    In a just society, he'd be swinging from a tree branch. But 66 months is better than nothing, I guess.

    He got something, so that's good I guess. Why is it that it's such a difficult issue for them to be prosecuted the same way a civilian would for comparable crimes, though? If we lived in a free and just country, it would be handled much differently.

    Helena - You post in the Law & Justice forum often and I applaud your outrage (the second vid I didn't really get - first was disturbing as hell)

    Were or are you a cop or otherwise involved in law enforcement.

    None of my biz, just curious if you'd care to share.

    It would take a lot and reveal too much if I explained the hows and whys about what I know and how I know it. So, while I understand the curiosity behind the question, I will just have to leave it at EVERY CITIZEN, no matter who they are or what their vocation is, should be outraged as hell about what is going on in our system. The laws, the courts, the judges, the lawyers, the cops, the jails, the prisons, all of it. It is disgraceful and abborhent.
    You are wrong about police.

    Some people deserve to be torn apart by an angry mob. It's democracy in action. And I make no apologies for that belief.
