How did this go from cop who made a big, stupid mistake while on duty to a clearly distressed and rather drunk off-duty cop beating on a waitress?
Post #4 too.
Why not compare him to the Gestapo and be done with it?
Other than that, I too believe the punishment was too light. I think they were more focused on what he did wrong, not the outcome and consequence of his decision.
