Officer Repeatedly Sprayed Mace in Woman’s Vagina as Punishment: Lawsuit | Filming Cops

Surprise, surprise, the officers involved still work there. Oh but they were "disciplined" though.

If a non LEO citizen did something like this, how would we be "disciplined"?

What's the typical sentence for a violent sexual assault?

Laws regarding rape - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prison sentences for rape are not uniform. A study made by the U.S. Department of Justice of prison releases in 1992, involving about 80 percent of the prison population, found that the average sentence for convicted rapists was 11.8 years, while the actual time served was 5.4 years. This follows the typical pattern for violent crimes in the US, where those convicted typically serve no more than half of their sentence.

These 2 'officers' ought to spend at least 10 years in prison.
Now, that would send a message!

(1) “torture” means an act committed by a person acting under the color of law specifically intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering (other than pain or suffering incidental to lawful sanctions) upon another person within his custody or physical control

18 U.S. Code § 2340 - Definitions | LII / Legal Information Institute

You're more lenient than me, I would have called it torture. They deserve whatever punishment the justice system hands out for that. Do we still execute people for that?

I was going to share a BBC story about a pig in Texas who called a pit bull over to him (by making what was described as a kissing sound), and when the dog approached him porky killed him. It's even on video. But when I searched for the story I discovered dogs shoot alot of dogs, often pit bulls and rottweilers, which are not aggressive dogs. They have even shot labradors, which are some of the most loyal and friendly dogs I have ever known.
However, I found these stories which made me grin and laugh.
"Hells Angels get $990 K for dead dogs" - Overlawyered

“A California county will pay nearly $1 million to settle a lawsuit brought by the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club after police shot and killed three guard dogs during raids of the group’s headquarters and suspected members’ homes.” Santa Clara County supervisors okayed the $990,000 settlement “two months after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the county’s arguments that sheriff’s deputies should be immune from liability in the case.”

NYPD Officer Shoots And Kills Unarmed Man In Brooklyn

Totally innocent, unarmed man murdered by scared cop.
Because they can't go with their usual story that the victim lunged at the police making them fear for their lives, they are simply calling it an accident. Because the cop "accidentally" pulled his gun from the holster, "accidentally" pointed it at the mans chest, and "accidentally" murdered him. Good job NYPD.

12-year-old boy shot by Cleveland police has died | cleveland.com

Kid playing with toy gun murdered by police. 911 caller described it as "probably a juvenile" and "probably a fake gun" and is clearly describing kids playing in a park and not a deranged lunatic with a gun.

This could have been me. I played with toy guns all the time when I was a kid, albeit it was the 80s and the police state was only beginning to form then, so I was relatively safe from the police.

No, but I have one of these

No, I don't think we have a police state. Even when brutally overpowered, police uphold the law - regardless of whether the law is sane by any measure.

What we have is an occupation by a heavily armed paramilitary force which, being rather bored with the low crime, is gleefully indulging in a lynching spree.

Sadly I think America needs to be a so called police state, with all the crime that is churned out, what else could one do but police that.

You mean the lowest crime rate we've had in almost 50 years?

You know, if you let propaganda dictate what you believe is real you will almost always have ridiculous beliefs.

Nearly all forms of crime have been steadily dropping in the US since about 1990. It is not difficult to pull up this statistic either.

A drop in crime can be related to a police state, as we saw in NYC's illegal stop & frisk era. To oppress people of the appropriate demographic has its usefulness in reducing crime (at the expense of constitutional liberties).

Another round of **** the police!

A Staten Island grand jury on Wednesday ended the criminal case against a white New York police officer whose chokehold on an unarmed black man led to the man’s death, a decision that drew condemnation from elected officials and touched off a wave of protests.
This is ****ing pathetic! We have a video of the piggy MURDERING this man, his death was ruled a homicide, and porky walks free.

"Murder" would be the appropriate term if the cop intended Garner's death. But if it were just about restraining him using a deadly & prohibited choke hold, then it would be something else....but still a crime for which the cop (cops?) should be tried. I heard that a supervisor was watching, & took no action to stop the illegal assault of Garner....if so, she should be tried too.

Lets hope your right.

Warsaw pact countries in the day had among the lowest crime rates in the world. Of course this only applied to the civilian population.
