I think a 22.5 year prison sentence for a white cop sends a strong message to corrupt, violent/abusive and/or racist cops.

Yep — don’t get caught.

All we need now is consistency--every bad cop must be held accountable for their crimes.

That’s a very low bar that we haven’t hit after decades of reform, and the Justice in Policing Act will be yet another “reform” that brings very little change.
