Only one cop was punished. His sentence was losing 60 paid vacation days, probably 2 years without vacation at his seniority.
The panel that sentenced him admits his behaviour was heinous, but gave him such a slap on the wrist.
He argued in court that what he did was fair and it's unreasonable to expect him to have done better.
The people who were arrested and forced to stand outside in the rain without food or water for hours won a 16 million dollar class action settlement and had their records expunged. But it took nearly a decade because the police was trying to weasel out of it. A decade with a wrongful criminal record sets you back more than 16k/person.

Honestly, we should start asking what the fuck is wrong with the judges, too.
and let's not forget the politicians that blithely let the system continue as-is
