Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".
That's a weird link I'm not going to click on.
A city cop was thrown in jail for two months after copping Wednesday to perjury and official misconduct for lying about a gun bust in Washington Heights.NYPD Officer Sasha Cordoba, 35, falsely claimed she saw a 38-year-old suspect threaten another man with a gun and that she and her partner had seen it in his waistband on Nov. 6, 2014.
I'm glad she was convicted. Still though two months isn't quite enough. She should get whatever the maximum that Choice could have gotten.
Especially since she had been convicted once before for being dirty. Even if a judge tossed the 2014 conviction on a technicality, the handwriting was on the wall. And she was too arrogant to learn from the 2014 case, so she went right on being dirty until it finally caught up with her (again).
When a cop/presecutor/other government employee LIES in an attempt to secure a conviction, IMHO they ought to get at least the same penalty the target of their lies was facing should they be convicted.
Begs the question: How many times did she get away with it?In my opinion EVERY SINGLE arrest she ever made, every testimony she gave, every report and every statement she ever made is now compromised.
You know, I was going to ask if you really meant that, even for capital offenses. And then I realized it made quite a bit of sense.
