Cop Kicks Woman In Face; Will Serve No Prison Time

Edward M. Krawetz, the suspended Lincoln patrolman convicted of battery for kicking a handcuffed woman in the head outside the Twin River slot parlor, was imposed a 10-year suspended sentence with probation and was ordered to undergo counseling. He will serve no prison time.
Superior Court Judge Edward C. Clifton convicted Krawetz, of Lincoln, on Jan. 23 after a non-jury trial during which the prosecutor asserted that Krawetz committed the felony when he kicked Donna Levesque, of Uxbridge, Mass., in the head on the evening of May 31, 2009.

Officer Edward Krawetz, 47, was given a 10-year suspended sentence with probation. He was found guilty in January of felony battery with a dangerous weapon for kicking Donna Levesque, of Uxbridge, Mass. The incident occurred as Levesque sat on a curb outside the Twin River Casino waiting for a patrol car to pick her up for booking on a disorderly conduct charge on May 31, 2009.

In arguing for prison time, Regine cited a 2001 incident in which Krawetz pleaded no contest to a simple assault charge and was suspended from his job. The suspension was served one day a week over about five months, Harwood said.

1. You can't take the gun from a cop who batters his wife. It's his "tool of the trade". Being that it was NPR, nobody bothered to ask why that didn't apply equally to hit men.
2. If you take the gun from an angry, violent cop, that'll only make him MORE angry and violent. Again, nobody asked why that didn't apply to hit men, drug dealers, et al.
3. You can let a wife beating cop carry a gun because he'll be "closely supervised"... just not closely enough to keep him from kicking his wife's teeth down her throat.

To further illustrate the absurd double-standard in the way police violence is treated compared to civilian violence. This forum is dedicated to carrying tools which we hope will protect us in violent situations, and such carrying often involves, unfortunately and unneccessarily, involves police interaction. It is good to know how differently the injustice system treats those who pay to operate it and those who are paid by it and are accoutered with a shiny piece of State-issued costume jewelry.

I would also point out to you that this is the Social Lounge.

Since you will no doubt delete your inane comment forthwith, why did you bother posting it?
