Women not allowed in the protection of "good ole boys club".

Still, a small victory is a victory.
And can be used as a precedent in later court cases.

i don't care what your gender is. do wrong, go to fricking jail, male or female. This is ridiculous.

....16 months is a joke. It should have been 16 years.

I was just saying, all the killer-cop males get off with no time.

How many deaths not related to police action are called "undetermined" after a beating or assault?

This fucking cop is a murderer.

but you would think the medical examiner would be able to determine that, they are in LA, I'm sure they get plenty of people OD'ing on Coke everyday. So its not like it would be unusual or unheard of, and they would be able to identify markers related to that.

But someone who was bashed in the throat and kicked repeatedly? They couldn't determine what ultimately killed them? That's straight up bullshit.

during the assault? If not, then what did cause her death?

Was it the amount of cocaine that lead to her death? Was it the blows from the officer? Was it something else?

a new law on the books just for police terrorizing people. It should be called terrorist assault.
Sandra was terrorized by this thug period. He could not come up with a reason why she was being arrested after she asked him 14 times.

and some of the people all of the time...

... If it had been you or I, I am pretty sure 16 months would not even have made it to the table.

we see some kind of "sentence" for police abuse. She should have been convicted of manslaughter for this.

Edited to change murder to manslaughter, as I'm pretty sure she did not intend to murder her.

would probably have had to determine her death to have been caused by homicide, without that determination it makes securing a murder conviction that can survive an appeal pretty difficult I would imagine.
So no, they convicted her properly but a longer time in jail was certainly warranted and I dont mean 6 months more I mean 10 - 20 years more because she damn well knew better than to hit someone in handcuffs no matter what the alleged justification.

she kicked her in the abdomen and crotch. Multiple times.

I don't know what the autopsy showed...I agree with you on that. Maybe she didn't die from being kicked.

Edited to update after reading article link
OK, so she said she couldn't breath, and she was hit in the throat...I don't know if she said that before or after she was hit. Why are people ignored when they say they cannot breath. I have asthma...I know what it feels like to not be able to breath, and panic makes it even worse. This needs to stop...when someone has drugs in their system and they are acting out, they need medical attention, not assault.

She needs some time to sit and ponder the depravity of the crime she committed against a human being.

what the actual fuck?!
