I wish it were true that the corrupt police officer who killed a man by shooting him in the back will suffer the consequences of his actions ... the truth is that no one in power cares about the death of this man. This cowardly police officer will not lose a nights sleep over this and if anything will sleep better knowing that he is above the law. This thug with a badge will most likely fantasize with masterbatorial pleasure as he relieves the thrill he felt from shooting an unarmed man in the back ... over and over and over and over again. If anyone knows this officers name, please do the world a favor and post it on the Internet so we can tell him to his face what a pig he is.

Thanks for the update Drew. I had noted this on the local news area of the main CNN website, typing in New Orleans. How could the DA have violated the rules? Was this the previous DA who was under investigation and I think was replaced? I'm sure there are very dedicated police officers on the New Orleans force, but how can they, or do they, justify fellow officers shooting this man seven times in the back? With the previous charges dropped, are there concerns for the eyewitness? Is this a continuation of the reputation of corruption in local government? It's really tragic that the federal government reponse has indeed been very little, very late, and it's been a repeated theme. I'm trying to understand why. Is it because of racial issues, because votes in New Orleans aren't important for the federal government, because the federal government is wary of corruption in LA.....? Sorry for so many questions, and there may be no clear answers.

The coward that killed this disabled man will have his whole life to suffer the consequences of his actions. Putting him to sleep would be to good for him. Vengence is the Lord's

I would like to say that the political corruption in this country is unbelieveable, but the reality is, it is just business as usual.

Well justice for Ronald Madison is better late than never. That is if they will actually do anything to the policemen. My guess is that they won't...they haven't so far and they always protect their own.

Cindy...Ga.

Just goes to show that not everyone has a voice in our country, and it could not be any more obvious that some people seem to think they are above the law. News flash, you aren't. I hope these men are found guilty and put away. That is the least they deserve for what they OBVIOUSLY did. There are just too many holes in the system. Damn shame.
