A California state assemblyman [and former cop] wants to give a break to law enforcement officers convicted of involuntary manslaughter.
Under a bill filed by Jay La Suer (R-La Mesa), a law that requires increased prison time for those who use a firearm while committing a crime would exempt police officers and others "acting in good faith and in the performance of his or her duties.''

So many special deals. Cop-felons are exempt from the 1968 federal Gun Control Act; cop-wife beaters in Minnesota regularily get their cases reopened, pleas withdrawn, and original charges dismissed "in the interests of justice;" ... and it goes on ad nauseum.
