Honestly the assault probably raised the esteem his superiors who named him officer of the month have for him. Glad to see a prosecutor isn’t kowtowing to corrupt cops for a change.

The war on drugs is almost always the root cause of abuse by the justice system. No victimless crime is treated as harshly as drug crime.

The link seems to say that he was officer of the month in July of 2019. Not much better, as it was still around the time he was trying to murder people for traffic violations.

If he manages to get at least two kills during the remainder of the year he is still a shoe-in for Officer of the Year so he’s hoping that the suspension doesn’t keep him from completing the competition.
