Because nothing says “accident” like leaving a prisoner in the middle of a railroad crossing!

That’s barely more than a slap on the wrist. The system is rotten.

Dude. They have to maybe do community service. How can you say that!?

Thoughts and prayers for the officers family...

A cop is actually going to have to help people. That’s torture right there. This is clearly unconstitutional.

Exactly.
He'll never do it. And a fundraiser will be in his name.

She. It was a female cop.

Same difference. The cop will never do all the community service. They'll get paid for the entire time. And any fines will be paid by tax payers. There's no justice here.
