"Csehy conceded his client may have made mistakes, but he said Junnier didn't commit murder. "There was no malfeasance here. It was sloppy police work," Csehy said. "It was cutting corners.""

Ok so we citizens are also free to take out errant, or not, cops at will maybe they are ugly or such. Gave us a ticket we did not like, we will not be committing a crime, just "Cutting Corners"!

"Junnier later told federal investigators that officers had lied to a magistrate judge about sending a confidential informant to Johnston's house to purchase drugs in order to get the warrant.

And, if the warrant to enter Johnston's home was based on deceit, all actions that occurred after police broke down the door could be considered criminal, legal experts said."

Farkin A-men! CRIMINAL!

"Atlanta police Sgt. Scott Kreher, president of the International Brotherhood of Police Officers, called reports that prosecutors would seek indictments against the officers "sad.""

When do they think it's sad to put a criminal in jail, behind bars, or better yet kill them in their own home?

""The family of Kathryn Johnston is extremely unhappy and disappointed with today's turn of events. Mr. Howard's move today of pressing charges would effectively limit the scope of and the potential charges of a federal investigation, and borders on tampering with a federal investigation.""

So the local DA is attempting to Nifong the feds as well?

Can somebody say FLUSH this toilet as well?

I'm sure this type of drug war corruption was pretty widespread before Bush took office. But with Bush sending CIA agents around the world to secretly kidnap and "disappear" whoever they damn well please, ignoring the Geneva convention, habeas corpus, the 4th amendment, and any law he deems is inconvenient, it pretty much sets the tone that leo's should do their job with whatever means necessary.
