous thugs shooting at them during the chase.

All told, it is an injustice that these white officers were punished more than the black officers, you must have the appearance of equal treatment for them. Better yet, there really was no reason to punish them in the first place, but this is Cleveland and they were white.
