The 4 Police Officers were fired immediately it was just you know as soon as it was over that they were fighting we did it. Every single commentator in the United States condemn this i mean even the most right wing commentators the the pro police crowd the sean hannity Rush Limbaugh or judge Jeanine Pirro they all condemned so there was no attempt to say oh you know this was this is understandable reaction on the part of these now if you contrast that with what happened 3 years ago same city in minneapolis when a Young Australian woman white australian woman who was shot dead by a black Police Officer the black Police Officer was apparently threatened by a woman in her night gown and he shot her debt.
