punishment was way overboard as they stated in the news article that was done so the community would have faith in the system.
I just spent the last few days dealing with a cop that wanted to have my business partner brought up on charges for "false statements" and impeding an investigation. What brought that on? My partner gave the cop an old business card that had the wrong phone number. This was also involving a civil matter, not criminal. He also lied about what he said when I was discussing this with his SGT. I was truly pissed that he was not man enough to admit he had made a mistake in front of his superior when he had already said it to me. Also, some friends of mine knew this cop and described him as a good guy. Bahh. You wear the badge long enough and the power and lies go to your head.Zeus said:Yes I believe we are talking about the same incident. I never said he shouldn't be punished but 1.5 yrs? Really? A guy spends his life serving his country and community, has PTSD, his wife just left him and he succoms to the stress of dealing with the scum of society in Milwaukee (in case you haven't been there it's a total shithole) and wrongfully I admit, assaults a repeat offender drunk driver who won't comply with instructions to quit damaging taxpayer property because he has to go to the bathroom. Did I miss anything? So the first time he does anything wrong, didn't shoot anyone or permanently injure anyone, but hits a drunk (let's face it, handcuffed or not a drunk isn't going to affectively defend themself anyway) we throw him in prison make him a felon for life and potentially may be killed in the general population by "real" criminals he took off the street to make people like us safer. Why the FK would anyone, EVER become a police officer?
