SENTENCING OF SIX POLICE OFFICERS
Talking Point:
What kind of ludicrous slap on the wrist are these sentences in regard to
the police beating people in Stanley Park?
If any other person did what they did, they would be in jail. But since
it's rookie police officers, they get house arrest, suspended sentences and
told not to do it again. And one of the officers gets a paid vacation for a
year, and all charges disappear! Somebody out there -- get real!
Let good police officers do the proper job and maybe, just maybe, the
police can earn a little trust back from the public.
