Those two scum bags are serving a life sentence in a Federal prison for the rest of their pathetic lives, and will hurt no one ever again. Rest in piece officers and thank you for your sacrifice.

Our city (Rochester, NY) lost a fine officer just a few days ago recently Sept 2014. Many feel the terrible pain you all suffered so long ago. And the heartache that remains for a lifetime with such senseless and terrible loss of life. My heart breaks for you all. Your loss of a father, a husband, fellow officer, good neighbor and kind friend I'm sure. RIP Sergeant Colon-Crespo. God bless your family and may you all know and learn of the grace and loving kindness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

If you look at the video tape it shows the officers had no knowledge a crime is being committed. Before the cops enter the perp sees the cops pulling in and asked the cashier if the officers frequent the store, she replied all the time. As soon as the first officer arrives he asks for juice then and only then the cashier signals to the officer the guy is either carrying something or that she's being robbed.
I feel for these officer and their families. May they continue to rest in eternal peace.
Its a tragedy when officers who are there to serve and protect get taken down by thugs just for a couple of bucks .
