Strong injured suspects during three different excessive force incidents.

Can't give a definitive answer BUT
-- increasing tolerance of perverts and psychos will lead to this.
Every cop in the country who is a parent would love to stomp Dylan Mulvaney

There are such people in every profession.

If you want to cut down on tis behavilor reverse all the Biden-Harris anti-ipolice legislation. All it does is GREATLY INCREASE violence.

[SQRLSY]

No amount of punishment will EVER quench the unquenchable thirst for MORE violent punishment to be dished out by those with the raging "punishment boners"! If any LEO anywhere lashed out, then there can be no doubt, said LEO was fully JUSTIFIED! Damn the preverts and psychos; full speed ahead!

(Especially since I have a raging "punishment boner"! Is there video? Asking... For a fiend!)

You have a valid point.

I can't imagine having a young son or daughter in this day and age. The LGBT pedo cult and the worship of border jumper movements has turned downright predatory towards them. I'm a strong proponent of giving the benefit of the doubt to life and justice under the rule of law, but admittedly I read stories, here, elsewhere, that have me thinking that if I were a parent in 2025, I'd have a whole list of people that need immediate killing.

I for one am GLAD that PervFected You is SNOT a parent in 2025!!! We have enough parents and other "leaders" teaching their kids to be violence-worshitting and punishment-worshitting AuthorShitarians and TotalShitarians already!

Maybe in 2026. You never know.

The courts want his wife to take the full brunt of his frustrations? That's institutional misogyny is what that is.

[SQRLSY]

Yes, his wife... AND his kid(s), and his dog(s), too!

Speaking of cops and dogs... The idea has occurred to me... All of those animal shelters full of unwanted, un-adoptable dogs? And oodles and oodles of frustrated, angry cops unable to find enough dogs to shoot, while on their rounds? Who also need target practice? Well, this suggests that a win-win-win situation is here!

151 months for someone who "viciously beat, stomped, and shot three defenseless men".
What would Joe Sixpack get for that? The sentence should be about the same.

[mad.casual]

The sentence should be about the same.

I wouldn't disagree that there should be some extra "under color of law" sprinkled on top, and it's messed up that the ISP and FBI had to get involved, but 12 yrs. without killing anyone seems fairly middle-of-the-road typical.

[Rossami]

I agree strongly with the principle. I think that in this case, the sentence is about the same.

You left out the most important line, Chaz:

After good officers horrified by these abuses reported his actions

[mad.casual]

It's rural Indiana, gotta pretend policing there is just as bad as it is in Chicago.
