It's always disturbing to discover that our policing agencies prefer brutes over brains.

And that they get a comparative slap on the hand when they break the laws they're supposed to uphold.

I was being sarcastic.
And diplomatic.

Far too lenient a sentence.

Yeah, but on the other hand, he is 45 years old, felony conviction. All he probably knows is being a cop (19 years) with a felony conviction he can't get any job as a cop (nor should he) but also at 45 years old, what type of job could he get with a felony?

The rest of this jerk's life won't be fun at all. But best of all, he will be punished for the rest of his life but won't be supported by tax payer money.

So yeah, I would like to see this jerk in the slam for many years. He clearly violated the public's trust. But, he is hardly getting away with anything.

In my state, felons can't get any public assistance, not even Medicaid.

18 months you say? Maybe Bubba will take a shine to him.

Man - that's just pathetic... Cops "should" be held to a higher standard - meaning - his sentence should be worse than a civilian's for betraying the public trust...
