I don't think the desire is so much to see the cop punished as it is to see other people in like circumstances being cut the same break as the cop.

I agree. The point that get's most people upset is not that the deputy won't be charged, it is the double standard that the DA used, and where the public has generally been charged. When a family member is killed in a preventable accident the family will forever pay a huge price. I'm not usually in favor of compounding it.

Yes in many cases there should be a double standard. When a sworn public official is corrupt or commits crimes, or falsely gathers evidence or gets bribed, I'm in favor sending them away for a very very long time breaking big rocks into little pebbles with loss of all pensions and no chance of parole.

Exactly. A far as a double standard,,, has this DA prosecuted someone is similar circumstances who was not a cop? A far as bribery, etc,, you are dead on.
