It's long been my belief that if you're innocent, you want a court martial. If you're guilty...you want a civil trial, complete with a defense team willing to dance around the issue, spin the truth, and cloud the facts with smoke and mirrors. The court martial is designed to get to the truth...period.
At the very least the officers should be "court-martialed" by a police review
