Hear, Hear. I agree completely. Police should be held to a HIGHER standard than regular citizens by virtue of the enormous power they posess. I think that they should automatically DOUBLE the sentences of any police officer convicted of a crime. Just like they double the sentences of anyone convicted of committing a crime against a police officer.
Sadly, though instead they do the opposite. Many people go out of their way to make excuses for rogue police officers (including many people on this forum). Police have powerful unions that keep these bad guys in uniform long after any other person in any other job would have been dismissed.
Can someone tell me this? Why do they randomly drugtest McDonald's employees who are flipping burgers, but the Police officers unions have been able to prevent random drug testing of police officers (who carry guns)?
I have said that myself. I agree completely. Cops who commit a felony should get double the sentence.
