Nice to see a rotten apple pull some real time, all too often we see special treatment for "our masters." Crimes under the color of authority, unless harshly punished, can result in a loss of respect for honest and hard working officers.

You know, a gal I knew dated a guy that admitted to having committed close to 100 armed robberies. He told me he gave it up, because he was tired of looking over his shoulder. Why, you ask? Because he was robbing drug dealers.

After being around him a few times, I believed it. Not surprisingly, he turned out to be the kind that beat up women.

By the time I found out about the abuse, I had moved up to better acquaintances.

I look back now, and I can't believe some of the people I hung around with or met.

He wouldn't be if it were up to the judge. The rest of the story (bold emphasis on text mine)...

The judge condemned Murray's crimes and the impact they had his victims and fellow officers. He also had strong words for the federal sentencing rules that required him to give the former officer what is essentially a life sentence, one that Motz called "grossly disproportionate" for the offenses.

Murray was convicted with another former police officer, William King, in April. Motz sentenced King to 315 years in prison last week.
