We're the Only Ones Feeling No Pain Enough

 An off-duty Houston police officer cleared in a 2011 fatal shooting outside a bar was considered "legally intoxicated" by his department when he opened fire on two unarmed men ... But the conclusions in the report ... were never presented to the grand jury that cleared Coronado because courts have ruled that internal police investigations cannot be used against officers in criminal cases. [More]
So what options for justice are left ...?

And if you or I was legally intoxicated and shot two passersby, what would happen to one of us? Would we be cleared because the Plumbers Union went to bat for us?
