In New Jersey, about a year ago a Jersey City officer was sentenced to 11 years in prison for vehicular homicide. He drove drunk with a .24 BAC, and crashed into a mother and son; the boy died, and the woman was affected to a state of vegetation. Besides for a huge tragically devastating human mistake, such as this, I think that if a officer is guilty of an unnecessary violent offense crime, it usually goes unpunished because of either "crooked alliances," including informing to the victimized "suspect," that officers have reserved special authorization to act with brute force and violence, upon these victim/perpetrators, or witnesses(in the case of murder), report their claims of malicious abuse, unless the incident in question is caught on tape.
