One less person on drugs passing fake money is sadly deceased. Society will miss him.
Not long enough jail time. Instead of doing his job to protect every human being he encounters he chose to do nothing but watch a man die.
Why only 2.5 ?
This officer was on the job 5 day's. He is the only person who tried to stop the tragedy! Told them to pick George up. Sorry to see this charge.
He shouldn't have gotten that. That's ridiculous.
What a country! Police officer goes to prison over a black criminal. Who got the privilege now, is the question.

Good. Too bad leftist terrorists had to burn the country down because our system worked flawlessly. Lefrists are THE threat.
