As long as we tighten up the rules for offenders.
EDIT: I now noticed that the link provided claims the officers did not wake the criminal in the car but the video clearly shows his hands moving within the car.

Not sure what link you're referring to, but from context I think you're talking about Willie McCoy, who was not mentioned in either the comment you're responding to or in OP's article.

He was a criminal? What crime did he commit, and when was he convicted?

Do you not move around when you sleep? I thought most normal people do.
An officer can have a number of reasons to stops someone, and probable cause or observation of the crime are both reasons.
There is also difference between having committed a criminal act and being convicted for it.
I'm not saying this to be belligerent, but because I want to better understand your perspective. I truly do not understand how you could feel that trying to curb police corruption and letting them get away with murder is a smaller problem than trying to go after more regular criminals (who are being pursued by the corrupt cops and justice system). What do you think is the hierarchy of issues and how should we approach these problems?
Or to put it another way, how do you plan to enforce the law when the enforcers are criminals?
