Easy on a cop

Even the county district attorney can't vouch for this slap on the wrist. Too out of control to have a driver's license, but he should still wear a badge? Ridiculous. Not too many other people with his record would get away without several days in the clink.
Sweet deal for wayward Portland cop | BoJack
Click that link. The story is completely ridiculous. That guy shouldn't be a cop after all that, nor keep his licence. But as always, people in power get out of trouble easy.
Pathetic.

$6,250 fine AND 1 year in STATE PRISON if you go on the tracks!

So don't go on the tracks.

Remember this dumb thing?
