Commit the crime, do the time...

Does the punishment fit the crimes committed by this State Police officer? Seems to me he's getting off light for theft, distribution of drugs, and fraud along with money laundering, malfeasance in office and obstruction of justice that he was charged with. Then, there's another one who is caught stealing and no punishment awarded... It makes me sick to see this kind of thing going on within our State Police.

Throw the book at him. He needs to be made an example to keep the expectations of law enforcement high.

A year? A freaking year? An ordinary citizen would have gotten 15-20. This is atrocious. Then they wanna go around targeting window tint. Give me a break.

The one that stole the Yeti and fishing gear was not charged with a crime. He is not even claiming he did not do it.
No charges.

The Louisiana State Police, under Mike Edmonton, was a crime syndicate. The story referenced here, plus the evidence tampering story from 2 days ago, plus all of Edmonson's own shenanigans are probably only the tip of the iceberg.

What's really fricked up is the guy he coerced into selling it for him will get a lot more than 1 year I bet

They are covering up the chain of other people most likely involved. Sweep this under the rug and the others go free.

It does seem light.
Several factors go into sentencing though.
The average citizen punished for selling drugs has a lengthier criminal history. This guy has none.
The average citizen maintains innocence throughout the process. This guy may have accepted responsibility much sooner than most once recognizing the evidence against him.
The average citizen is much more likely to recidivate. This guy is much less likely.
Prison space is a scarce resource. Does this guy have the characteristics that warrant denying some other criminal his bed for more than a year?

As a honorably retired police ?? officer I have always thought that if you commit a crime while you are a police officer the sentence should be automatically doubled.
Just like they do for selling dope close to a school

What a crock of fricking shite... did the average citizen take an oath to uphold the law? Did the average citizen take tax money to carry out this oath?

He should be doing 10 years minimum.
If Geauxjudge got 10 years for reducing judgments against a nursing home in exchange for campaign funds then this guy needs to do 10+.

In GA Violation of the Oath of Office is 10 years alone, then you figure the rest of the crimes.

In state courts, first conviction drug dealers get probation.
This first timer got prison. Appears to me his violated oath was a factor in getting a higher sentence than the typical first time drug dealer with no criminal history.

He wasn't just a drug dealer. He was stealing drugs from evidence rooms you fricking idiot. But Go ahead and keep blindly backing these douchebags no matter what

If we start holding police responsible for every crime they commit then it will be nearly impossible for them to perform their duties. How can one serve and protect when he's always worried about getting in trouble for every little assault, theft or rape? Back the blue.
