Forcillo sentencing hearing - what will he get?

[SkyRider]

The lesson here is that it's ok for police to immediately shoot people they see as a danger to themselves. No need to try pansy things like de-escalation first.

Not all incidents regarding a man waving a knife on a TTC bus ends with the knifeman dead but that doesn't get much attention in the media or on TERB.

This is ridiculous logic. Forcillo showed much more intent than a drunk driver ever would.

Drunk drivers are stupid and make stupid mistakes.
Cops are not stupid. Plus they are sober, which means they must be held to a much higher regard

Sorry guys but if you get drunk and drive it shouldn't erase your knowledge that it is a dangerous thing to do.

I'm not sure how to express this but it seems a number of responses point towards the cop being sober as a difference. Both made bad decisions that were lethal. Both reasonably knew the consequences of their actions.

IF he was drunk should the sentence be less, more or the same?

Also, I think it is a broad generalization to say cops are not stupid. Like any large collection of people you will get a bell curve of intelligence.

Six years which becomes 2 years. OR 4 years for four deaths which becomes less than 2 years in prison. Both seem light to me.

That is the real commonality I am trying to refer to (the light sentencing). I realize it is probably in line with what is normally given but to me it feels light.
