Re: 2005-2015: 54 LEO's prosecuted for deaths. Some convicte

After reading the article, I am surprised that there aren't more convictions and surprised at the light sentences for the ones who are convicted.

If anyone else had committed these crimes they'd be facing 20yrs to life if not the death sentence.

Example:
Officer: Gregg Junnier
Department: Atlanta Police Department (Georgia)
Outcome: Convicted
Junnier and another officer shot and killed 92-year-old Kathryn Johnson in an attempted 2006 drug raid at her Atlanta home. As the two narcotics enforcement officers tried to enter her front door, Johnson fired a warning shot. The officers began shooting, firing 39 times total and striking Johnson repeatedly. The drug raid was based on information that the officers knew to be false, records show. Junnier was convicted of felony voluntary manslaughter and a federal civil rights violation and was sentenced to six years in federal prison. He was released in 2013. “This case was all about cops lying about probable cause to get a search warrant and then they made a double mistake and shot an innocent woman,” Junnier’s attorney, Wilmer Parker, told The Post. “As I told the court, he deeply regretted his actions.” Junnier declined to comment.

Gunning down a 92yr old lady after knowing executing a warrant on the wrong house! :reddevil That's just blatant evil abuse of power.
