I rag on the UK a lot for its nanny-statism, its coddling of criminals and its criminalizing of self-defense and self-defense tools (guns), but I have to admit that they are far harsher on abusive and crooked cops than we are here in the US, treating them far more like common citizens than Angels In Blue, which happens all too often here.
In this case the abusive cop was only caught because of the pervasive Big Brother closed-circuit TV monitoring that goes on routinely in the UK, so I'm conflicted. The CCTV was employed in the cause of justice in this case, but all too often you hear stories of CCTV footage being used to harass citizens for minor infractions such as littering or failing to clean up their pet's waste.

CAN NOT BELIEVE I AM SAYING THIS,BUT KUDOS TO THIS ENGLISH JUDGE. THIS IS A MINIMAL SENTENCE FOR WHAT HAPPENED BUT IN THE U.S. IT IS 20 TIMES MORE PUNISHMENT THAN WOULD HAVE OCCURRED.THE FIRST SIGN OF A COLLAPSING CIVILIZATION IS WHEN THE LAW DOES NOT APPLY EQUALLY TO ALL CITIZENS REGARDLESS TO THEIR POSITION IN SOCIETY.LEOs AND ALL MEMBERS OF GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE HELD TO A HIGH STANDARD. IGNORANCE OF THE LAW IS NO ACCUSE CERTAINLY FOR THOSE WHO MAKE AND ENFORCE THEM. STRING THEM UP IT WILL TEACH THEM A LESSON.
