The cop went to a minimum security jail about 6 years after the fact, i beleive he was sentenced to 1 year. Makes sense now doesn't it? While he was awaiting his trial he was still getting paid........

The cops get away with what they want, when they want. The cops carry mace and a taser gun which can bring an unwilling criminal to his kness, yet they decide that the baton is a more reasonable tool to subdue someone?

I get the point, maybe because you have grown up around the law enforcement you are blind to the reality. Sure there are good cops, but i really don't understand how a cop caught beating on someone can justify a suspension WITH PAY. They are suppose to have the citizens respect, cases like this diminish that respect in a hurry.
