White Cop Who Beat Black Man Avoids Jail Because He Teaches How Not To Abuse People
[su_right_ad]John Cerulli, was a Buffalo police officer when a video went viral of him beating John Willet, a black man who was handcuffed at the time. But Cerulli won’t be seeing any jail time.
Instead, Cirulli was sentenced to one-year probation on Monday by Chief U.S. District Judge William M. Skretny…
According to Buffalo News, Cirulli didn’t go to jail partly because he and the FBI are teaching other cops not to commit human rights violations.
Judge Skretny said that Cirulli’s work with the FBI will help prevent “culture” of excessive force in some police departments.
“There is a mentality, a culture, that is sometimes worrisome,” Judge Skretny…
In addition to the assault, Cirulli also admitted that he took a cell phone from the bystander who filmed the incident, but Cirulli was unaware the witness gave him a second phone without the beating video.
There was no such court leniency for Willet who did four months in jail for the drug charge that Cirulli arrested him for.

what can a violent cop teach besides violence and how to get away with it. this sucks
FrankenPC . December 2nd, 2014 at 8:31 pm
Yeah, this strikes me as a terrible idea. I could say something terrible about cops right now. But I’m not going to. I want to show the universe that I do actually have some form of restraint.

Loved that movie…still do. And the magazine it was based on.
Bit different than Dr. Doofenshmirtz, eh Hi?
Hirightnow December 2nd, 2014 at 9:26 pm
I used to read Heavy Metal and National Lampoon in Junior High School…none of the teachers knew enough to grab the magazines from me.
As for Doofenshmirtz? Well, I started to notice how much I looked like Walter White, and I hadn’t altered my avatar in a while, so…..

When a crime is committed, it is committed against 2 entities:
1. The personal victim(s)
2. Society in toto
My view is the criminal, to truly ‘repay his debt’, has to accomplish 3 things:
1. punishment. a term prison or community service, fine, what ever for that crime
2. remorse. he has to truly understand and accept he did wrong and it was wrong.
3. atonement. Somehow give back to victim/society. this is not including the punishment, 2 separate things.
It seems to me here that the judge confused part 1 & 3. It seems to me his ‘teaching tour’ is fine for part 3, the judge forgot to hand out part 1.
my view
