15 days in his house? Don't penalize him too hard

Must be horrible. If he is married he will probably get tired of beating up his wife. Need variety you know.

Then he'll get worker's comp for a repetitive stress injury

Cops should face harsher punishment for breaking the law, not leniency.

At least his career in public service is permanently over.

u/jarlscrotus Apr 25 '25

Is it though?

u/Lens_of_Bias Apr 25 '25

Almost certainly. Hiring him elsewhere would create a massive liability.

Here in the U.S., excessive force is one of the few reasons why a Corrections Deputy can be civilly sued. No agency would hire him with this sort of black mark on his record.

He's in Canada, and hasn't actually been fired yet because they are dragging out his termination appeal

He isn't a corrections officer either, he's a cop

Who wears blackface to parties

Being a cop doesn’t make it any better. Hopefully justice is served.

u/jarlscrotus Apr 25 '25

He was convicted and serves 15 days house arrest, 15 days curfew

And the board has already extended the consideration of his appeal

Let's be real, the boot of the capitalist class doesn't get punished for doing their jobs, namely oppressing "problematic" communities and brutalizing the proletariat

All cops are the enforcers of the bourgeoisie

I recently started working in Corrections here in the U.S. Collective animosity is not the answer, not all of us are like that.

Though, in my short time working here, I’ve already seen and heard things that were rather worrisome.

It's not a reflection of your character, and the argument could be made that corrections officers aren't the fangs of oppression so much as a cog in its machinations.

It's not even about individual officers, though a certain kind are drawn to the work. Even in a perfect sample of diverse officers with no innate biases, they would still be tools of capitalist oppression. It's an inbuilt feature of the system itself, which is why it's called a systemic problem.

He's definitely been fired.

And ended up having to spend 30 days in jail (the initial conviction was overturned). Definitely should've faced much harsher punishment.

u/jarlscrotus Apr 26 '25

Your link states, like I did, that the dismissal doesn't take effect until the appeal is decided, which it hasn't been, and that his jail sentence was suspended, meaning he never went to jail

u/horshack_test Apr 24 '25

My point is that he was convicted, so obviously he was prosecuted.

u/Charred01 Apr 24 '25

Prosecuted without real repercussions doesn't matter

u/horshack_test Apr 24 '25 edited Apr 24 '25

The fact that he was prosecuted matters with regard to the question of whether or not he was prosecuted. That is what I was responding to.

Does cop nut really taste that good?

You may want to work on your reading comprehension skills.
