I would have liked to see harsher penalties for all involved, but a cop getting real prison time for his involvement in killing an innocent person under color of law is encouraging.
-
Perfect is the enemy of good. Maybe these "bad apple" cops I keep hearing about will commit less hate crimes against their community after sentences like these.
-
Why is the rest of that saying not used?
It goes, "One bad apple spoils the bunch."
They're all bad.
-
ACAB, brother.

ACAN, All Cops Are Nazis
-
Both
-
96% of the planet - checks notes - doesn't have american cops running the show.
-
Your cops take First Nations people and leave them barefoot in the snow to die of hypothermia.
All Cops Means All Cops.

Why is the full understanding of that saying not used when completing it fully? You remove bad apples from the bunch so that the rot doesn't spread. They all become bad if you don't do that. Not saying that's the case for cops in any of these digestions, one way or another. But just saying, sayings.
-
Our idiom fluency will have to pull itself up by its own bootstraps one supposes
-
Right wing people are either stupid or dishonest. The stupid ones don't understand the saying and never thought to look it up, and the dishonest ones don't care.
-
Because once the rot has discovered it’s already spread. You need to throw the whole thing out or else everything else will get tainted as well.
-
-
They’re all bad because no one ever plucks out the bad ones before they spoil the rest. This bad apple has been plucked out. Just left on the counter and will probably be back in three years but at least it was removed before it spoiled more

Even if this guy is imprisoned, it's the cop equivalent of martyrdom.
-
Nah they'll just tighten the circle to ensure less information leaks to the public.

Don't get too excited. It was in federal court.
-
Yep. Pardon in 3... 2... 1...

He'll get a suspended sentence and serve less than a year at best, if he doesn't get off on appeal, just you watch.
-
Yeah, not that it should be the case that the insides of prisons are kinda torture but, cops usually don't have a very good time behind bars
-
-
"Real prison time?"
Go find out what a black person gets for murder 1 against a white person. Then come back and spew some more bullshit about "real prison time"
-
Being in prison is real prison time. Yes, people of color get disproportionately more time (of they live), but prison time is prison time.
-
This guy didn't shoot anyone.
-
Go spend the better part of three years in prison and tell me it isn't real prison time.
-
Sorry... I try not to break the law
