Officer who forced dozens of anal cavity searches for fun gets only 2 years in prison

Hoping that the person responsible for these crimes suffers abuse in prison is vengeance rather than justice. Two years is probably too short a sentence.

What changes in policy are Milwaukee police enacting to prevent this type of abuse ever happening in future? How about - every use of a cavity search by police is automatically referred to a complaints authority or the Internal Affairs?

That would dissuade police from making unnecessary searches, if only because it would take up their time filling in paperwork and attending hearings to defend their actions - people making many cavity searchers would rapidly be identified - but a cavity search would still be an option for use when justified.
