Chicago cops are the best

I don't have a problem with a guy with a long, exemplary record getting a 2 year suspension without pay for one incident (in addition to the criminal charges). Everybody has a bad day. I don't think he should take the fall for the entire department's problems, which are being dealt with (hopefully...) as they should be - by stopping the culture of abusive behavior, not by overly punishing a single offender who isn't necessarily a part of the culture himself.

He could be, of course, and that's different, but from this one bit of information, I don't think he should be fired.

How many years in prison should a civilian get for handcuffing someone to their wheelchair and then hitting them repeatedly? Is two years' probation sufficient for that particular crime? After all, he was having a bad day.

You stop the culture of abusive behavior by hammering each and every individual that propagates that culture.

You think so and I think so, but I'm wondering whether Snoopy thinks so, or should we label it a culture of abusive behavior and go after the ringleaders.
