Law enforcement officers have chosen to make a paid profession out of the responsibilities and duties that every citizen is given.

Therefore they should be held to a much higher standard.

Misdemeanor theft that would land a civilian a five-year jail sentence should become life without parole for a cop.

And make what would be a life sentence for the rest of us, into a death penalty for convicted cops.

I don’t know that I’d go along with life w/o parole or death, but I go along with the basic idea of a more harsh sentence for those in a position of authority and power who violate the public trust that has been given them.
Not is just wrong to violate said trust, it tends to cause many to not trust those who earn and deserve such trust.

Wow. You'd better have your asbestos underwear on.

Personally, I agree, though probably not quite to the degree stated. If we got anywhere near it, I'd be satisfied.
