If any gun shop had handled transactions as sloppily as he did, the owners would be living in jail for most of the rest of their lives, with virtually every penny taken away.

At minimum, his pension should have been axed and fined at least five hundred dollars per weapon he stole that was unrecovered. But instead, he gets a slap. I'm sure that there's some lawyer who is living well right at the moment off of his legal fees, and in a way, that's a fine. But I don't care for most lawyers and would rather have such fines go to the city.

Justice, indeed, has been cheated. And so have law-abiding citizens, who expect that San Bernardino County's one-time top law enforcement officer be held liable for his transgressions.

Instead, Judge J. Michael Welch on Tuesday reduced Tidwell's felony charges to misdemeanors, sentenced him to three years' probation and fined him $10,000.

This is why no true American should buy into the Leftist claptrap that we should give up our guns and trust cops to protect us.

this might actually be a good thing in disguise.The next time anyone in this city is charged with a gun theft they need to point back to this case and pretty much force the proscuter to give them the same sweetheart deal under the guise of equal protection under the law or else tell the prosucuter hes going to trial and try for jury nullification.After a few of the gun thieves get away with it then the prosucuter will have his feet held to the fire to make make damn sure he treats goverment agents like felons the next time one of them commits a felony and not treat them like a long lost lover.
