More “justice” in the Evil Empire

Man sentenced to 21 months after “test firing” laser at sheriff’s helicopter. A California man was sentenced Monday to one year and nine months in prison for firing a green laser at a Kern County Sheriff’s helicopter. [Ars Technica]

So the sentence for annoying a cop is 21 months. Keep in mind that a few months ago another California cop was sentenced to five months for beating a man to death, and the unusual thing about that was that she was punished at all.

    You mean she was not punished at all or she was punished at all.

      She was punished. Even the trivial punishment she received for murder was very unusual, because normally when cops murder someone they get a paid vacation instead of punishment.
