I wish I could say I'm surprised, but I'm not. I wish I could say that the events before the trial, the trial, and the verdicts had diminished the credibility of the NYPD, Bloomberg, the Queens District Attorney, and the New York judiciary. But, none of them had any credibility to start out with.
No reasonable person can honestly justify the verdicts. It's all about racism and corruption. This is one of those times I am ashamed to live in New York.

It was disgraceful. They didn't even get "reckless endangerment." And they got to go up in front of a judge, not a jury - to me, the jury isn't just for the defendant, it is for the people. I don't see why they had the choice to go without a jury.
