That's our criminal justice system at work, not the system being favorable towards a former cop.

We have multiple "frequent flyers" in my town that are arrested for all kinds of offenses, not unlike what this idiot did, who see less cumulative time inside of a jail cell than this guy.

Yeah, but I love how they pointed out his crimes were "victimless." Irony at its best.

Humphrey said his client's crimes were "victimless." He also praised prosecutors for not being "out for blood."

"I do appreciate the District Attorney's office willingness to be compassionate in this case, and I hope they get the same good feeling from it that I do," said Humphrey. "You have a person that's really sacrificed a lot to be a good public servant for many years."

Chief Deputy District Attorney Mark Pafford said he doesn't think Tucker got off on a light sentence, even though his office dropped a lot of the charges -- including the escape charge.

"I think it was a fair deal given all the circumstances surrounding it," said Pafford, who explained that Tucker would have technicallyhad to be booked into jail for the escape charge to stick.

I disagree with the Young Turks on several things, but they are on the right side of a lot of these police/civilian confrontations. Also, why was the guy charged with resisting arrest, yet, we don't know what the original charge was that he was being arrested for?

Tucker was also ordered to participate in a substance abuse rehabilitation program.

"If you spent any time with Ed, he would just -- you'd want him to be your best friend," said Kyle Humphrey, Tucker's defense attorney. "I think, under all the circumstances, society benefited and my client benefited from this outcome, so I can't complain."

I have no issue with this. My issue is that this sort of treatment should be extended to civilians as well...

I did and get it. Still think 4 cops should be able to subdue a 40 yr old woman with a heavy medevil axe without lethal means. This wasn't necessary imo...

There are rubber bullets, tazers and sprays that could've been used...

Sorry, cop was right on this one. If she were just walking around in a circle with it, or just standing there, then yeah you can argue they shouldn't have shot her. But she was coming at him and ignored him telling her 4-5 times to stop. It's not like the guy ran up, saw the axe and unloaded his clip into her without blinking.

OK, he's an habitual criminal. No question. He has four priors all for the theft of low dollar items. He clearly hasn't learned a lesson or perhaps he has a mental problem. Should the tax payers be footing the bill, which will be substantial to house, clothe, feed and provide medical care for this man for twenty years?

Obviously something has to be done but what? Any Ideas?

I think this is the appropriate forum for this item since criminal justice is a political issue right now.

Candy theft could mean king-size sentence: 20 years to life

Land of The Free...

Louisiana is the world's prison capital. The state imprisons more of its people, per head, than any of its U.S. counterparts. First among Americans means first in the world. Louisiana's incarceration rate is nearly five times Iran's, 13 times China's and 20 times Germany's.
