It's not about the cop or his punishment. It's about the NYSUCKS act and the political agenda. This is a perfect example of how criminals will always be armed, police are human and there will always be abuse, and law abiding citizens shouldn't be punished for for the reality by removing rights.
See, politicians would say this is a success story since he was caught, and how hard it is to traffic guns, and a cautionary tale to dissuade others from similar crimes. They are justified, no, HEROIC for goin all out to get every gun- if ya cant trust cops, you REALLY cant trust the public. Ave citizens dont mean to be bad, they are just childern who can't help their stupid, weak nature... They would applade themselves for taking guns... THAT is the BS.
