I wasn't going to chime in on this subject because I'm a parent too, and I can feel the parents' pain.
That being said, I would love to go on an on about how trustworthy our police force is and that the bad apples are making the basket stink.....
Truth is, i haven't met any of these "good apples" All the cops that I have met are corrupt, and everybody I talk to has gotten out of some traffic ticket just because they knew someone at the force. They are a group (yes, together with the DA's) that protect themselves and each other. Who are we kidding???
The punishment for the officer in question was simply stated insufficient for the crime commited.
