A former officer with the Gary, Indiana, Police Department (GPD) was sentenced today to one year and a day in prison and one year of supervised release for violating the civil rights of an arrestee.
Terry Peck, 48, previously pleaded guilty to having used unreasonable force during the arrest of the victim, a man the defendant had stopped for an alleged traffic infraction.

Hey look at that - it wasn’t a random white guy he decided to do this to.
I’m surprised he got any time at all. Usually it’s just a slap on the wrist.

The bourgeois need to sacrifice one of their low ranking peons every so often to appease the proletariat and give the illusion of a kinda somewhat almost level enough playing field. .
