When officers are involved in criminal acts the sentence should be doubled.

7 keys of fentanyl and they’re only facing 10 years lol ?

Shocking. How can two responsible people within the community even consider doing something so reckless? It appears to be a case of greed - people who just think of the money here and now. Their police wages and all the benefits involved should really be enough to keep these officers on the straight and narrow. Obviously these men got greedy and wanted more. With fatality rates for people using fentanyl on the increase - this alone should be enough evidence to deter anyone distributing fentanyl to anyone who does not have a prescription for it. But being a policeman in prison - that's going to be difficult for them having to watch their backs against the other inmates since I imagine police officers are not best liked in prison settings.

If found guilty it could be 10 years to life. They of course still have to play the thin blue line hero card.

I hope a lot of you won't hate me for this but I share with you truth when I say there's a connection between the rise in catalytic converter thefts and fentanyl manufacturing.

Is this the infamous pair Batman and Robbin from the streets of Columbus Ohio? If so it’s about time, lock them up and throw away the 🔑.
