That never works, and yet.
The one thing where a cop finds surefire consequences: stealing from the government.
Is it just me or does it seem like the Brickbats dried up in the last few days?
They used to be about someone dying or getting assaulted and the officials facing no consequences or shamefully pitiful consequences, but the last several have been "Officer faces 7 yrs. for beating up 3 people." and "Officer faces 4 yrs. for stealing $320k." and "Deputy fired for (non-sexually?) harassing women in rehab program."
'Between'?
So, like, they roll a dice every day to see if he's going to be let out?
"It depends on how much money he can scrape together on the outsi... er... I mean good behavior." - Warden/Parole Board
But it was just a simple bookkeeping mistake - - - - - - - - -
The more than $320,000 should have been mis-labelled ass hush money and hussy-pussy money pair to Spermy Daniels, AND he should have won high political orifice, and THEN he'd be OK!!!
