From the prior incident
According to CPS, Dunn was suspended with pay for a year after he was charged but has been brought back for an administrative role with the service.
Heyyyyy we went from no criminal conviction to a slap on the wrist in a few years. Maybe in a few decades we'll have real justice.
Yep, another vicious assault by a member of North America's largest street gang. ACAB, always.
Six months at home vacation and then six months curfew. For trying to kill a man.
Hang the cop, crucify his lawyer, and set the judge on fire.
Why crucify the lawyer?
In order for someone to be punished in a just society, they need to have a trial.
In order for that trial to also be just, both sides need to be able to put forth their side of what happened.
In order to make sure that there isn't a mistrial, both sides need competent lawyers, and the case needs a competent judge.
The alternative is that that police can just target people they don't like, knowing that they likely can't defence themselves, even if they are innocent.
