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.
Yep, another vicious assault by a member of North America's largest street gang. ACAB, always.
Just a quick reminder that another Calgary cop was involved in a similar assault 8 years ago.

And as always, ACAB.
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.
