Cop sentenced to 6 years for fatally shooting unarmed mentally ill man
A California police officer was sentenced Friday to six years in prison for fatally shooting an unarmed mentally ill man during a slow-speed car chase in a wealthy San Francisco suburb.
GOOD!!!!! This impenetrable shield police get to hide behind is bullshit. Negligence and incompetence does not get excused because you wear a shiny badge for your day job. Hope he has a horrendous prison experience as well. Its that deterrent against future crimes we're looking for, so the harsher the better.
Generally, ex-cops serving time DO get rough treatment from other inmates. When I worked at a prison, only snitches and child molesters got worse treatment.
One question not addressed in the article was why this cop was allowed back on the streets pending the investigation, during which time HE KILLED SOMEONE ELSE that didn't deserve to die.
I'd bet that, just like Derrick Chauvin, officer Andrew Hall has several excessive use of force complaints on his record and probably dozens more that were swept under the rug by police management because the complainant was a criminal.

When your only tool is a gun every problem looks like a target.
ReplyDeleteThe sorry bastard should have been charged with and convicted of murder in the first degree under color of law.
ReplyDeleteNotice, two mentions about how he "endangered fellow officers". Nothing at all about all the citizens downrange when this idiot did his mag dump.

The last sentence shows that the Sheriff's dept. needs a good cleaning itself.
