I appreciate your enthusiasm and upvoted you. However, this is not how most jury members think and assuming the police officers had good legal representation which they seemingly did based on the fact that they were either acquitted of the felony charges or not charged (sorry for repeating)

> Pressley, a Hollywood police officer for 22 years, and Francisco were fired in January. So were three other Police Department employees who were at the crash scene: Sgt. Andrew Diaz, Community Service Officer Karim Thomas and crime scene technician Andrea Tomassi, none of whom have been charged in the case.
It is more likely than not that you'd be excused from jury duty by competent defense lawyers acting on behalf of the ex police officers. It is in their interest to put people of a demographic that is likely to put the words of a police officer (or ex-police officer) above the words of a civilian and even above their own words on video tape.
