Members of the People's Justice Campaign and some city leaders say the grand jury failed to bring justice Friday. They want all five officers to be indicted on murder, attempted murder and conspiracy charges. “Two little girls lost a father, and let's not forget that while we get into all this other stuff,” said Brooklyn City Councilman Charles Barron. “The family is in pain and to come back with three indictments on five officers with no murder charges and no criminally negligent homicide charges is a travesty and injustice.” “Three out of five is not good enough. We want all five,” said Orlando Green of the People’s Justice Campaign. “This is a protractive struggle. It's not going to be won at one rally. It's not going to be lost because of one rally either. We still have a long way to go.” Detective Marc Cooper is being charged with reckless endangerment. Detectives Michael Oliver and Gescard Isnora face second degree manslaughter charges. Their indictments are expected to be formally unsealed Monday. |
