To the great smelly cop car you go!> [Judge Kenneth] King got in trouble for singling out a 15-year-old girl for falling asleep and having what he considered to be a bad attitude while she was visiting his courtroom with other teens.
Oh but that wasn’t the only punishment, he also had to take some sort of behavior course for a whole week with full pay.
That’s harsh considering he is a protected class.
Those judges protecting each other from consequences are no better than when corrupt policemen do it.
What he’s lost is reputational. He’s been publicly humiliated in front of the entire community and every person who appears in front of him knows what a sack of shit he is before any proceedings begin. He will never move into a higher position and will languish in traffic court until he quits and takes on a lawyer position somewhere.
Oh no the poor soul, he lost reputation for behaving like an insane out of line asshole, using power beyond his position to utterly humiliate another person in front of her peers.
Notice what he did was actually a violent physical and mental assault, exposed for all her class to see.
That judge should be in prison for abuse and assault.
He will still be highly paid and have the prestige of being a judge. Very possibly in a few years, this will be considered time served, and he will be moved up again.
I mean the fix is to vote. If you want justice then we need better leaders. Until then, it’s bullshit all the down. Especially in the South and Midwest.
Oh you sweet summer child. I know of a certain orange despot that would gladly reward this behaviour.
