Mike Gomez shares Costales' skepticism. "There's gonna be nothing but some new training for the cops," he said. "There's no accountability and there won't be any indictments. We've gotta show them that they might go to court if they kill. Right now their badge is a license to kill and they know it."
After three years of struggling in vain for a taste of justice, Gomez suddenly finds himself battling against hopelessness. "Sometimes I just want to walk away," he said. "I can only do so many years of this stuff."
