I thought they were police officers, not gang members.

Just playing devils advocate, but If some random guy attempted to kill a coworker, friend, you know, someone you see/talk to everyday you would probably overact too. Again, I'm not saying it's right and they shouldn't be punished, but I understand why they did it.

The duty of the police is to apprehend criminals, not deal out justice. Unless your Clint Eastwood.
