Donald Trump should pardon D.C. police officers Terence Sutton and Andrew Zabavsky

D.C. police officers Terence Sutton and Andrew Zabavsky should be pardoned on day one .

They were convicted of second -degree murder for killing gang member Karon Hylton-Brown , who died trying to escape police.

A pardon would send the message that the incoming Trump administration backs the blue.

Our nation’s capital is rife with gangs, carjackings, and shootings.

The criminal justice system is so backlogged that trials for murders and rapes are often delayed for years .

The only people who benefit are publicity-seeking prosecutors who want fame for their roles as progressive prosecutors.
