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.

    96% of the planet - checks notes - doesn't have american cops running the show.

    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.

    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

    "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"
