Probably why the 4 officers who shot up the newspaper delivery truck with two women inside haven’t even been named - because our laws do not apply to them.

If this guy was a big prick, it might not be fun to find himself on equal footing with former subordinates, and below sergeants who used to work under him.

Every cop within 30 yards of the incident needs sufficient punishment to make him share the story with his great grandchildren. Including and especially the cardio-challenged University cops.
... ‘cos the cops gotta work with the prosecutor’s office?
This sort of stuff happens in the sticks all the time.

These morons are entitled to their day in court, but unless it is a kangaroo court, the chief’s decisions will prevail. I hope the nurse has her day in civil court, and relieves both the city and the officers of a portion of their wealth. The nurse did her job to the nth degree. The policemen earned a zero.

We used to call this:
Felony Kidnapping
Conspiracy to Commit Felony Kidnapping
Extortion
Using a Firearm during the commission of a Violent Felony
Unlawful Imprisonment
