Man spits on cop, gets life in jail

[mburbank]

I think it's very brave your friend the cop has come out.

I'm aware cops get spit on. If COPS has taught us nothing else, it's taught us that.

I think it's very bad to sppit on cops. think it's very, very, very bad to beat your wife. I don't think the law was written in such a way as to take that into account, though. As in, spit on a cop, five years, spit on a cop after beating your wife, life.

Your judgement, accurate though it may be, on the value of this man's life, has little to do with laws or the concept of punishment and crime having something to do with each other. This degree of punishment to crime ratio is nothing the government should have under any circumstances, and you shouldn't want it, lest you get five to ten for a parking violation or twenty years for passive resistance. So far the US is still not a police state, but if this sentence passes as a humerous sidebar in the press, we'll be well on our way.

"He spitted. Those acts is aggainst a pre-written legal law. He should have his head torn off in front of his family for the spitting and then they should give his body into prison for the raping of it."
