Another embarrassment by the courts. If it was you or I, we would be in jail and have a lifetime weapons ban. Courts need to start putting police at least on an even playing field and ideally held to an elevated standard as we give them exceptional powers so abusing/exceeding them should come with exceptional consequences.Off-duty Toronto cop avoids jail time for teen’s assault in ‘Kijiji deal gone bad’

Edit:
When judges tailor their sentences to avoid the big hammer, they should be fired. They know cops with a custodial sentence can get fired so they almost never hand one out. Even if someone dies, the thick blue line takes precedence.

We should go the route of electing judges to being democratic principles into our justice system.
Appointed judges leave no say to the public - they are free to act with near zero accountability and as Ford puts it, they are serving criminals -not the people of Ontario.
Cops with a custodial sentence are pretty much fired immediately, because they simply can't report for duty. A conviction, even with a non custodial sentence, can result in being fired. It does. however, feel like he was under-convicted. If the injury received in that "interaction" resulted in a brain bleed, then he's guilty of much more than simple assault.
My knee jerk reaction is the same but the reality is we could end up with a ton of wrongful convictions by judges that want to get re-elected by being seen as hard on crime. I don't think the general public has the time or intellect to handle the challenge.
