His life as he thought it was...is now over... and has properly been convicted.

Now he needs Jesus.

Makes you wonder what is going on in some people's minds.

There are no words to describe this! I have conflicted thoughts. On one hand....he should face severe penalties for what he did.

On the other hand....he is someones son, maybe father or whatever.

Until 2 years ago i never ever thought i could support a sex offender! I despised them.

So here i am. This forum is to help those accused of sex crimes. It is to not judge those who support sex offenders.

So to me it is a dilemma.

All i can say is law enforcement is not immune to sex offenses.

263 years--wow. And he is a cop, and he is in the south and they didn't let him off the hook. Good for them.

You know, as of late, we have had very good media exposure on the systemic issues we face throughout our nation involving government corruption and how deep it goes. To the media's credit, they are finely exposing what the rest of us have known for years, decades, and for some, their whole lives -- those in government are not to be trusted just because they have a title, a status, or a badge. Trust, like respect, must be earned by actions proving integrity, honesty, and transparency exist.

I saw this guy on the news - he is truly a mess. I cannot imagine what he was thinking for goodness sake!

I agree legal! That is why I say bunk tot he higher standard thing - a human should be judged on their integrity etc no matter what position they are in or no matter what label they carry!

I am not so inhuman as not to have been moved by his genuine raw emotions when he heard one by one the jury found him guilty. But his emotions were not of remorse, as they were of shock for he maintains he is innocent. Fair enough. Many others have proclaimed the same; some we find really are innocent and who knows, maybe he this ex cop is also innocent. However, every time I see a cop in handcuffs and on trial, I can't help but feel a sense of gratitude -- not hope that maybe justice does exist -- just gratitude that at least this time they did not turn blind eyes.

I think I have that same opinion legal but not against the police, but with prosecutors and politicians. You rarely see them face what they have done. I think police are nothing but pawns in the grand scheme of the registry.

Regarding the criminal justice system and the sex offender situation, the root of the problem with unfair laws and prosecutions are the politicians. If they did not enact so many laws, some of which are ridiculous and are only enacted for political reasons, and did not label the majority of these laws felonies, there would be fewer injustices and punishments that did not fit the crime.

Our lawmakers are also guilty of passing laws with outrageous punishments, especially in the arena of sex offender legislation. The politicians are the main culprit. To a lesser extent, part of the blame is the media which instills so much fear into the general population, who then clamor for all these laws to be enacted.

The politician connection is much like the legal doctrine, "the fruit of the poisonous tree," in that everything as a result of these laws becomes suspect.

The DAs are trash for sure, but without the ammunition given to them by the politicians in the form of bad laws, the DAs could no longer play the part of "hired gun" and some o these silly prosecutions would stop.

The police are pawns in that they are sworn to uphold the law, but many do more than just uphold any legislation. Some---particularly detectives---- are simply rogue cops, corrupt to the max, and others such as the policeman from OKC are just sick individuals who use the power of their bad to carry out their evil thoughts.

As for this particular police officer, it is difficult to have much sympathy for him. According to the court, he raped one woman while she was in custody and handcuffed to a hospital bed and he raped a 17 year old while she was on the porch of her mother's house. This guy was a monster.

"gratitude that at least this time they did not turn blind eyes." But why turn a blind eye this time?
Sorry, but I think since this officer is part Asian and lives in a very prejudiced section of the US, that he was just attempting to fit in, just trying to out-white his fellow white cops who got away with "it" before him (because they all turned a blind eye)
He thought his denials would be believed since his numerous victims were carefully chosen lower class black women with "records" so he thought his victims would be afraid to report. Like the women's attorney said, "When the cops are the ones doing bad things, who you going to report the bad stuff to? "
Ever wonder exactly why the white officers decided to use the officers GPS and police data to corroborate the numerous rape reports and investigate this particular police officer while all of Chicago ignored a murder by a white officer for over a year even though the videos clearly discredited the cover-up (blind eye) reports made by "fellow officers" Even wonder why the recent death of a SO sentenced to prison in AZ for a zillion years was instantly pronounced a "suicide" ?
In this particular rape/s conviction case, I think the office was weeping and shaking as he heard the verdict because he dreads what will happen to a former police officer in prison where shaking and crying is more than likely exacerbate his treatment in prison and at the very least make the man wish he were dead while one and all turn a blind eye.

Pawns or not - Asian or white - it does not matter. Cops, like everyone else, choose to do what they do, and the vast majority get away with it because of the preferential treatment they give themselves and to each other. The word "corruption" is carefully and narrowly articulated in statute to ensure the vast majority of those in government are not held accountable for what they do.

Judges give themselves absolute immunity from being held civilly liable by the people whom they screw over and politicians enact laws to make it nearly impossible to sue those in government so they too are not held accountable. All while those in government give themselves immunity and turn blind eyes to what they and their counterparts do, these are the same jerks who demand the "people" be held accountable and the more poor, the more black, and the more mentally ill the person is the more accountability those in government demand they absorb.

Here we go again....

Does the word hypocrisy ring a bell? Or.....how about the pot calling the kettle black?

Ok lets throw him under the bus. How about the public hanging? Or maybe the firing squad? Then again we can always stone him to death.

Or.....we can have compassion.

What happens if his mother comes on this forum for support? How about his wife? Do we tell them to take a hike?

Are you kidding me? Is this all about the system? Is this more important? Are you all above the law because you are not the law?

I am truly disappointed. I thought of all people there would be more compassion here than what i am reading.

I can not condone the behavior of this police officer. And yes...i believe the police have a higher standard than the average sex offender?

You know what really sucks??? Is that because of my support for and love and compassion for a sex offender has alienated me from my famiy and friends. They dont want to hear it anymore. There is no one i can talk to but all you and his mother.

So sad....
