ReplyDeleteWell seems whoever left that comment wasn't being quite straightforward. He was ALLOWED to plea bargain AWAY his domestic violence charges, plead GUILTY to a lesser charge, and is on probation - and has the opportunity after he complies with all of the REQUIREMENTS to have even that piddly charged erased too. That's privledge. And since he "resigned" in June and has pled away his dv charges he will be able to present himself as if he doesn't batter and probably get a NEW cop job... or once the media goes away get his old one back. As Solomon said, there's nothing new under the sun. Same ol, same ol.
