Well, you're wrong. This case is an example to the extreme detriment of those who argue they live by a different standard of justice though obviously they are a different class of people with regard to law & order. So are judges, but they don't wield guns, so we hear relatively little caterwauling about them. Only the early handling of the case was mishandled, but it's not like anything about this case was routine. The difference was we actually paid attention. I suspect if we paid this close attention to every case we would witness hundreds of bizarre cases not involving police that would reveal, perhaps to our astonishment, how commonly the uncommon cases are characterized by uncommonly outrageous deviations.I wouldn't say this case proves that cops don't have it easier. Heck, even in this case we saw that Amber was being treated with kids gloves by her fellow officers after the incident. But thankfully it didn't affect the outcome of the trial and justice was served.
Furthermore, leftists are acutely affected by the inability to notice how often the police have it worse. The Sacramento cops who killed Stephon Clark were just found, in absolute conclusion, to be guilty of no wrongdoing whatsoever, which of course they weren't, and yet the city paid $2m to his kids. This will affect how cops are treated by their superiors, and how they are expected to behave. Why? Because money. Because the city will want to avoid more payouts like that despite that its officers did absolutely nothing wrong. So now their the value placed on their lives becomes cheapened according to the misdeeds of a shitbag in the night who made a series of awful decisions. And the shitbag's kids are rewarded for him being a shitbag on the taxpayer's dime. Yet I hear no outrage whatsoever about that gross injustice from leftists.
Hypocrites.
