Re: Ex-cop charged with murder in Calif. shooting
Some prisons have cops in general population. They shouldn't have special protection if the break what they swore to uphold.
This cops gun should have never been drawn. That kid had no gun. He has a nightstick and pepper spray. Why take out your firearm?

Though is most instances I side with the cops. No one knows how the victim was behaving before he was taken down. But the cop has a responsibility to society to use appropriate force and anot abuse his position. He apparently did that in some capacity and should be punished accordingly.
Actually former cops are isolated from general population in prison.
Same for people who commit financial crimes too.
Actually I think that depends what state you're in. My father is the superintendent for a prison in West Virginia (I know, make fun all you want) which is primarily focused on special protection inmates. Most of the inmates are pedophiles and rapist, thought WV has kind of gone away from segregating people like that. There are cops and former prison guards in the population (one nearly killed my father in a dispute four years ago). Not the best source of information, but I also recall on The Shield when they were going to send Lem to prison they were worried about him being killed in the general population. Again, not exactly a credible source, but certainly something to consider.
Actually what happened with Lem on The Shield was Antwon Mitchell. Lem was going to be seperated if I remember correctly, but Mitchell basically ran the prison he was going to be sent to, and even had guards on the payroll. Lem was a dead man if he went to that prison.

Cops should be seperated imo. They might be worse (imo) than the criminals, but if regular prisoners have someone looking out for their rights, there's no reason why a bad cop shouldn't. Otherwise it's all hypocritical.
If i'm a juror, and I send a man to prison - I want him to serve time. TIME. Not get shanked in 48 hours. That's how stupid the average prisoner is. It's much more punishable to let them live in prison for their life, than to make it easy and take them out.
