| #3 What I read in the media Insufficient frame of reference. In fact, media errors & exaggeration contributed heavily to the situation. While post-shooting police conduct was indeed damnable, it is unjust to the shootings themselves by 'normal' standards as conditions were FAR from normal. |

| #2 What I read in the media during & shortly after Katrina damned police conduct quite well enough. The case should have been tried in 2006. We all know police in the USA do no wrong, ever. |

| #1 My personal opinion - they are innocent of murder or any other charge that directly covers the killings but are guilty of trying to cover up what happened. The situation was chaotic, then-available information totally inconsistent, stress very high, preparation impossible and previous training absent, and these policemen were among the relatively few who stay on the job. The whole prosecution and trial was political show aimed at placating racial militancy. |
